Experienced housewives advise using simple life hacks.
In autumn and winter, drying things becomes more difficult, especially if the house is cool and there is no dryer. One of the most important problems is an unpleasant odor. When things dry for a long time, they seem to “suffocate” and begin to stink. What needs to be added to the washing machine so that things do not become musty, says Gazeta.pl.
Experienced housewives advise using simple life hacks. To prevent things from becoming musty after washing, add either vinegar or soda to the powder.
How to dry things so they don’t stink – life hack with vinegar
To remove unpleasant odors, add a little vinegar to your laundry detergent. Literally 100 grams of this liquid will be enough for you. During washing, vinegar will neutralize all bacteria and will prevent things from “suffocating” when you dry them.
It is important to note that vinegar should only be added when you are sure that it will not ruin the fabric. Items may change color, so test this method on a small area first, such as a lining or the back of a pocket. In addition, after washing with vinegar, things need to be rinsed twice. Set the additional mode so that there is no strong smell left.

How to wash clothes so they smell good – try baking soda
You can soak items before washing them in the machine. To do this, add two tablespoons of baking soda to the water, and then let the clothes rest there. After this, you can wash your clothes as usual.
In addition, you can add a little baking soda to your washing powder. This method will appeal to those who do not want to waste time soaking. Just pour baking soda into the drum of your washing machine. But do not forget that for delicate and colored fabrics this life hack should be used with caution.
