Recently all my clothes have started stinking, but AFTER washing - before the mockery starts. T-shirt I'm wearing today honks of musty staleness and I've been wearing it for only about 2 hours now. (and the wearer without said t-shirt is not smelling). It didn't smell when I took it out the drawer this morning. Equally it didn't have an amazing fresh smell that clean laundry usually has. But the honk coming of it now is quite annoying, particularly as I'm at work and can't change it for another.
T-shirt is freshly washed, taken out the machine reasonably promptly and air dried. Machine is the same one the flat had when we moved in a year and a bit ago. It was fine back then. Problem only started a month or two ago.
The other thing I've noticed is that clothes don't feel quite as wet as they used to when we take them out the machine.
Any suggestions about what could be causing the problem, and what I should check for? I'm inclined to check the inlet hoses when I get home to make sure they're not kinked or something. Could it be a blocked filter or the like somewhere in the machine? Are there any washing machine gurus out there? Would a lack of water cause said problem?
It's all very confusing. No amount of extra powder/different powder/washing time etc seems to help. If anything too much powder makes the clothes feel a bit icky, like it's not all washed off. However the machine is not spitting out warnings or faults suggesting it is lacking water feed. I'm really quite perplexed.
