Could it be the machine Michaels? Is that washing cleanly? Do you put that through a hot wash regularly? If your sheets and towels are white and pure cotton then they can be washed higher than sixty IMO, but not if they are not possibly.

But tbh, if the machine is clean then sixty should be sufficient. I'd try a hot wash in the machine with other things ( I was my cleaning stuff on a v. Hot wash .....for this machine clean.....a too often hot wash is bad for off mains systems).

The only other thing might be , did it go through a wash with fleece stuff with fabric conditioner in? Fleece and fabric conditioner together can honk.

Sprinkling bicarb of soda over them, leaving them for a while and then washing with white vinegar instead of conditioner is Mrs Generali's suggestion. She's very good at this stuff.

Yes, I sometimes use vinegar in a cleaning wash, in the fabric conditioner bit of the drawer. I don't know if it makes a difference but it feels like it should

Missed out the bit they smell frowzy because they have been in storage for 5 years ie imho we don't need them but dw disagrees. They have some colour and or poly in them so hotter than 60 is not an option. Wi'' try soda crystals and vinegar.

On the train to York for my first gay wedding. Should be nice. I've got a table for this journey so it has made up for the last one.

Also I'm 26 tomorrow ( :eek: ) so seeing family in York for that too.

How many times do you expect to get married? Or am I picking up the wrong end of the stick? Congratulations, if I am not.

You definitely are

In hindsight I could have worded that better.

Thanks, though! Haha.

Enjoy!

Will delete: I attended (:)) my first gay wedding last year. Was lovely. Except, there was no dancing, just 'chill out' type music. A couple of us nearly went looking for somewhere to go afterwards because we had repressed urges to dance that needed venting. Then we realised it would be a much better idea to go back to the hotel and sleep instead.
Thats what happend when you get old!

Could you try hanging the towels outside in the wind and the UV from the sun? It might help.

I didn't grab a photo the other way. I just looked out, saw that and thought, wow, last spring, that was not there. . In the far low bed the other way we have lots of garlic. I won't be spending the money if wanted on rare herbs this year but I'm filling holes with salads and more common annual herbs we have loads of. . I think its going to look and smell fabulous anyway and I can collect the things I want over time with greater joy. . The further still hobbledihoy herb bed ( more non culinary herbs mainly) going to get its smart over haul this year either, but i can tell its going to be full between planted things of borage and chamomile nature has helped me out with. how cool is that, to have nature's help with a gardening endeavour for a while?
