Mistake number one
STOP USING FABRIC SOFTENER PEOPLE! It's bad for your clothes and your machine.

Using too much detergent. Using the pods....they contain way more detergent than is needed in a load. Leave the door of front loaders & the lid of top loaders open between uses so the machine can dry out ...this will help prevent mold & nasty odors.

id propose that the last one is a child rearing mistake, not a laundry mistake 👀

The second one doesn’t work when most of the clothes are dry and some are still damp but it reads dry. Or when you have a pillow that takes several dries and the machine thinks it’s dry after one. I’ll stick to my timed drying

Hallelujah to no3. Waste of a jar. It already comes in a contained, in a container. ❤❤❤

Mistake 4 using quick wash for everything

[danhutchinsonbackup]

I always use timed because on my dryer sensor dry cuts off the cycle when the stuff isn't even dry yet and my washer dryer doesn't even have sensor drying. The other 2 I completely agree with

My samsung dryer's automatic cycles always leave my clothes damp.

Nah, not going to child proof my home if I don't have kids.

Mistake number one that washing machine how does he. I had one my daughter. Trade it in for a top-loader those machines are terrible flip-flopping close around

Who buys a front loader? When it fails during a wash cycle and you have to open it, where will the water go?

[HarvestMoon]

Stop throwing tops in the dryer. They fade in no time. Line dry those.

[cooliejerk]

Worst mistake is using a front loader washer. No agitator is so gross.

[christina]

Very first mistake is having a front load washer

[mataperro]

Pointless. Idk why I even committed. I’m going to sleep.

[elenavalentino]

#3 - why oh why is the manufacturer allowed to package detergent to look like candy? How many kids have been poisoned? Is the risk worth having this packaging to sell detergent?

[AnthonyJohnson-ywof]

Mistake number one is getting a front load

[randomuploadsism]

Line dry your clothes if you actually care about them
