Is it possible to leave wet laundry in the washing machine: what housewives do not realize
Never put off the process of hanging out your washed laundry.
If you don’t have time to do it yourself, then ask one of your relatives to remove the wet laundry from the washing machine.
The main thing is not to leave washed items in the drum for a long time. And here's why.
Why You Shouldn't Leave Wet Clothes in the Washing Machine
Sometimes there is neither time nor energy to hang up wet clothes after washing. As a result, things continue to remain in the drum of the machine, waiting for their time. And many housewives believe that there is no need to sound the alarm.
The danger is that fungi and harmful bacteria can hide behind the rubber seals. They begin to actively multiply if wet items left in the machine remain there for more than 2-3 hours.
During this time, the clothes will become saturated with a specific rotten smell that is difficult to get rid of.
The cause of this smell will be the closed space of the washing machine drum and the same harmful bacteria.
Drying stinking clothes in the open air will not solve the problem. You will have to wash the clothes again at a temperature of at least 60 degrees, using washing powder and scented conditioner.
In addition, leaving things in the machine for a long time will lead to stains, the clothes may simply get ruined, and no amount of washing will help solve the problem.
This applies not only to washed clothes that have been left in the drum of the machine for too long, but also to clothes that have been wet by rain. If you throw them in the drum of the machine and close the door tightly, then such clothes may quickly acquire an unpleasant smell.
