Today, I bought some expensive fabric softener since I'm not too keen on my detergent's smell. Only after washing two weeks worth of laundry did I discover that mixed together they realistically mimic the smell of fresh puke. FML

Why didn't you just ditch the nasty smelling detergent?

So you thought you'd mask the scent of something you don't like with something else? Are you the same guy who hangs 17 pine tree deodorants from your rear-view mirror to cover up the scent of the dead body in your trunk?

Coz those were limited edition platinum detergents and OP wanted to use it before the world's end.

Maybe the detergent was really good, it just smelled bad.

OP YDI for not just replacing your detergent and trying to mask up the bad smell. Bad decision in your part.

Note that OP bought fabric softener, I'm no laundry expert here but as a guess, you use detergent as well as softener. A posh softener probably smells quite nice but might not have the full cleansing prowess of the detergent, thus the need to mix.

Maybe it's cheap, and OP is on a budget.

Personal, I hate the smell of Gain. Especially, that mango/apple one. To me it smells of rotten fruit. **since the OP is masking smells, now is the time for her to Febreze her clean clothes. (:

Arm and hammer, no scent, no dye for sensitive skin is the way for me! There is no smells to over power your nose, no dye to irritate the skin!

36- what on earth are you talking about? I made no references here. 39- in your opinion. Or do you just base the quality of my comments by the way it is thumbed? Because I can tell you that I am commenting just as I used to, the variable is the thumbs attributed to my comments.

Well I commented on another FML that said the exact same comment. Sorry, honestly thought you put that as a reference.

That's cool I was my clothing with a mixture of methanol, corn meal, and goat piss.

Okay..why would you mix them if one has a bad smell, and how did it take you two weeks to realize that the combination of the two smells worse? This is unusual.

It didn't take two weeks, it was two weeks worth of laundry. But I agree, if one smells bad, you can't just cover it up.

It didn't take 2 weeks for her to notice. It was 2 weeks of dirty clothes that she decided to wash with the detergent & new fabric softener. She barely found out after washing the load.

Hang your clothes out to dry so they take on the smell of stale puke. Problem solved!

You idiot! Everybody knows that the scents shit and burp clash in laundry! Next time get Burned rubber scent with wet dog. It's just as good as Axe! (Results may vary)

Well nothing gets someone's attention like the smell of fresh puke in the morning... Or anytime of the day actually.

You're stuck rewashing now. Change detergent.
