I've used eco eggs for years but they aren't strong enough for teenage boys in hot weather smells so I switched to pods (Fairy). I've been using them for about 2 months. I double rinse the clothes.
I do regular service washes, always leave the door open etc. I have never had a smelly washing machine. But now my machine stinks! I've just put it on the longest, hottest cycle with a vinegar prewash.
But I'm surprised by how much foam there is in the machine which is obviously from left over pods/detergent. Is this what has made my machine so smelly? Are all pods like this?
We literally have nowhere to store a box of powder. Plus this is the only non ecoegg stuff I've used that hasn't had my family moaning about being itchy.
