I hate my piece-of-shit washing machine. It's a cheap efficiency model, so it doesn't use enough water to adequately clean my clothes unless I have literally two items (a shirt and a pair of pants) plus maybe a pair of socks in there. And even then, I have to soak my clothes in a pre-wash solution at least once every month before washing or else they'll still come out smelling weird after a couple of weeks (of regular wearing AND washing). I'm at a point where I'm ready to purchase a new washing machine, but I really don't know what to do with the old one since it belongs to the landlord, so I feel like I'm stuck with it. It really, really ****** pisses me off.

I didn't know what to do, so I bought this de-odor type spray, that is meant to destroy what is causing the smell, but it works for a bit, but not all day :\Just curious, what pre-wash stuff do you use? I might need to look into doing that myself.Adulting is hard, I tell you Hwhat :oProbably not going to replace the washing machine, as I've already had to replace a bed and refrigerator out of my own pocket. :\
They pulled Oxiclean? Man, that's an insult to the late, great Billy Mays. Shame on them.
Are your clothes drying properly? That could be causing them to smell. It's quite difficut to dry them properly during these humid months.

That is not enough to rinse all the laundry detergent out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gYXdfg9TFgCheck the video. The pressure switch might be in a different spot in your device but once you see it in the video you will recognize it for sure. It take about 3 minutes and all you need is a screwdriver.

I let my clothes soak in there all day while I'm at work, and then stick them into the wash as soon as I get home. Korea used to sell the brand Oxyclean, but stores pulled it to sell a Korean version of it instead, which works fine. The one I buy comes in a pink plastic tub, can't think of what it's called atm, though. I'll look at it when I get home. To avoid the moldy smell, I also treat my washing machine with a mold-killing cleaning solution that's specifically meant to kill the mold that grow in the drums here. Do that at least once a month, too, during the hot and warm seasons.
English room at 8:40AM. I'm the only person who's been using this room for the past 3yrs.I'm chilling, the lights are off, a gentle morning sun is lighting up the room and I'm listening to the birds.A young woman (early to mid 20s) smashes the door open like she's 5-0, notices me and gets startled. I get a damn shock, but it's ok, she probably thought nobody was in the class as the lights are off. Without saying a word, she takes the liberty of switching on every light. I ask her not to do it and she complies. Again, not saying a word of greeting or introduction, she marches to the box of English materials and rummages through it.I was completely discombobulated and couldn't respond to the shock of this rudeness.I ask, in English, if she needs any help. She gives a curt no and before I can ask her who the hell she is, her phone rings and she answers it. She continues her conversation as she walks out the class leaving the door wide open. I later discover that she's the substitute English teacher (my CT is absent till November). She arrives 10min late to our first class, sits on her phone throughout the lesson and is already out the door and down the stairs before the bell can finish ringing.Between classes, I caught her in the corridor. I try to express my annoyance in as polite a way as possible and ask that she introduce herself and greet before barging into the English room. She gives me one of those sarcastic 예s, the same ones you'd expect from an obnoxious middle-schooler and walks off.What a rude little brat.
i wonder what goes through some people's heads. who's got time for such passive-aggressive pettiness?

Also, raise the chair to an uncomfortable level, and randomly lock one of the desk drawers.
Waygook.org user #basedcowboyshirt's laundry tips:- If you have the option, keep the lid or door of your laundry machine open. This also dramatically reduces the chance of getting moldy funk growing in there. - Throw a bit of baking soda in each wash to help eliminated odours. - For a boost in cleaning, use some washing soda. It's called 과탄산 소다 and it's amazing, but don't use it every wash, or on super delicate stuff, cause it can make your clothes fade a little more quickly.- You can also toss a bit of citric acid (구연산) in your wash to kill bacteria and also brighten your clothes and give a boost to cleaning any oil-based dirt that might be in your clothes.

The lack of adequate water from my machine is probably the reason why most of the above isn't enough.
Which is why I refuse to lower myself and try to sabotage her or make her life miserable, I'm at the school to teach to the best of my ability and even if I can get away with just playing movies all day or having little schoolyard spats with a 22yr old, I'll do my best to be professional.
