Rescuing forgotten clothes from the washer
Watermark

We’ve all experienced it: forgetting clothes in the washer and discovering they smell like wet dog. But fear not! With our expert advice, you can rescue your garments and bid farewell to musty odors.

According to Martha Stewart, leaving wet clothes in the washing machine overnight is deemed acceptable. However, while it might not be catastrophic, it’s not an ideal practice. Nonetheless, fret not if you’ve left them overnight; there’s no need for a midnight dash to rescue them.

To tackle the dreaded wet dog smell, consider these top tips:

Air-Dry:

For slightly musty clothes, air-drying outdoors can work wonders. The fresh breeze helps eliminate odors naturally.

Vinegar Soak:

Add a cup of vinegar along with your detergent when rewashing. Vinegar's disinfectant properties combat odors effectively.

Baking Soda Boost:

Sprinkle baking soda before running a hot water cycle to neutralize odors and freshen clothes.

Besides neglect, other factors can contribute to musty-smelling laundry:

  • Inadequate drying: Ensure clothes dry thoroughly to prevent odors.
  • Washing moldy items: Separate moldy garments from others to prevent contamination.
  • Unclean washing machine: Regular cleaning prevents machine-induced odors.
  • Overloading: Avoid overfilling the washer for proper cleaning.

Regular maintenance is key. Clean your washer and detergent drawer frequently, and keep the machine door ajar between washes to prevent mold growth.
