It's colors so I can't use bleach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302343 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:39:01 +0000 ShootingStar 2302343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably the gasket on the front that's retaining smells. I would take some clorox wipes and try to get it as clean as possible and get anything out that's still stuck in there. Then run a sanitation cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302290 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 13:04:25 +0000 mediagirl 2302290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gross. Sorry. We had poop in our washer before but it never got stuck in anything... Ew. I was going to suggest vinegar - it's a great smell remover. I don't know how front-loaders work, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302281 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:59:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2302281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! This is funny :silly: But I'm sorry about the stink! Def wipe where the turd was with vinegar too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302271 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:57:52 +0000 Tanjowen 2302271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dump in a cup of vinegar into the washer, add 1/2 cup of baking powder, add detergent and wash on hot. That is to take care of stinky towels - this situation may call for color safe bleach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302264 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:55:33 +0000 avivoca 2302264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BLEACH. I do a hot bleach cycle and let it sit for awhile (overnight if possible), but I have a top loader.</p> <p>I'm sorry. I've been there. It sucks and is one reason I'm glad we aren't doing cloth right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302254 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:49:36 +0000 winniebee 2302254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Just toss some into the front loader and run hot load? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302252 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:47:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2302252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baking soda and vinegar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poop-in-laundry#post-2302248 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 12:45:51 +0000 winniebee 2302248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A toddler turd made its way into the laundry without me knowing.
