However, this habit is very harmful because stagnant water creates a damp and musty smell that sticks to clothes and “eats up all the good smells.” You will therefore be forced to wash again.

Once the clothes are out of the drum, it’s time to hang them up. This phase is just as important as that of washing, because it often happens that we have strong-smelling clothes straight from the washing machine and no longer smell that good smell after drying.
This means that there were “failures” during the drying phase. The first reason could be that you hung too many clothes and didn’t give them the space they needed to dry by absorbing the sunlight. That’s why we always advise you to only hang a few items of clothing at a time and take up as much space as possible.
Another golden rule is to hang clothes in the sun, as clothes exposed to direct sunlight can produce substances that give off a pleasant smell. However, keep in mind that clothes exposed to the sun for too long can dry out to the point where they lose their good smell and even dry out, like towels.
We therefore recommend that you take off the clothes immediately after drying so that the good smell remains even when worn and, above all, to expose the clothes to the sun when it is not yet very strong, especially in the early hours of the morning.
Cleaning the washing machine
A final reason why clothes tend to smell is the buildup of dirt in the washing machine. We therefore remind you to carry out an empty wash at least once a month by adding about 150 g of citric acid to 1 liter of water, mix this mixture, pour it into the drum and start the empty wash cycle.
In addition, it is also important to pay attention to other components of the washing machine, such as the seal and the drawer, where dirt accumulates quickly and easily.
