RE: Why Some Have Had Odors Left On Clothes
That’s a good question. My take on why others may or may not have foul smelling laundry from a front loader is that there are many different variables at play. It’s not a one size fits all as each family and machine is different.
How many family members?
What are there habits, hobbies, work?
What type of fabrics are being washed?
What type of detergent?
How much detergent?
How much water in the rinse cycle?
Does the machine possess the ability to run cycles appropriate for the job?
What is the machines spin speed?
I know for me it was only synthetic fabrics, having a family of five who all are active, and not having an extra rinse or pre wash.
I never had any mold or mildew smell from my front loader and I never left the door or detergent drawer open. I just ran a hot wash with bleach twice per week when washing my rags and towels.
I now know the problem wasn’t that it was a front loader in itself. The problem was that I purchased a front loader that didn’t fit my needs.
