Guys help me!! Oil smell and washing machine!

[Aquaheat]

Hope someone can give a bit of advice.

Serviced an oil boiler and went to wash the dust sheet and cloth I used to mop up bits and now the washing machine is stinking of oil! Missus is going mental.

Have ran it through 3 cycles now with detergent, softner and vanish. Been on 40/60/90 degree and its still the bloody same.

Am i going to have to buy her a new washing machine on Valentines day!!??

More useful than a card and chocolates. Downside is no jiggy jiggy for 12 months.

Concentrated bio powder / solution, and hottest wash possible!
Been down that road, keep your head down for a couple of days

Have just thrown in two tubs of bicarb at 90 degrees. I think i may have an expensive V day.

On the plus side the oil boiler is now working perfectly. Not sure she appreciated that!

If i disappear off of here for any noticeable time could one of you call the police!! LOL

I've found washing soda crystals work well with things like this! Tesco sell a small bag cheap. Good for removing general washing machine odours too.

Next time go to the launderette. Then all the local scrotes will smell of it instead.
Or try running a couple of bags of curry powder through it.

I collect old sheets and towels for oily jobs. Use them and chuck them.
They also make good firelighters.
Be thankful it was not Red Diesel,

I love the smell of 28 second kerosene when pulling my wife's drawers off with my teeth. The taste is not pleasant though. Nor the Kerosene.
