Should I open the front-loading washing machine lid after washing?

According to experts, because the operating mechanism of top-loading washing machines and front-loading washing machines is different. With top-loading washing machines, the washing drum is vertical, this structure allows steam to escape quickly when the washing machine lid is opened. Thanks to that, the washing machine will dry quickly, with less mold accumulation.

On the contrary, front-load washing machines have a horizontal drum, which makes it more difficult for steam to escape. Therefore, opening the lid of a front-load washing machine does not help much in helping the washing machine to release steam.

Besides, opening the front-loading washing machine also has many potential risks of accidents such as pets jumping in, naughty children putting hard objects in the machine or us accidentally hitting the door causing damage.

Therefore, with front-loading washing machines, after washing, you should quickly take out the clothes to avoid leaving them in the machine for a long time. At the same time, you should only open the washing machine door for a short time, you can use a fan to speed up the drying process and then close the washing machine.

In addition, modern front-loading washing machines today often have a drum cleaning mode. You just need to regularly use this mode to remove detergent residue, bacteria that are harmful to the skin, and dirt and fabric fibers. This mode ensures that the washing machine will no longer have bad odors or mold, and the clothes will be clean and fragrant.
