When I moved out, I lived with a flatmate for a few years and I left the washing machine door open after using it and my flatmate closed it. I explained to her why I left it open and she just stared back at me. Not once had she ever thought of this and said it made so much sense. She is about 20 years my senior. Certain habits seem to be so obvious, but unless handed down, someone may never even think of it. Reminds me of that guy that never thought to let the shower water get warm before stepping in. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 child) Huh... I have a top loader and grew up with one so it'd never occur to me this is needed, since with a top loader there's no reason to close it, it doesn't get in the way by being open I'm glad I saw this thread, if I ever have a front loader now I'll know to leave it open :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (1 child) If you ever need a new one, front loaders tend to fit more and I believe they're more efficient too. Plus if a top loader grenades itself, it might be a pain to get your laundry out if the drum doesn't move anymore. Front loaders are more expensive though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 year ago Front loaders also wash better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DoGeeseSeeGod@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago Totally fair about habits being passed down. However, I lived with someone who I had to explain the whole leave the washer open 2 or 3 times over the course of a couple years. She'd even complain about the smell. She was one dense mother fucker tho. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@piefed.social 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) As well as the hatch where the detergent goes in. Otherwise it will get swampy in there. That part of the post kinda makes me wonder if maybe her mother just takes better care of hers. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ratel@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago I take the detergent tray out after every wash so it dries properly. Occasionally wipe the tray slot down if it needs it, and wash the tray. Seen a few horrible swamps in shared housing over college years. permalink fedilink source parent
