Well, vinegar itself has a sour smell. :p Its probably picking up the smell again in the dryer, since you're blowing the air inside the house through it. Plus the lint trap probably has years of ferret oil in it.

No, I read alot about vinegar.
It's great for washing clothes and removing odors. When it dries, it leave no smell, but kills all bacteria.

Yes, but read my comment about the dryer itself.

How much would it run to have professionals come and clean the entire house? It's probably about 2500sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath.

About $400, but that's for standard cleaning. You need all your walls scrubbed as well.

Have you tried discussing the matter with them?

No. I don't want to be outright rude. But my God, they have to know. There is no way they cant.

Because they are lazy and old.
Its a very nice house. It's very big and on a good piece of land, but you would cringe if you walked in. It's disgusting.
Their pets crap on the carpet, and they leave it.


Well that would be a major reason for the smell!

I'm just going to wash my clothes at the laundrymat and keep them in my car trunk. That's all I can do. I don't have the time or the means to wipe their mouths for them.

No, there is also a mold problem. It's so sour. The smell. I cannot think of any way to describe the smell other than sour. It smells like mold/urine/sweat mixed together. All over everything.
