If after a wash the towels smell unpleasant, this can have different causes. Towels cleaning service would like to inform you about possible triggers that can cause this stinking odor and at the same time offer solutions:

Wash at too low a temperature:

If you wash your towels generally at too low a temperature, i.e. below 60 C, then forms with time in the washing machine drum a dirt film. Lint, soap residue and grease accumulate in the lint filter, but unfortunately also in some areas of the washing machine. For example, on seals, hoses and in the section below the drum.

If these parts cannot dry properly after the washing process, it will inevitably lead to the formation of mold. The result is that the laundry takes on a musty smell after a short time. Always wash your towels in the main wash at 60 C or above and avoid the program that often uses too little water to remove any residue of dirt or detergent.

Seals and rubber seal dirty:

Regular attention and cleaning should also be given to the gaskets. With a damp cloth and vinegar cleaner, you should clean it thoroughly. On the rubber seal of the door on the front loader water always stops and it can mold and deposits form there, which then spread to the laundry. This remaining water in the sealing rubber should be removed after every wash if possible.

Lint filter contaminated:

The lint filter must be regularly cleaned of lint and other dirt. The more frequent, the better. You'll be surprised what lost things come to light, such as buttons, bra straps, socks, and coins.

The detergent chamber is moldy:

The filling container for the detergent is often neglected. When cleaning the washing machine, he is often forgotten by carelessness. But the constant humidity can accumulate malodorous detergent residues, which can even lead to mold in the long run and it causes the smell of the laundry.

Foxing in damp towels:

You should never put laundry of any kind, especially towels, damp in the dirty laundry, as otherwise bad-smelling mold can develop - the precursor of mold! In the damp dirty laundry, the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores multiply very quickly.

They can kill bacteria effectively only from a water temperature of 60 C, better 95 C and the use of the full main wash cycle. Avoid the often used savings program!
