    Smelly washing
    I have a problem with my clothes smelling dirty and fusty after each wash. I purchased a new machine as I thought it was the machine however it definitely isn't as the washing is still smelling awrful. I have already used drain cleaners etc but problem still there, what else can I do. I am at the end of my tether as I have three children including a 6 month old baby. Please give any suggestions to this problem.
    Thanks.:mad:

    You may have to install a whole house water filter to clean up the water being used to wash the clothes in. I had the same problem when I lived in South Florida and I solved it by having a whole house charcoal water filter installed. Not only did my clothes smell better but my skin and hair was finally clean!

    Where you live is the water from the city or is it from a well?

    I agree with TwinkieDooter. Install whole house filtration system. There are many different types and brands and vary from cheap to very expensive. Also, they may be very simple or very complicated. But for the starters, go to Sears to get an idea...
