How long do you let the lids open after using...

[super32]

Always open unless company is coming. My W&D are off the kitchen behind bi-fold doors. You have to look for them to find them. Even with the bi-fold doors closed, the drawer and door can stay open 2-3in. Never any odors here. In past houses where i wasnt able to leave the door wide open, i would still prop it open with a towel.

In the humid South out my way-leave the lids open all the time the my machines aren't in use.

Until the next load, typically.
