How do i remove transmission fluid smell/residue from my washing machine?

I had a bottle of transmission fluid in the boot of my car which leaked onto some clothes I had in the boot. I washed the clothes, but the smell and oil stain remained so i had to throw the clothes out. However, i later did another load of washing and now those clothes smell of the transmission fluid and i cannot get the smell and i presume some residue from my washing machine. I don%26#039;t want to do any more washing until i get the smell out. I have done several empty loads using lots of washing powder and fabric softeners but the smell still remains. By the way, please don%26#039;t say throw the machine out, because it is almost brand new. Thanks for any advice you have.

A cup of Pinesol in hot water wash. Follow with a cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle. The fluid will break down in the pinesol and the vinegar will freshen the smell of the pinesol.
Reply:Add Clorox %26amp; hot water %26amp; let your washer run through the longest wash cycle.

Reply:Some newer washing machines, especially front loaders, don%26#039;t drain all the way. If you can turn the barrel and still hear water sloshing around, that%26#039;s why the oil is hanging around. You can fix this by following the directions here: http://www.ocregister.com/column/water-w...


If that fails, call the service line of the company that sold your machine or the company that makes it (as applicable) and see what they say.
Reply:Go to your local Sam%26#039;s Club and buy some %26quot;ODABAND%26quot;. This is a wonderful product. You can use it in your laundry, your and for cleaning your home. It gets rid of odors and germs.





Check it out. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Reply:I heard it%26#039;s dangerous to wash and dry clothes with transmission fluid on them, heat...oil...fire.





Anyway...use WHITE vinegar...natures deodorizer and degreaser. Use HOT water





Use two cups in an empty load, then two more cups in the rinse cycle and see what happens...you might end up running it a few more times





By the way, you can add a cup of vinegar to your rinse water and it will take that smell right out of the clothes, but only after the tub itself is free of residue. Oh, and your clothes wont s,ell like vinegar...and your jeans will be super soft. It works really well I use it on my jeans and really smelly stuff like hockey equipment and team jerseys...fresh as a flower!!





Good luck!!
Reply:Dump a box of baking soda into the largest size load, empty of clothes, of course, hot water. If that doesn%26#039;t work, vinegar is next. After that, you may have to bite the bullet and buy Dr. Bronner%26#039;s. You can find it at drugstore.com and it takes out any stain and also removes odors such as cat urine. It%26#039;s only around eight bucks for a 16-oz. bottle, which will generally go a long way because you mix it with water. The bottle%26#039;s freaky, but the product is amazing. It got black shoe polish out of a beige wool rug, cat urine out of a towel, and it%26#039;s all natural, made from hemp.
Reply:Maybe try hot water and bleach.
Reply:throw in bleach with a hot water wash. (do not put clothes in!)
