The purpose of washing machines is to clean clothes, disinfect them, and leave them smelling great. However, some washing machines in many homes do the opposite due to a buildup of bacteria in the drum, which can leave your clothes smelling unpleasant and musty.
Mold in the Washing Machine:
The washing machine is perfect for mold growth, providing a warm and humid environment for mold to form. Front-loading washers are particularly susceptible to mold because they usually have a tight rubber seal that prevents moisture from escaping the washing machine.
In addition to being unpleasant to the senses, common mold can cause a variety of health problems. Many people are sensitive to mold exposure and can cause common allergy symptoms, such as congestion, itchy eyes, wheezing, or skin irritation.
