Smelly Washer

Americans hate stinky things, and seek relief from bad odors in the most unlikely products. I've brought Poo-Pourri to your attention, and Alex has reminded us of Odo-Ro-No. And now we have Smelly Washer, which, according to this article, is selling like beer at Oktoberfest.

I can attest to this problem. My parent's Neptune washer has a ring of black on the inside, gross! I've never noticed a problem washing clothes though. interesting that I was told it was a design flaw but this guy is saying it's a problem with too much detergent.

I did that with mine and didn't have a problem, but my parents didn't and once that black stuff is on there is doesn't come off.
