How does this happen? Quite simply: by concentrating hot water in a closed, humid and small room. There is a very high risk of mold growth if we leave wet clothes in our appliance for hours.

Mold is a fungus that is not harmless at all, it not only stains and damages clothes, but also damages the seals of the washing machine and its components. Have you ever taken your laundry out of the washing machine after hours and smelled an unpleasant odor or saw stains? In this case, your laundry was already infested with mold.

We know that everyday life is hectic and that sometimes you neglect laundry out of sheer haste or forgetfulness. But from today you know why you shouldn't. Experts recommend never leaving laundry in the washing machine for more than 10 minutes, but hanging it up immediately. If you don't have this option, you can also put it in a plastic basket so that the laundry comes into contact with the air.
