I am in the Poo!! Help.

Booty · 25-01-09, 11:17 AM

Right, Ladies and Gents I need some serious help please. Strange request but anyway. I have inadvertently 'placed' one of my towels from the garage into the washing pile. It's gone through the wash and coated Flossies 1 year old washing machines drum with oil. I did not know there was any on the towel t.b.h. but there was. It has coated the three plastic arms that sit around the drum ( if your looking into it they run from front to back). To touch the arms they fell 'sticky' and rough. So far I have done the following.

1, 95 degree wash with washing gel......nothing oil still evident.
2, 2 x dishwasher tablets at 95 degrees.........nowt again still there.
3, scrubbed the arms but it seems the oil has 'sunken into the plastic'

Any ideas.....please help my life depends on this.

might sound silly but have you tryed carb cleaner for the oil and just run it after to swill it out

have you tried Persil? that gets it clean

take Floosie out for lunch and buy a new washing machine....of her choice.

Oxy Powder gets everything out. Get the one in the pink pot. Best cleaning stuff know to man!!!

i'd be wary of using carb cleaner etc for the washing machine seals...

Vanish and a sponge may work rich and just get it all scrubbed off then put a hot wash on with nothing in

WD40 might be worth a test with too...
