A modern washing machine is a reliable assistant for housewives, which greatly simplifies the procedure of removing dirt and stains from things.

However, even such a unit is capable of presenting unexpected surprises.

It happens that after washing, things turn out to be even dirtier than before you threw them into the washing machine.

A problem may arise when things smell bad after washing.

There are several possible scenarios why laundry emits an unpleasant odor after washing.

The problem may arise if water stagnates in the washing machine tank or the dosage of powder is incorrect.

How to solve the problem of unpleasant odor

After washing, clothes will smell bad if water residues remain in the drum or detergents are not washed out and settle on the walls of the drum, which can affect the spread of bacteria to other parts of the device.

These two most obvious reasons lead to the fact that the laundry has an unpleasant smell after washing.

In addition, things may smell rotten when using a new machine if the installation rules for the parts are violated.

Washing powder can be a source of unwanted odor. If you skimp on the powder or use too much of it in a dosage that exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations, the quality of the wash will be significantly reduced and will contribute to the appearance of the odor.
