Why is it that sometimes the crockery I have washed smells of ';wet dogs';? Glass and china seem worst affected

It seems to happen when I have been cooking eggs ( I always use teflon pans) and wonder if its anything to do with that? It's a really horrible smell and sometimes needs a soak in boiling water to get rid of it.Why is it that sometimes the crockery I have washed smells of ';wet dogs';?

No way should you blame the smell on eggs this has something to do with your water or your cloth or sponge you have used to wash your pots and pans and dishes, you can rid this problem by adding two to three tablespoons of White Vinegar to your dishwashing liquid, this will help to disinfect and help your dishwashing liquid last longer or you can simply follow these directions Clean china, crystal, and glassware





Put the sparkle back in your glassware by adding vinegar to your rinse water or dishwater.


To keep your everyday glassware gleaming, add 1/4 cup vinegar to your dishwasher's rinse cycle.








To rid drinking glasses of cloudiness or spots caused by hard water, heat up a pot of equal parts white vinegar and water (use full-strength vinegar if your glasses are very cloudy), and let them soak in it for 15-30 minutes. Give them a good scrubbing with a bottle brush, then rinse clean.








Add 2 tablespoons vinegar to your dishwater when cleaning your good crystal glasses. Then rinse them in a solution of 3 parts warm water to 1 part vinegar and allow them to air-dry. You can also wash delicate crystal and fine china by adding 1 cup vinegar to a basin of warm water. Gently dunk the glasses in the solution and let dry.








To get coffee stains and other discolorations off china dishes and teacups, try scrubbing them with equal parts vinegar and salt, followed by rinsing them under warm water








Or try this solution for your pots and pans Remove stains from pots, pans, and ovenware





Nothing will do a better job than vinegar when it comes to removing stubborn stains on your cookware. Here's how to put the power of vinegar to use:


Give those dark stains on your aluminum cookware (caused by cooking acidic foods) the heave-ho by mixing in 1 teaspoon white vinegar for every cup of water needed to cover the stains. Let it boil for a couple of minutes, then rinse with cold water.








To remove stains from your stainless steel pots and pans, soak them in 2 cups white vinegar for 30 minutes, then rinse them with hot, soapy water followed by a cold-water rinse.








To get cooked-on food stains off your glass ovenware, fill them with 1 part vinegar and 4 parts water, heat the mixture to a slow boil, and let it boil at a low level for five minutes. The stains should come off with some mild scrubbing once the mixture cools.








They call it nonstick, but no cookware is stainproof. For mineral stains on your nonstick cookware, rub the utensil with a cloth dipped in undiluted distilled vinegar. To loosen up stubborn stains, mix 2 tablespoons baking soda, 1/2 cup vinegar, and 1 cup water and let it boil for 10 minutes.








And I would like to suggest to you to try this on your cloth or sponge that you use for washing your dishes with pour a little White Vinegar on ;your sponge or cloth to clean and disinfect them after use no rinsing required it will clean and deodorize them and they will be free of bacteria Good Luck !Why is it that sometimes the crockery I have washed smells of ';wet dogs';?

Your Welcome and thank you for choosing my answer as best Report Abuse

PROBABLY something to do with the washing-up liquid that you use, and how it reacts to certain food stuff.
yeah?? i was wandering why wet dogs smell like pans used to boil eggs!!!
Cant beat mshonnies answer, shes smart!!!
I had a similar problem to this, and it took me ages to work out the problem. I have a rack to hold plates, cups, etc. where I put the washed items and let them drain. Over time some of the water that drained off pooled up on the draining board and became stagnent. So I gave the draing board a really good clean and now the smell has gone away completely.
Acting as a plumber, i'd proffer that it is the mains water. Your drains could be blocked, or the water is not as palatable as it should be. Contact the water board
I think what you are smelling is dust. often when crockery has been stored for a while without being used , there is a slight dust build up, which reacts to water and gives off a smell.
You are doing your washing up in MARSTON'S PEDIGREE











Seriously guys it's the sulphur............Marston's beer is made with water that has a high sulphur content and always smells like wet labrador to me ! The question should be :-Why do dogs smell so awful?
The answer is obvious. You are a lousy housekeeper. My dishes never have any odor. You have a filthy sponge, weak detergent and a grimey drainer.
