My Dryer Smells Like Cod Liver Oil

Allow me to explain.

I give my kids cod liver oil. More specifically, Nordic Naturals lemon flavored cod liver oil. My two year old daughter loves the stuff. She calls it “My Menace”. That’s Sadie speak for “My Medicine”.

Often, I find that she has removed the bottle of cod liver oil from the fridge and taken a swig. Other times she’s poured herself a serving into a cup.

Apparently, the other day she poured a whole bunch of it into a cup, plopped a straw into the glass and gave it to her sister. Only, she had spilled a little bit onto the counter or floor or something, and wiped it up with a towel, which made its way to the laundry room hamper. Which of course ended up in a load of laundry.

The thing is, I don’t usually use the dryer. But for a week after my foot surgery, I was taking it a bit easy on myself and using the dryer. I was punished for this you see.

You can’t smell the cod liver oil on the fabric after it’s been washed - only after the heat of the dryer has brought out the was odor. So I blissfully tossed the clean, cod liver oil towel into the dryer, blissfully unawares that it would make the entire load, as well as the dryer, reek.

Here’s a little tip, from me to you. If you spill your cod liver oil, wipe it up with paper towels. :-)

I cleaned the inside of the dryer with vinegar, which helped tremendously. Just so you know.
