How to disinfect a washing machine

Most people have a washing machine at home, but if you use the washing machine for a long time without cleaning it, it will be contaminated with bacteria. The bacteria will be transferred to your clothes when you use it next time, causing invisible harm to your body. So learning to clean the washing machine is also a very important thing, but how should we disinfect the washing machine?

How to Disinfect Your Washing Machine

There will be a lot of bacteria on the clothes every time you wash them. If you don’t disinfect them in time, they will attach to the washing machine and breed more bacteria. The longer it is used, the more bacteria there are. Moreover, if this type of washing machine is used for a long time, it will cause cross infection.

The inside of the washing machine looks very clean, but you may not know that there is an outer drum outside the washing drum when washing clothes. The washing water goes in and out between these two layers and is discharged in this interlayer. If you pull out the washing drum and take a look, you will definitely be shocked, because the dirt in the interlayer is very serious!

The interlayer of the washing machine is actually like a sewer. Its dirt is mainly composed of scale, free detergent substances, fibers, organic matter, dust, bacteria and other garbage. These hodgepodges are firmly attached to the interlayer of the washing machine, multiply and ferment at room temperature, and will contaminate clothes when washing clothes, bringing harm to the human body, and even causing itchy and allergic skin.

When cleaning, pour three kettles of water and descaling agent (available on the market) into an empty container, prepare it in the ratio of descaling agent/water = 1/2 and stir it evenly. Pour the mixed descaling solution from the detergent box, being careful not to splash it on your skin. Then press the power switch of the washing machine, set the program to "washing program" (select the longest time), and rotate the washing drum; after the descaling liquid is discharged from the drain pipe into the drum, add the discharged descaling liquid from the detergent adding box, and repeat this several times until the program is completed, open the filter and clean the filter.

After the machine has finished running, open the water inlet valve and return the drain pipe to its original position. Reselect the washing program and start the washing machine again. After the program is finished, clean the filter again. At this point, the descaling and cleaning is completed.

You may not have known before that there are so many secrets about washing machines, but after reading the article above, I believe you must have a better understanding of washing machines. In this way, you must pay attention to hygiene in your future life and don’t make the same mistakes again. Maybe you haven’t felt the harm now, but if you find out one day, the consequences will definitely be very serious.
