Mold smell, washed clothes and washed overflowed. I cleaned all water up, but when i woke up it stunk.?

Title say it. After i woke it stunk, what do i need to do? i cleaned all the water i could up last night. Still damp, i put a fan on it.Mold smell, washed clothes and washed overflowed. I cleaned all water up, but when i woke up it stunk.?
make a solution of water and bleach. 1 part bleach to 10 parts water and spray it then clean it up again. The bleach will kill the mold and make the smell go away.Mold smell, washed clothes and washed overflowed. I cleaned all water up, but when i woke up it stunk.?
There must be some hidden molds somewhere and thus the musty smell. Search around if you have moisture problem or if there is any leakage that contribute to the high humidity level.





To eliminate the smell, you need to first remove the source, i.e. the molds. Keep the area as dry as possible with the use of dehumidifier and provide good air ventilation that allows fresh air to circulate.





BTW, vinegar is a better cleaner as compared to bleach as vinegar does not produce harmful fumes and it is edible. So you don't really have to worry about using it for household cleaning.





Hope this helps.
Sweetieface has it right about the bleach. But be sure to keep lots of fresh air in the area until the smell of the chlorine goes away. There is a good chance that you have traces of cleaning solutions left on the floor since you last cleaned it. Dangerous fumes can result from mixing chlorine and even a little bit of other chemicals.
