At work, we don't have any laundering facilities, and nobody would ever volunteer to take home some laundry! I also use this technique periodically at home instead of accumulating a smelly washload!

Step 6 of 6

When the cycle is complete, the cloth is clean. It will have to be air dried, but at least it doesn't smell anymore!

I also throw sponges and the sink strainers in the dishwasher each time I run it. Helps to keep the yucky goo off of them.

Brown, I'm quite happy with this one. I have a stainless Maytag as well and the $ differential was roughly $200. The Miele is almost silent in comparison and has more interior space with the cutlery tray :)
