Walks through Las Cruses evergreen tree farms are more than just festive. They also leave clothes smelling like pine. It’s a lovely scent to be sure and many swear by its aromatherapy properties. They say it lowers a person’s stress levels and we can all use a little help in that department right now. So you may be tempted to add pine scents to your washer or dryer. Just remember that adding the wrong pine scented products to loads of laundry could result in a call for washer repair. Here’s why:
Pure pine oil has a neutral pH level, which is a good thing. However, manufacturers often combine it with carrier oils, alcohol, artificial colorings and other additives that could damage a washer’s interior as well as the laundry. Also, the damage wrought by the additives might not be readily apparent at first. This is particularly common when the additives have the ability to slowly degrade rubber gaskets and other parts.
The good news is there are pine scented products that are safe to use in some of today’s washing machines. Pine-Sol is one of them. It has the ability to infuse the laundry with the smell of pine as well as help clean fabrics and the washer’s interior too. However, it is of the essence to follow the instructions on the bottle and read your washer’s manual first.
If the wrong, pine scented products end up marring laundry appliance interiors, don’t panic. Simply stop using the product and call our washer repair professionals to come take a look. It may be possible to reverse pine product related damage, thereby salvaging the washer from the local scrap heap.
