Reasons Not to Leave Clothes in a Washer

Hello. And welcome to the wonderful world of washing clothes. Today we've been talking all about washing your colored clothes, and I have a tip for you. Don't leave your colored clothes or any clothes, in the washing machine. What happens is, I don't know if you've ever left anything in there for more than 24 hours, but it starts to smell really gross and mildewy. And here you've taken all your time to check your tags, to check your clothes, to separate all your beautiful colored clothes, do all that work that we've been through, and now you're going to have to wash your clothes all over again. We don't want to put your clothes through more washes, we want to keep them vibrant and bright. Not to mention, your washing machine will start smelling horrible, too. So, you're going to be putting these clothes in a washing machine that smells gross to begin with. So, don't leave your clothes there, it's not the right place. If you have to, take them out, and put them wet somewhere, in a basket. But, don't leave them in there. Also, if you do your laundry at a Laundromat, don't leave your clothes there either. I know it's tempting, doing laundry is kind of boring. You might want to wander off to Starbuck's and have a drink, you see your friends, some time goes by. You come back and again you're going to have really stinky clothes, or worse, something is going to be missing, because people, unfortunately, do steal clothes out of Laundromats. So, a very good tip while doing your laundry is, not to leave your clothes in the washing machine. We don't want to have stinky clothes!
