Mastering Laundry Freshness: Tips with Downy

At Downy, we believe in making your laundry experience as fresh and pleasant as possible. Here's how you can help prevent your clothes from smelling musty and keep your washing machine in prime condition.

One simple step to keep musty smells at bay is to leave the washer door open after each use. This allows the interior to dry, reducing the chance of musty smells. Additionally, make sure to clean the gasket monthly to remove any trapped moisture or residue.

Citric acid is a powerful component in odor removal due to its ability to neutralize odor-causing residues at a lower pH level. This process effectively breaks down the substances that cause unpleasant smells, leaving your laundry and washing machine fresh and clean. Citric acid is the key cleaning component in Downy Rinse and Refresh.

For the best laundry results, it's important to pair your rinse with a premium detergent like Tide Oxi Power Pods. This combination ensures optimal stain removal and enhances freshness. While Downy Rinse helps eliminate odor-causing residues, Tide Oxi Power Pods deliver powerful cleaning action, tackling tough stains and dirt.

For optimal performance, washing machine manufacturers recommend cleaning your machine monthly. Using a cleaner like Tide Washing Machine Cleaner can help remove build-up and residues. Pair this with a citric acid-based rinse such as Downy Rinse or Gain Rinse to help maintain a clean, odor-free machine. These products not only help keep your machine fresh but also enhance the cleanliness of your laundry by removing lingering residues.
