Hi all,

in the interest of domestic harmony, I obtained a new(er) washing
machine today - coworker's dryer died, and she's one of those types that
likes stuff to match, so when she mentioned that the washer worked fine
and she just wanted to get rid of it, I offered to take it off her
hands. I guess my old washer was kind of old; almond paint and
woodgrain haven't been in vogue for a couple decades

Anyway, the new washer is fine after a quick leveling and wipedown, but
I didn't realize until I picked it up that aforementioned coworker had
dogs. There is a vague doggy odor in the tub; I ASSume that this is
because at some point in the near past some dog bedding or something
that the dogs slept on was run through it and it's become intermixed
with the guck that inevitably builds up on the outer tub. I don't
really care, so long as my clothes come out clean, but SWMBO might have
issues with it as she actually is allergic to most critters with fur.
So... are there any shortcuts to cleaning the outer tub, or am I going
to have to tear this puppy down? (please say no.) It's a typical
Whirlpool top loader deal.

thanks

nate
