How to Remove the Stinky Smell From HE Washing Machine

How can you remove the stinky smell from washing machines? A tip for removing the stinky smell from washing machines is to simply add 10 – 15 drops of purify or Melaleuca essential oil on wet wash cloth and wash.

That is ALL you want in the washer and you want to use HOT water/Clean cycle if you have one. You can also add 1 cup of vinegar if you want for additional aid in cleaning the washer.

I did this with Melaleuca and it worked great! ...»

You can also use essential oil to remove the sour smell from clothes too!

It is only $.10 per drop so a great way to save money too! No chemicals and works well!

    Well, when I made mine I began with a huge broken pot and built it up to a point where I could ...»
    add some large pieces of bark off of slices from a downed tree. I used those to brace it so that I could add more soil. I continued up to a higher point and added another larger piece of bark and continued to add more soil. They I added the smaller pots always leaving a space around each addition to be able to plant in.

    Some folks are finding it better to put a dowel or rod of some sort down the middle to keep things in alignment but I prefer to let things move the way they want to.

    street it is on but it is a side street just off of the main street. Philomath isn't that big so if you are ever in that area someone would know. I wish I could say that the cute little sitting area is mine but it is just an idea to make one. I have collected all I need except the labor to dig four post holes for the four by fours. Others say that anchors won't hold with the winds we get here.
