I also make sure to leave the door open after use for quite a while, and my washer sits across from the a/c in the living room, so I frequently use the a/c on air or vent to ventilate this area after use.den246nhttp://openid.aol.com/den246nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349948438771019643.post-85532795129614706302009-10-22T19:32:37.320-04:002009-10-22T19:32:37.320-04:00Hey Brad you&#39;re doing good work here. Very helpful information. I am also looking for a front load washer. I&#39;ve found a pretty good website out there that has some good <a href="http://frontloadwasherreviews.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">front load washer reviews</a> that might be useful to you and your readers.GashKerwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06160540749024022413noreply@blogger.com
