According to related tests, the detection rate of coliform bacteria in washing machines that have been used for more than one year reached 100%, and the detection rate of mold was 60.2%. After 30 minutes of water injection, molds reached 4566 per liter, and the number of molds in automatic washing machines was double. The tank is 2.6 times, and the drum washing machine is twice the pulsator type. Is it a little scared to see these? Some people may ask, how did these bacteria produce?

Since there is a 2-3 cm interlayer between the outer tub and the inner tub of the washing machine, the strong water flow during laundry will not pass through here, so the dirt during washing will be deposited here, and the remaining bacteria on the clothes will adhere to the wall of the washing machine barrel.

In addition, the inside of the washing machine is humid, a lot of dirt and bacteria grow here, and the laundry detergent cannot be removed. After a long time, the dirt will become more and more. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will cause pollution to the clothes that are washed daily. So do you dare not clean your washing machine?

For daily cleaning, the area between the inner and outer drums of the washing machine cannot be removed directly for cleaning. The simplest and most efficient way is to use a washing machine special cleaning agent or descaling agent, which only produces a small amount of foam, which can remove stains, bacteria and odors inside the washing machine without damaging the machine. It is worth noting that washing powder and liquid detergent cannot replace special detergents for cleaning, which not only have no effect, but may also cause foam to overflow and damage the machine.

The inner tub is also a very dirty part of the washing machine. In order to keep the inner tub of the washing machine clean and hygienic, we can also use washing machine detergent, ozone water and bleach for cleaning. Except for the inside, the drain filter of the washing machine cannot be dropped. The filter is usually at the lower right corner of the front of the washing machine. We can use a flat-blade screwdriver or open it directly, let go of the drain pipe to drain the residual water, and then unscrew the drain filter and clean the filter. And then put it back.

For the health of the family, it is best to do a deep cleaning of the household washing machine regularly. Generally speaking, a newly purchased washing machine should be cleaned and disinfected every two to three months after being used for half a year. The area of the washing machine is dry and ventilated, and the clothes are dried immediately after washing. Open the drum cover and let the inner tank air dry naturally, which will reduce the production of bacteria.
