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.
The pedestal is necessary to elevate the washer/dryer door to a reasonable height, but it's designed as a hollow can (with drawer) so the loud noise from the washer is amplified by it. This is a poor design! A front load washer has a longer wash cycle with water that is shot in at regular intervals.
