Laundry Drying Tips

A lot of this might be common sense, but common sense is always worth
repeating. There are two aspects of drying, the first is to eliminate
odors and the second is to dry the clothes better.

Let’s first take a look at eliminating the odor
1. Don’t leave clothes in the washer
– This also includes letting your clothes collect in the washing
machine with the lid closed! The dampness, sweat, dead skin and dirt
collect inside the machine’s already airtight drum that causes
the clothes to stink even more and grow mold on the inner drum. The
inner drum mold is very difficult to clean, and will dry, flake off and
soil your clothes once they are clean. You may not see the mold on the
drum, but it is there.
2. Do Not leave WET clothes inside the washer
– In addition to the factors above, your clothes will develop a
pungent odor that will take many additional washings (and bleach or
vinegar) to remove. Get your clothes to the dryer or hung up ASAP.
3. Do Not wash with too many clothes at once - the fewer items you have, the better they are washed and the easier they dry.

4. Always leave your washing machine lid OPEN – this lets air circurlate in the drum and dries the drum out after each washing.
