How long can laundry stay wet in a washer before you should rewash?

I would not let it sit for anymore than 6 hours. If you do, it will start to mildew.How long can laundry stay wet in a washer before you should rewash?
Until it smells - I would say about a day. If your laundry room is cold, you may get away with 2 days.How long can laundry stay wet in a washer before you should rewash?
You would be able to tell by how the laundry smells if you need to do a re-wash. It hits you when you open the lid.
It depends on the weather. In summertime when its hot it cant stay long at all before it starts to smell and needs to be rewashed. Then good luck getting the musky smell out. (Vinager added to wash cycle helps). Wintertime clothes can stay longer.
it wouldnt be that long. when the clothes start to dry out a bit and they are kind of damp, thats when they start to smell of damp, so i think maybe a day. not even that. its the smell of damp that makes u have to wash them again!
About 18 hours max., beyond that it starts to smell sour. I also suggest that if you do have to re-wash the clothes, add some baking soda to the washer to help make the sour smell disappear.
sometimes mine can stay a couple of days before they start to dry and get damp i put in the dryer and they are ok so anyone who said a day is full of bologne.
