Daily maintenance tips:

1. The washing machine should be placed in a ventilated and bright place. Leave the washing machine lid open for two to three hours after each wash. Experimental data has shown that the amount of mold on a washing machine with the lid open is 40% less than that of a washing machine without the lid open.

2. After using the newly purchased washing machine for half a year, it should be cleaned and disinfected regularly every two or three months.

3. Clean the filter bag inside the machine frequently. When not in use, take off the filter bag and hang it outside to allow it to dry fully. Don't leave dirty clothes in the washing machine for a long time. Take them out to dry immediately after washing.

4. It is best to flush the drainage pipe with clean water after each use. The lower drain outlet must be higher than the drainage pipe to prevent water from remaining in the drainage pipe.

After a new washing machine has been used for five months, the bacteria inside the washing machine will increase significantly, so it needs to be disinfected. When it comes to children's clothes, never wash them in the washing machine. Children's skin is relatively delicate, and bacteria can cause certain harm to them.
