We are very particular about the smell of our clothes right after it comes out of the washing machine. A washer that does not make it smell right is definitely not an ideal washing machine. So which one can really wash clothes well and make it smell fresh?

Front Load Washers

Most of the brands of front loaders today wash clothes really well. In fact, 90% of front load-owning consumers say that their laundry comes out smelling fresh. This is because of the innate functions of this type of washing machine.

The drum is placed horizontally so instead of the usual spinning cycle, it uses gravitational force and a tumbling motion to infuse water and detergent in your clothes. This tumbling motion also prevents fabric damages.

Top Load Washers

A traditional top load washing machine uses an agitator. This agitator spins your laundry. Compared to front loaders, it is not as competent in infusing water and detergent in your laundry so it may not come out as clean and as fresh-smelling as you would want it to be.

Here is the catch, there are new and improve top loaders today called High efficiency top loaders. These washers actually have similar functions with front loaders. The agitator is conveniently missing replaced by a washer plate. It does not use the regular one-way spinning cycle but uses a centrifugal force to spin your clothes in either direction. This method infuses more of the required detergent and water in your laundry.

One point that should not be missed is the type of detergent you are going to use. High efficiency washers require the use of high efficiency detergents. These detergents form fewer suds so it does not mess up with the functions of your high efficiency washer.

Let us also take into consideration the maintenance procedures of each washer. Front loaders are actually at a disadvantage here because they are more predisposed to the development of mold, mildew and bacteria resulting to a musty washer smell. This smell can infuse to your clothes. If you are picking a front load washer, make sure you know the methods on how to prevent front load musty smell. Otherwise, you are better off with a high efficiency top loader.

There are some high efficiency top load washing machines that have holes found in its tub door. These holes allow air to incorporate inside and lessen its likelihood of developing mold and mildew.
