It's not pleasant when the laundry doesn't smell nice, is it? You washed it, but now you would like to wash it again. What are you doing wrong?
Many people make these mistakes, see how to avoid them.
Even the best detergents and softeners do not guarantee that your laundry will smell nice after washing, and we have probably all seen this with our own eyes or smell.
If it happens that your clothes smell quite unpleasant even after washing, there are three reasons for this, and luckily there are solutions.
The machine is not clean
The dark and damp interior of the machine is an excellent breeding ground for mold and other bacteria that remain on the clothes and leave an unpleasant smell. To avoid this, clean the washing machine regularly.
A common problem is also that detergent residues, dirt, mold remain in the machine... Clean the washing machine - clean the door, remove the powder drawer and wash it.
Another great trick is to pour two cups of white vinegar into the detergent drawer and run the empty machine on the highest setting.
If none of this helps, the problem may be more serious, in which case you should contact the professionals.
You added too much detergent
Many people think that their laundry doesn't smell good because they didn't put enough detergent in it. If you apply too little, the detergent cannot kill the bacteria, but if you apply too much, it has the opposite effect. Excess detergent sticks to clothes, and bacteria also clings to it.
Therefore, stick to the dosage recommended on the packaging.
You did not air the laundry immediately
The third reason why clothes still smell bad after washing is that you may have left the laundry wet in the machine for too long. When laundry is left in the machine for a long time, there is a problem because wet clothes in a humid environment attract bacteria.
If you forget, restart the machine to rinse and add a cup of white vinegar to the powder compartment. While fabric softeners mask unpleasant odors, vinegar will neutralize them and disinfect clothes naturally.
In addition to all this, there is a tip to never overfill the washing machine, because if you cram too many clothes into it, they won't wash well.
