Is it better to leave the door unopened on a washing machine until you are ready to hang the clothes up

Question

We are having a long running arguement in our house. I need to know is it best to NOT to open the door to a washing machine until you are ready to hang the clothes up (sometimes after several hours) to avoid getting the musky smell or is it best to open the door anyway or does it not make any difference?

Answer 1

Don't do your wash until you have time to hang it up, otherwise your clothes are going to mold.

Answer 2

Open the door and also loosen the clothes up by hand. You know how they melt together in the spin? Loosen them up don't leave them spun together.

Answer 3

In my experience, it is better to open the washing machine because if you do not, you will get the musty smell.  Then if you forget to hang the clothes up right away, you are covered.
