Leave the door open
With new high efficiency washing machines, it is a good idea to leave the door open when not in use. Excess water left in the machine can form all kinds of mold over time. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to be walking around smelling moldy fresh all day.
I have even been called out to check out a smelly smell in peoples houses. Turned out to be mold growing in their washing machine. There are available options out there for this problem. Special cleaning tabs that are run through an empty machine will clear this problem right up.
Long story short keep the door open, and your clothes will no longer have that smelly smell lingering on them.
