After washing with Tide, your clothes may still smell for several reasons:
• First, inspect your washing machine for detergent residue, mold, or mildew, which can transfer to your clothes during the wash cycle.
• An effective washing machine cleaner cleaning cycle can fix this issue.
• Use the right water level for your laundry load. Insufficient water may leave detergent and dirt behind, causing odor.
• Keep clothes in the washer's recommended load capacity to avoid overwashing.
• Too much detergent can leave residue on clothes, so check the Tide packaging for the recommended amount based on load size and water hardness.
• Finally, improper drying can make clothes smell musty. Make sure your clothes dry quickly using the right drying cycle for the fabric and a dehumidifier if needed.
