Here's me setting up to finally get to some laundry that has been sat sitting plastic wrapped in the fridge for perhaps a week or so. Did the pillow slips on the mangle, then went for the sheets and duvet cover to be done on the ironing table. To my horror there were these strange pink sploches everywhere. Now am totally done as these were new linens and wasn't looking forward to chucking them into the bin, sooooo it was time to do what a "Launderess" has got to do. Turn to the Miele. Chucked the lot into the Miele, added some "Dry Clorox for Whites" (and oxygen based bleach), and set temperature for 180F. About one hour later, everything came out brilliant white, with not a trace of the pink stains. The uber hot water gave the unit a nice cleaning out as well, so am that much thrilled. Nothing like 180F water going through the pump and drain hose to clear out any bio film. More the better that this water was "oxygen" powered! *LOL* | ||

Evidently those red cooties were either deposited by the washer when you laundered those items the first time----or even worse----in the plastic wrap. Not much incentive to use the plastic wrap on food items! | ||

Don't think so, as other items in the same bag did not have the pink stains, and they all were laundered in the same wash cycle. Indeed nothing laundered before nor after have developed such stains. Also take great exception to your inference that my washing machine is some how infected. As for what the stains could be, it is entirely possible something dripped down onto the laundry. Before chucking the bag, noticed it has several tears/holes, so anything from red wine to watermelon could have been the culprit as well. There is a type of mould which is pink, but mould stains rarely sink through to both sides of a fabric, as these stains were. L. | ||

Did not make comment with malicious intent. Would be most unusual for our machines to be steril. | ||
