Sometimes things in your closet can develop an unpleasant, musty smell.

Moreover, it can arise for various reasons.

In this case, there may be several possible sources of the stench.

Lack of ventilation

The air in the closet can become stagnant. Dust also collects here.

Over time, this can lead to an unpleasant odor.

A smell can also arise if you hang and fold things too tightly.

In this case, air circulation may be disrupted. Therefore, it is worth periodically opening the cabinet and leaving it like that for some time.

In addition, special ventilation can be provided in this situation.

Washing machine

An unpleasant smell in clothes can also appear because of the washing machine.

Water may stagnate in the machine or blockages may occur.

In addition, a stench may develop if you put dirty clothes in the drum and leave them there for a long time after washing.

Therefore, it is worth keeping the machine clean, drying the drum and detergent compartment after each wash.

Incorrect drying

If you don't dry your clothes well, don't be surprised if your closet starts to stink.

In this case, mold may even appear.

To prevent the formation of an unpleasant odor, items should be hung up immediately after washing is finished.

Moreover, it is advisable to dry them in a well-ventilated room. Otherwise, due to humidity, they may become musty.
