White vinegar, run them again. All good.

would add baking soda but yeah, it gets the funk out.

The baking soda will just neutralize the vinegar though? And you'll get salt water? Vinegar is good at getting smells out though.

not sure on the precise chemistry involved in the reaction, but it works like a charm for getting stains and smells out of laundry, and takes smells out of counters etc. w/o using harsh chemicals. you should give it a try.

baking soda+ vinegar makes carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate

So you started the load again, and then forgot again.

Dump a cup of white vinegar into the wash, let them soak. Mildew will be gone. Add an extra rinse if it smells of vinegar.

Shit, not quite as bad but this post reminded me I have clothes sitting in the dryer I wanted to hang up about 2 hours ago.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Do what I do- leave them in the dryer until you need to use the dryer for something else. Fuck the man!

I once went on a 2-week vacation and forgot to take out the very full and very moist trash out of my nice and warm kitchen.

It was... thriving, when I returned. Hard to describe how disgusting it was. I actually threw up while cleaning it out.

I once forgot a pear in my pantry when I left town for 2 months.

When I came back it was a stem in a puddle of black liquid.

dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they'll be fine.

He wishes there was such an easy fix for two planes flying into skyscrapers.

Baking soda can't melt steel memes

Make sure to wash away your national tragedy with cold water

[–] flamehenry@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (9 children)

I see this often. Does this work better than just washing again with tablets? Or even just a water wash?

That explains why you smell.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

It’s flattering you think that’s the reason I smell.

My brother. 2 days is really good. A week is normal. Yes it pisses me off!
