washing smells

[mufti]

my "clean" washing still smells of baby sick/milk.
i keep his washing separate in dirty washing basket and wash it all separately.
just ironing hubbys trousers and they smell, it bugs him, and me.
took a load of baby stuff out of tumble dryer, still smells, not enough laundry liquid, too much in the machine , maybe , but afecting other stuff too washed separately eg the trousers, cant keep washing things twice , especially now with winter coming , takes longer to get everything dry once never mind twice

check the filter isn't blocked

on washing machine or tumble dryer?

washing machine. they get clogged sometimes with baby socks or other small items and the first i usually know about it is the smell.

if its not that try running the machine a few times empty just to wash it out.

ok, will do, think i will put a descale through too.
hubby lived alone till we got married his year , then baby came, the machine is probably wondering what hit it!

lol

if it does turn out to be a sock in the filter invest in some little nets to put them in to wash them so it doesn't happen again

i will get him to move it and see if he can work out where the filter is.
there are a lot of missing socks thats for sure

theres usually a removable square in the front that you can prise out with a screwdriver..... then unscrew the filter.
