    Rotten Egg Smell Associated with Washer Use
    When I run my front loading washing machine, the house begins to smell like rotten eggs.
    The first time the smell appeared was when I used the washer after a period of not using it (hadn't used it for about a week). The smell did not occur before this. I ran a load of bleach through the washer, but the next day it reappeared. I do not use well water. Any suggestions..?
