I always use the Washing machine instead if doing it by hand

    Unnecessary. Leave the door open to air dry between washes.

    I live in a place where humidity maxes out over summer and I assure you just airing it out doesn’t do the trick.

    Also, there are washing machines on this planet that don’t run on hot water. I have one of those. I can run hot water from the tap but it technically isn’t built for that. These machines require treatment.

    What do you think is more likely? That a laundry noob is gonna throw self measured amounts of vinegar and citric acid in their washing machine? Or that they get a readymade product from the drugstore?

      I live on the equator and my washing machine only has cold water. I’ve never experienced anything that you guys are talking about in regards to the machine smelling like anything except laundry detergent. Do you leave your machines full of wet clothes or something?

        Every time I’ve heard people make similar claims like “basic stuff doesn’t work for me”, their problems always end up being user error.
