The classic problem many face during the rainy season is 'smelly clothes' from drying laundry indoors, especially for those with limited space like in condos where air circulation is poor. Not only does this create concerns about personal image due to unpleasant odors, but it also poses a risk of accumulating unseen germs and bacteria. Beko recommends 4 ways to say goodbye to smelly laundry, boosting both confidence and hygiene.

1. Divide Laundry According to Washer Capacity

If the amount of laundry is too large and dense, it may reduce washing efficiency, including the distribution of detergent and fabric softener, leading to leftover stains and unpleasant odors from bacteria buildup after washing. Therefore, it is advisable to allocate the right amount of laundry per wash cycle and consider increasing the number of washes instead. This means choosing a washing machine with technology that helps reduce washing time and save energy, which could be a worthwhile consideration for long-term use.

2. Regularly Clean Your Washing Machine

Even with regular use, if the washing machine is not cleaned, the drum can become a breeding ground for dirt and germs, which may transfer to clothes and cause odors after washing. Therefore, it is essential to clean the washing machine regularly, at least once a month, to maintain optimal performance. Most modern washing machines come with an automatic cleaning function, such as the DrumClean+ program in Beko washers, which increases water temperature to eliminate bacteria and mold completely. If your model lacks this function, you can opt for a wash program with the highest temperature instead.

3. Invest in a Dryer

Besides the risk of clothes not drying completely and developing odors, traditional drying methods increase the chances of clothes being contaminated with dust or germs from hard-to-control pollution. Choosing to use a dryer not only makes life easier but also promotes better hygiene, allowing clothes to dry clean and odor-free in a short time. For instance, Beko's dryers come with SteamCure™ technology, which uses powerful steam distribution to clean fabrics thoroughly without damaging them, certified by Allergy UK to eliminate allergens, mold, and bacteria by up to 99.9%, addressing concerns on unpredictable weather days or whenever needed.

4. Use Fabric Softener Formulated for Indoor Drying

Another essential aid for cleaning clothes during the rainy season is using laundry products formulated for indoor drying to help reduce musty odors. Especially concentrated fabric softeners not only help preserve the fabric's softness and make ironing easier but also add long-lasting fragrance while effectively eliminating unpleasant odors from drying in dim light.
