Washed clothes left in the machine: possible consequences

High humidity is an ideal environment for the growth of dangerous microorganisms and fungi.

They often appear in the drum of the washing machine.

If you leave things there for a long time, the risk of bacteria and mold appearing on the items themselves will be maximum.

As a result, the owner and her family members will be wearing clothes that pose a serious danger to their health.

In addition, the proliferation of bacteria contributes to the appearance of a stench. It will be quite difficult to restore the freshness of things: additional washing will be required (possibly more than one).

Therefore, try to take out washed items from the machine in time. Do not forget wet clothes in the drum of the washing machine.
