Front-loading washers use airtight seals to prevent water from leaking while the machine is in use. When the machine is not in use, this seal can trap moisture in the machine and lead to mold. Leave the door open for an hour or two after use to allow moisture to evaporate. CAUTION: Make sure children and pets do not climb into the machine while the door is open.

My first experience with front load washers came from years or working in house laundry at hotels and laundry-mats/dry-cleaners. Not only do front load washers use less water and detergent... but they also give less wear and tear on your clothes than the traditional agitation washing machines (Top load). Gentler washing cycles means less replacing of clothes... so it is a win for me and the environment.
