Have you ever seen foam overflowing from your washing machine and wondered why this happens? Don’t worry – you’re not alone! This is a common issue, and the good news is: it's easy to fix.

Why You Should Always Leave Your Washing Machine Door Open After a Wash

💡 Top Reasons for Excessive Foam:

1️⃣ Using Too Much DetergentMore soap doesn’t mean cleaner clothes! Always follow the detergent instructions. Too much soap = too much foam.

2️⃣ Using the Wrong Type of DetergentIf your machine is High-Efficiency (HE), you need HE detergent. Regular detergent makes extra foam that HE washers can’t handle.

3️⃣ Washing Certain FabricsDid you know that some fabrics naturally create more foam?

• Wool

• Microfiber & Polyester

• Waterproof materials (like outdoor jackets & blankets)

• Sportswear (like nylon or spandex)

• Heavy blankets or pillows with stuffing

These materials trap soap inside and release it slowly, creating more bubbles than usual.

4️⃣ Blocked Drain or FilterA clogged filter or drain pipe can prevent water from flowing properly, causing foam to back up.

5️⃣ Machine Sensor ProblemsIf the foam sensor or water level sensor isn’t working well, the washer can’t control foam properly.
