Should you rewash a load of clothes if they smell?

What is: Yes, if your clothes still smell after washing, it’s a good idea to rewash them. Lingering odors can be caused by several factors, such as:

  • Detergent residue: Sometimes, detergent can build up on clothes, trapping odors.
  • Overloading the washer: If the washer is too full, clothes might not get cleaned properly.
  • Mildew: Leaving wet clothes in the washer for too long can cause mildew, leading to unpleasant smells.

To address this, you can try using a bit more detergent, adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Also, make sure to dry the clothes promptly after washing to prevent mildew.

What are three essential steps for loading a washer?

What is:

  2. Load Evenly: Distribute clothes evenly around the drum, leaving enough space for them to move freely. Avoid overloading to ensure effective washing.

  3. Select the Right Cycle: Choose the appropriate wash cycle based on the fabric type and soil level to protect your clothes and achieve the best cleaning results.
