Here are some mistakes when using the washing machine:
1. Do not take out the clothes to dry immediately after washing
Many people don’t hang them to dry right away after washing them but rather leave them for a while, perhaps overnight.
After washing, dry the clothing immediately to ensure that they are flat and free of bacteria.
Because the washed garments are moist, keeping them in the washing machine produces a lot of steam, creating ideal circumstances for germs and mold to flourish.
This not only makes the clothes smell horrible, but it also causes an unpleasant odor in the washer. As a result, after washing, you should take the clothing out to dry right away; do not keep them in the washing machine for too long.

2. Close the washing machine lid immediately after washing and take out the clothes
Experts recommend that after removing the clothing from the washing machine, you open the lid for roughly 2-3 hours before closing it again, especially with horizontal drum washing machines (front doors). The reason for this is that front-loading washing machines include a barrier and rubber gasket to keep water from leaking out while in use.
However, because of this characteristic, any lingering steam and moisture inside the washing machine after the washing cycle is complete will be unable to evaporate and escape. This will promote the growth and development of bacteria and mold, making our garments even dirty.
Furthermore, to avoid dust from entering the washing machine, do not leave the lid open for an extended time. And, for horizontal drum washing machines, opening the lid for too long will restrict the passage, harming the connection between the door and the body of the washing machine.
