Laundry can smell even after being washed for several reasons. Here are the most common causes:
- Moisture and Mold Build-up in the Washing Machine
Residue in the Drum: Detergent, fabric softener, and dirt can accumulate in the drum and rubber seals, providing a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
Poor Airflow: Leaving the washing machine closed when not in use traps moisture, encouraging odors.
- Overloading the Washer
Overloading prevents proper rinsing, leaving detergent and dirt residue behind, which can cause smells.
- Using Too Much Detergent
Excess detergent doesn’t rinse out completely, creating residue that leads to unpleasant odors.
- Dirty Filters or Drains
Clogged filters or drains can cause water to stagnate, producing a foul smell that transfers to laundry.
