So, I was doing laundry tonight and a couple of days ago I thought to myself "boy, I must have a few loads, my clothes are disappearing". I thought I might have left a few at Jeff's house but NO....so I went about doing the laundry and I was also going to wash the throw rug in the kitchen......took it to the "shredmore" ( i do all the "normal" laundry in the maytag 806's) wouldn't you know that there was a load of DRY STINKY laundry in there!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure that you guys being washer people have done this before but this is my first time!!! I felt like an ASS!!! ANYWAY.....i rewashed the stinky laundry and all is well again..........just thought i'd share my story with you GREAT gentlemen!!!
WHAT AN I D I O T !!!!!!

It happens! Most people don't admit it. You should see how it gets when you have two places and two machines to remember to keep up with, especially if one is at a vacation home with a few too many cocktails served in the afternoon.
It is hard to get that smell out. I use oxygen bleach.

Welcome to our age bracket!
FEH! you are doing fine. You still remember that you have a laundry room and machines; and best of all what they are for.
When it happens to me, I say "I am officically my mother now" and skip off happily.

Funny the things that happen when you have way too many washing machines!

It happens now and then, usually only for a day or so. It's not uncommon to open a dryer and think "There they are!" after a week or more has gone by since the load was put in. My son really doesn't like 'dressing from the dryer' as there are too many. "Which dryer dad?"
Whink Rust Remover will get those stains out fast - be careful though, it's a powerful chemical and can ruin surfaces if spilled.

Water rust stains most of the time can get removed by washing them in a good detergent with lots of enzymes. The water company overhere advises to prewash with Biotex, which is a biological prewash detergent. It works well for that kind of rust.
Now go stand in the corner, I'm sure Jeff will deal with you later. LOL
Ducking and running!

Been there; done that.
If you're experienced with diluted Clorox, it works like a charm. If you're leery of the big "C" ammonia works too.
FOR RUST ~
I read about this years ago, and it has never failed me. Please try it.
Squeeze fresh lemon onto the stains. Rub in some salt--I use sea salt, but I'm sure any salt will do. Lay the garment in the sun for a spell, and as if by magic, the rust is gone. Some day when old enough for Viagra and with nothing else to do for four hours of priapism, I'm going to lay out in the sun with the rusted garment and watch to see it disappear.

2 washers no waiting...
Ever since we hooked up that Maytag 806 Michael has been hooked, and having two machines going makes the washing go by fast...I think though the Maytag gets used 2:1 over the shredmore!
Now if I were better mechanically inclined, I would have already figured out how to get the 806 dryer hooked up(it needs a 220V outlet) or how to piggy back my DG608 dryer off the gas line of the Kenmore dryer.
Don't feel bad Michael, I've left clothes in the washer for days at a time too, and I onlu have ONE hooked up at my house!

I've "lost" many an item that I forgot were sitting in the dryer from the previous week. I've never left a load in the washer.....yet, but I'm sure that day isn't far away.
Call a plumber or a gas-fitter!
~or how to piggy back my DG608 dryer off the gas line of the Kenmore dryer.
Remove nipple, add "T" fitting and valve maybe some pipe and flexible connector and VOILA!
Don't DIY.

HECK NO
I will not do DIY with gas dryers...
Michael was saying the kenmore dryer was sounding funny after we came back from Omaha, even swapping the Kenmore out for the Maytag scares me!

Michael don't feel bad, most everyone has done it. You're not losing your mind. Bob

this reminds me of something that happened to me a couple weeks ago when i was cleaning my apartment. i found a pair of shoes i had not worn since Spring and did not recognise them. for about 10 seconds my mind raced wondering whos shoes they were and what were they doing in my apartment!
i asked one of my coworkers in the 40s age range and he says this is more common as one gets older? is this what i have to look forward to?? (lol)

So are you saying that you have so many men in your apartment that you didn't know who could have left in "such a hurry" as to forget their shoes??? LOL just teasing.....hope that is ok.

Well technically we all are, just a tad every day but it's normal. LOL
I mean how many of us have gone down to the basement to fectch something and have NO IDEA what it was. Or go to the supply closet at work and notice all the pretty colors the pens come in...and have no idea why you are there.
My mother went to make coffee in a Farberware perc when she was in her 40's. Strange smell emerged from coffee-pot. ---> She forgot the water.
Be thankful the mind goes slowly. This way we cant miss our youth, looks, money, hair, muscles and body-tone, friends, intelligence,the pre-viagra decades and sharp wit as much, as they leave us ever so slowly.........
