    Clothes smell like oil
    I have a Whirlpool Dryer and my clothes have been coming out smelling like oil. They have no spots on them, they just smell like oil. My husband does work at Deere and comes home with grease on his clothes, but I wash them separate from the rest of our clothes. It is also taking a long time for our clothes to dry. Any suggestions?

    I believe the problem you are having is actually stemming from a problem in the washer. The dryer usually gets the blame since that is where we notice it and this also may include the dry time. If you could supply me with the brand and model numbers for both machines we can try and resolve this together.
