Extra Tips To Keep Your Washer And Dryer Clean
-
- Always leave the washing machine door open for some time after washing so that the washer and dryer dry properly. By leaving the door open, the retained moisture in the washer and dryer will evaporate, and you can avoid the growth of mold and mildew.
- Always try to avoid storing fabric softener or cloth in the washer and dryer. Instead, remove the clothes asap after washing or drying. Because if you store them in the washer and dryer for a long time, then fabric softeners will leave residue in the washer and dryer and other clothes.
- Always use a limited amount of detergent in the washing machine because different use of detergent will cling to the washer walls, which leads to boring and odorous clothes.
