<p>I'm in the cambridge community, and I was hoping someone--anyone?--could help me with my laundry issues. I've been doing my own laundry for years, but then I come here, and the washing machines don't really clean my clothes that well. any stains that were there before are still there, except set-in, even when I pretreat them. Plus, the machines always become unbalanced and make a ton of noise, but I can't find a way to stop it mid-cycle so I can rearrange my clothes.</p>

<p>So then I go to dry my clothes, and the dryers just smell awful. I always try and use one that smells the least-offensive, but my clothes still come out smelling like this awful B.O. smell. I clean the lint trap, I use laundry sheets, I run it with hot water and dry it on high heat, but dang it I just can't get my clothes clean! Is there something I'm missing? Anyone have any sage advice, or a similar problem?</p>

<p>Oh, I have sage advice that i am SO excited to share! The same thing was happening to my D right here at home, only her clothes, no one else's. Weird. I tried everything...Oxyclean, 20 Mule Team Borax, vinegar, baking soda. Nothing worked. The thing that does work is...dish soap. (We're using Joy at the moment.) A squirt in your load along with your regular detergent should do the trick. Good luck. Let me know if it works!</p>
