I am a leasing agent for a residential apartment building in Los Angeles, Ca. I have 6 years of experience in this position. As an onsite leasing agent, my job is to oversee a new residentâs entire process. I am the first contact that all potential tenants have when they are interested in renting an apartment.
This mildew smell is a common problem for people who own front-loading washers. That odor comes from mold growing inside your washing machine caused by residue and bacteria. Here are a few steps you can take that will help eliminate the cause and remove the smell.
Washer Settings. Most front-load washers have several different settings for different types of clothing material. Most top-load washers have few if any extra settings. Because of this, a front-load washer, using a customized setting, can extend a wash cycle up to 30 minutes or more. However, even when washing for a longer period of time, a front-load washer will be more efficient to run than a top-load washer.
