Violent shaking and loud banging
Misaligned drums
Worn-out bearings
Premature machine failure
2. They Can Damage Your Dryer Too
Wet bath mats take forever to dry.
They create excessive steam, which can:
Overheat the dryer
Cause mold growth inside the vent system
Increase fire risk due to lint buildup
3. Mold & Mildew Thrive Inside Machines
If not dried quickly, damp mats breed mold and bacteria — both on the mat and inside your washer.
These microbes can transfer to your next load of towels or clothes.
