my t shirts smell like feet when i sweat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you dry it? For some stupid reason we're not allowed to hang our clothes outside, so we hang it inside and it takes ages to dry and the clothes get all stinky. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont dry them in the sun because it takes away the color. i dry them in the bathroom that sometimes smell of piss (its a shared bathroom). could be that? sometimes i take the clothes out and they smell already |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a little off topic but earlier I was going up an escalator and the guy above me farted in my face. Speaking of bad smells. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the smell they do sometimes its annoying, makes you really feel shit when theres other people around |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you're infusing your shirt with bathroom smells. molecules sticking to the water. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll dry them in my room then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
your avatar is very cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i generally dry my clothes in a clothes dryer, have those not made their way over to europe yet? would explain some rumours i've heard |
||||||||

If your clothes don't try quick enough, a terrible damp smell arises. Especially if put in the cupboard not 100% dry. |
||||||||

It's the "Innsmouth smell". Congratulations, you shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned Y’ha-nthlei, and in that lair of the Deep Ones you shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever. |

yah, had that aswell... heres some tips: 1. always leave your machine open after washing (to prevent mold and smells, make sure theres no cats around and close doors/windows) 2. get washingmachine cleaner tabs (sometimes your machine is old and smelly) 3. check your machine gums for greasy gooey nasty (sometimes it gets stuck inside the door gums) 4. get a detergent that kills bacteria (especially for your clothes that already took on smell) 5. as you figured out, dry em fast maybe go to a public parlour once and use anti bacterial detergent, 60 degrees on all clothes that dont shrink and a dry cleaner afterwards to get rid of the smell, for a first time. They usuall have large machines which take all your clothes at once (all those that are fit for the same setting that is) Once your clothes took on nasties it sometimes isnt worth keeping them. And when buying clothes keep in mind plastic fibres dry faster, but they take on smells more quickly and once they have a bad stench, you may never get it out again ever. hope this works out for you as well as it has for me, mo! i happily dry my clothes on the attic. in summertime its so hot that by the time youre finished putting up the clothes, you can already start picking them up again, they dry that fast!! cheers & enjoy summer .-) |

thanks for the advices mate, i'll see what i can do. i know what you mean, some clothes just smell forever, i hope my t shirts are in the category of those that don't! i just bought them, at the beginning of this summer. they were cheap, 5 euros each but i hope they can do until the end of the summer at least |

who knew coming on here i would be presented with such quality information! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
thx, my old self found out the hard way and gladly passes on the info. however, still waiting for pics of ppl humping their rumbling machines.. |
||||||||

|
|
^ id send you one but mine isnt a sexy toploader, it just a drab front loading stylee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aaah these toploaders... i hear when you fill in too much detergent, they will flow over in a white and gushy manner, like big old faithful. but that is just another fetish.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's just got to do with dampness. I feel I'm not only being ignored, but have to repeat myself. Nothing to do with detergent, but humidity. Yawn. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was you machine empty at 90 degrees with a big cup off vinegar. I'm deadly serious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gf is always using soda crystals for everything and vinegar, stick em down the sink and stuff, stick em down the drain and down the toilet, stick em in your coffee cups, probably sticks em in my food for all i know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its summer, they dry super quickly comparing to the winter. i will try with the vinegar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the machine is going. the only vinegar i found expired in 2013, i hope it doesn't mess things up |
||||||||

jesus christ, no wonder there's so much unrest over there as of late. get with the program. get one of them LG shits that plays happy melodies and molecularly teleports your wet clothes over to the dryer automagically. tempers will be better after not fighting through a bedroom jungle of odor jerseys. hell, jerseys won't even odor. as much. better moods, smelling better... next, we'll work on bathing reguarly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's one of those little things that shouldn't blow my mind, but does... like, seriously? you don't have dryers over there? i can't even remember i saw one without the other. every time i've been in europe i did dry cleaners or laundry service... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was dead certain about that aswell, russel and it appears to be a major factor, however theres more to it than that and other variables mustnt be ignored my gf for example never lets it dry fast, she often picks it up hours later. Clothes take all day or longer to dry in her bathroom. sometimes even has to wait until the first half of the load is done til she can dry the rest. however her clothes barely ever seem to catch any stench. She is careful about bacteria so she always washes underwear and syntheitc sportswear at 60° and sometimes uses special detergent. so i guess clever seperations and washing at higher temperatures, aswell as antibacterial det do have an impact. Aswell as grimey machines. Taking care of that helped me, when my clothes smelled. i just wanted to add this to the equation, the damp factor still is huge imo and you have been heard .-) |

i seriously enjoyed dry cleaners during my stay in portsmouth, however i hear its bad for colors and fabric. dunno if thats true, but along with the initial cost of the machine it kept me from buying one of those. and then we all know why melmac exploded, dont we? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who or what is melmac? ...and, no, i mean dryers, not dry cleaners. school trips you'd send your laundry off in a sack and it'd go off somewhere and come back. business trips i'd take my shit to some local place and keep the recipt so i could expense it later. never lived the athlete foot life and backpacked; never stuck around long enough to rent a flat and find a coin-op. when i visited paris, i remember what i wanted most was photos of the eiffel tower from underneath. that's never in the brouchures. then my camera went missing; probably stolen. it was a crap cheap film camera and i was more mad about the loss of my eiffel underbelly photo shoot than the loss of the camera itself. but then i bought a laser pointer for five francs off one of the black guys hanging about sun king's castle and successfully told a pickpocket to fuck off on the subway and felt a bit more alright about france. |

oh, yes, i also saw saint michael's mont, and it was just like the aphex track -- quite good. some of my classmates ordered a beverage with their crepes not knowing it was alcoholic, and the french promptly served up the surprise booze. it wasn't anything strong, but one of the partakers was a 4ft hyperactive gal and i could tell she really, really enjoyed saint michael's mont. i was jealous. super mad i'd passed up on surprise booze crepes, because i thought they were just crepes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come to think of it, calling saint michael's mont ~quite good~ would probably piss off the french as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhm, yes wrong word. you know what i meant .-) passing up on surprise booze crepes can ruin it all... made my 1st suzettes earlier this year without firing them up. they were exquisite. Rembering the crab soup i ate in marazion, before visiting mt. st. michel. It kept me from hunger during that day. I was able to take a lot of pictures of that stunning site all the while being pursued by some german family who probably had no clue i was chuckling over their babbles. At first they kind of annoyed me, like, what the hell are they doing here on my castle? But when they took photos of themselves, i asked them to take one of me on one of the tower aswell. Qickly rushing onto the last boat going back to marazion, i had no clue of what abysmal odissey i was about to begin traveling back to crantock by public bus service. The jolly two surfdudes which gave me a ride south, had taken off to catch some waves instead of climbing boring castles. so it took me about four buses in five hours in total to arrive past midnight at the camp site. Each bus or stop with another little anecdote to enrich the story, like the asian girl in bus number one, who didnt look at me until i took out my camera, which immedeately brought me her attention and a nice conversation, or the old man on the bus stop who told me everything about the route he always took to visit a sick friend in the hospital, the beautyful church on the last stop, when i was finally able to buy some apples. I hadnt had the time to shop and it was my second day abroad so i gladly ate one. not to forget the last bus driver who didnt halt on my stop, so i had to keep him company for another round. |

i really have no idea what melmac is, or what it was supposed to be. sort of like croissants before i visited france. always hated them, until i realized every croissant i'd ever had was shit. the hotels served up croissants for breakfast that were amazing. even the bad ones. then i got back to the usa and i haven't had a croissant since. the ones stuffed with chocolate nut paste donut count; don't be nuts i have old skool analog photos of france in a storage bin somewhere. that shit is worse than a pink floyd box set.... i should scan it before they fade off or crust up. wait, do i really give a shit? well, here is my huge list of other bullshit i bother myself about, this is roughly item number #1067 |

melmac was the home planet to an alien lifeform (alf) whose planet exploded because all its inhabitants coincidently ran their dryers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a distant memory of actually watching alf once or twice, but it's not really enough for that level of dialogue, i'm afraid. to make matters worse, i saw a few years back and it overwrote the little information i had left about alf, like a meme fisting. now when i think of alf i think of that ladder loop, then my brain wanders off into . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that clip couldve been titled as a david lynch guest director episode :)im pretty sure alf tried to kill willi from the very beginning in order to take his role as the alpha male. this may be one of his most ambitious attempts. i loved alf to an insane amount as a kid, i couldnt watch it over again if my life depended on it. its a horrible show. dunno if the original was any different to the dubbed german though. however my brain is still filled with useless information about it to this day. |

the end to Dinosaurs (TV Series) was fucking unreal. i saw it as it aired, and it was like... what. wait, what? i can't believe they're doing this. then, later, what did i just watch, etc. did that actually mean what it appears to mean or have i horribly misinterpreted somehow? i was pretty young and it'd be a decade before i even got drunk, but in retrospect it tripped me out hardcore. but it's like 4'33... it blew our minds, but once it had, it'd then been done, and any attempt to do it again would come across as recycled turd. god bless whoever wrote that show for absolutely smashing the expectations i had for a sitcom show about dinosaurs on a children's tv channel. |

I usually wash at 60, and if I dabble below, I'm usually ok. Not saying you should dry it as fast as possible. Just mentioning after a while if it's not totally dry and is stacked among other stuff in a cupboard, 'gonvian', 'as I call it, sets in. It can spread, it's fast, it has three legs. Can smell sort of like like eggs: gonvian. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a dryer with the settings cupboard dry, and extra dry and other settings, i thought it was sort of a binary concept, either something is dry or its not, i was clearly mistaken |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My building has a drier. But clearly, depending on the load, fabrics type and depths, and for how long you put them on for, and on what settings, you can Zzzzzzzzz |
