Hi, We are on our town's water supply. I've noticed a smell in my clothes when I wash them (smells like when you leave them in the washing machine for too long ... almost musty smelling - but I can smell the "smell" as soon as they are done being washed). We moved to our current house 4 years ago (we lived in the same town prior to that and had no water "smell" problems) and right from the start I could notice a smell in my dishclothes, towels etc. especially when they got wet. Other clothes just don't have a fresh laundered smell unless i use a ton of fabric softener. We did have a water softener hooked up so we disconnected it to see if it was the softener's problem but it didn't help. They changed an annode? in the water heater and it didn't help. Since then we changed from oil to gas so we have a new different water heater (and water softener isn't hooked up yet) but so far haven't noticed anything different. I even washed my clothes at my mom's house (which is her own well in the country) and clothes smelled great until I washed them in our water again. My washing machine was brand new when we moved so the only thing i haven't tried is getting a different washing machine in to see if that gets rid of the smell in case it is something with my machine. You can't smell the water in the shower or anything...it's just in the laundry. Now that I've rambled on do you think this could be water related?
Thanks,
Thanks,
