I opened the basement windows and worked vigorously with a mop and scrub brush! It's cleaner but need painting. Before painting in our other houses we always washed the walls down with T.S.P.

For years he gave out his cleaning formula. Now he markets it. It's TSP and a couple of other simple things. Unfortunately I can't find the recipe any more. It's available in Home Hardware, Cloverdale Paint, and most similar stores. In can also be used in your whites wash. He says it will kill the algae that builds up in our front loader and causes odours. If it really works, it would be worth it since the special cleaner you buy costs lots. Shorty .... Do you keep the door ajar on your front end loader after using it? A few years back the smell in ours was horrible and after we got it cleaned out, we have never shut the door again - except when in use of course. We have never had an odour again. Take care, Pat Yes, I keep the door open as well as the compartment that holds the laundry detergent. Never use fabric softener. Slowly the algae or mould starts to build and I wipe it down. I clean the machine out with bleach every so often. That washing machine stuff is ridiculously expensive, IMO. If Shell's formula is a reasonable cost, I may buy some. I've been looking for something cost effective.
