Charlie: Judith from Spring Branch. She must have heard you thrown some smackdown on front-load washers because she says-”
Tom: It’s stinky.
Charlie: There it is. She says “Too many people, like Tom, give front-load washers a bad rap. I love my 15-year old front loader. It’s-”
Tom: Good for her!
Charlie: It’s been moved 3 times from far flung sites states.” She says, “I’ve never had garbage in the seal. It’s never smelled.”
Tom: She’s like a nomad.
Charlie: “It’s never required a service call.”
Tom: Yay.
Charlie: She thinks it gets clothes cleaner, Tom. She says-
Tom: How can it get clothes cleaner? Uses less water.
Charlie: Ok, You talk about the carpet cleaners how the soap that they use and the all the stuff they put on the carpet. Okay. Steam is using less water and stuff on it.
Tom: Does she have a steam?
Charlie: She’s using less … Yes, it’s a steam front-load washer.
Tom: Steam front …… Oh! I didn’t know that! Of course, they’re perfect.
Charlie: It’s a steampunk laundry room. Yes. No. Seriously. She says, “I use cold water almost always. A simple secret, Tom.”
Tom: So do I.
Charlie: Here it is. Here’s our home improvement tip for the day, boys and girls. Write it down. Get out your Tom Tynan notebook and write it down. The simple secret to no smell is to leave the door slightly open when not in use.
Tom: She obviously doesn’t have a cat.
Charlie: I was going to say, “Check for a cat before loading.”
Tom: My cat went in mine once when it was opened and it left something.
Charlie: And the problem is what?
Tom: Close the door.
