Beko shares smart laundry tips and appliance solutions to beat humid-season challenges
With the rainy season in full swing, households across the Philippines face a recurring issue—laundry that smells less than fresh. Damp conditions make it tough to dry clothes properly, and indoor drying often leads to the dreaded “kulob” odor. If you’ve ever pulled a shirt from the drying rack only to wrinkle your nose, you’re not alone.
Luckily, Beko, from Europe’s No. 1 Large Home Appliance Company, offers expert-backed laundry tips and high-performance appliance solutions that make rainy-day laundry feel less like a chore—and more like a win.
Why Clothes Smell “Kulob” During the Rainy Season
What's Inside
Moisture, humidity, and limited airflow are the culprits. When clothes don’t dry completely or fast enough, bacteria grow, causing that musty scent. But don’t worry—it’s not permanent. With smart laundry habits and the right equipment, you can prevent kulob even without sunshine.
Here’s our Laundry Tips:
Tip #1: Don’t Let Laundry Pile Up
Procrastinating laundry is tempting, but rainy days require a more proactive approach.
- Do smaller loads more often so you can catch short breaks of dry weather
- Sort fabrics properly to ensure each gets the right wash cycle
- Wash ASAP to prevent odor-causing bacteria from settling in
Best appliance for the job: Beko’s WTLD120D Top-Load Washing Machine (12 kg) makes things easier for busy households. It includes:
- 10 wash programs
- 3D Fine Wash for deep cleaning
- AquaWave Drum Pattern for gentle care
Originally priced at P29,990, you can grab it now for P20,990—saving you P9,000.
Tip #2: Use the Right Wash Settings
Not all fabrics need the same kind of care, and using the wrong settings may do more harm than good.
- Use gentle cycles for delicate items like wool and lace
- Select intensive cycles for dirty outdoor clothes or workout wear
- Avoid overwashing, which damages fibers and wastes water
Smart solution: The Beko WCV8612XS0ST 8 kg front-load washing machine offers 15 wash programs, including:
- GentleCare for cottons
- Woolmark Apparel Care for wool
- Outdoor/Sports for waterproof gear

Tip #3: Dry Clothes Immediately
Damp clothes are breeding grounds for odor and mold. The faster they dry, the fresher they smell.
- Use indoor drying racks with airflow to speed up drying
- Choose a dryer for worry-free results on cloudy days
- Avoid hanging clothes in cramped corners where air can’t circulate

To reduce kulob long-term, opt for machines with built-in hygiene features.
- SteamCure by Beko uses steam to sanitize clothes, minimize allergens, and soften fabrics

These features mean fewer sick days, fresher laundry, and less need for post-wash ironing.
