Many new, High Efficiency (HE), front loading washing machines develop odors due to mold and mildew growth
in the internal plumbing. The mold and mildew growth are also the source of diaper rash, jock
itch and other itching problems that seem to come and go for no particular reason. These nasties are also the cause of
smelly wet towels, sour t-shirts and other laundry that smells after being used or worn for a short time.
See the "Why the Smell?" tab
above for more information
The Problem:
If you only do a few loads of laundry a week, there are days where the washing machine just sits. The water that is left
standing in the machine has plenty of time to grow mold and mildew. If a machine is used a lot, the mold and mildew can be
flushed out before the odors become a problem. But that does not always happen. If the mold and mildew do not get flushed
out, they are transfered to the laundry and then the odor blooms after it gets wet again.
See the "How
HE Washers Work" tab above for a more detailed explanation.
The Solution:
If you are having odor problems I suggest you try the basic methods first. Your machine / detergent
/ softener combination and your use pattern may allow these simple solutions to be effective in your situation. Simple is
always better.
See the "HE Washer
Cleaning Directions" tab above for the different ways of cleaning the machine.
But, if you are blessed with a high tech, high efficiency laundry system, and the other methods don't
work ---
You will need to move up to another method........ Just as I needed to.
I am a retired,
chemical engineer and I created Nu Fresh because none of the other methods worked for me. I was always forgetting to do the
shock treatment. Or, I ran the shock treatment and it did not work that well. So, I came up with a material combination that
did work in my situation
Now that I have something that works, I decided to offer it on the internet through
this web site.
I
recommend that you try Nu
Fresh if other methods do not work.
Nu Fresh is unconditionally guaranteed to work or you get your money back.
____________________
You put a capful or two of
Nu Fresh into the dispenser with a tablespoonful of detergent. Usually Nu Fresh is used in the first load or two of laundry
each week to help control odors continuously.
You will probably want to try Nu
Fresh after you wash and dry and fold and put away a few loads of laundry ---- only to find out the mildew smell returned
the first time you use a towel or wear a t-shirt.
See the "Real Problem" tab for a "you
got to be kidding" case and testimonials.
Re-washing is time consuming --be smart.
Nu Fresh will work to keep
the odors continuously under control.
