Washing machines are one of the indispensable appliances in our daily life, but after a long period of use, a large amount of dirt and bacteria accumulate inside the washing machine, which needs to be cleaned and disinfected. Here are some tips for cleaning and disinfecting your washing machine.
1. Washing machine cleaning skills.
1.Clean regularly.
To keep the washing machine clean, it is recommended to do a deep cleaning once a month. Removing the dirt and bacteria inside the washing machine in time can prolong the service life of the washing machine and ensure the washing effect.
2.Clean the washing machine sink.
The sink of the washing machine is where bacteria grow, and it is recommended to clean it every three months with a special washing machine sink cleaner. Pour the detergent into the washing machine sink, add the appropriate amount of water, and start the washing program to allow the detergent to fully dissolve and clean the dirt.
3.Clean the outside of the washing machine.
The exterior of the washing machine is also prone to dirt and dust accumulation, so it is recommended to wipe it regularly with a damp cloth or a special detergent. In particular, the door and bottom of the washing machine are prone to accumulation of mud and mold, so special attention is required.
2. Washing machine disinfection skills.
1.Use high-temperature sterilization.
High temperature is one of the effective ways to disinfect. At the end of the washing program, the washing machine can be automatically washed at high temperatures, or manually cleaned with hot water. High temperatures can kill most bacteria and viruses.
2.Use a special disinfectant.
There is already a special washing machine disinfectant on the market, which can be poured into the washing machine according to the manual, and then add an appropriate amount of water, and then start the washing program for cleaning. However, it is important to choose a disinfectant that is suitable for machine washing to avoid damage to the inside of the washing machine.
3.Allow to dry naturally.
At the end of each washing session, the washing machine can be allowed to dry naturally for a period of time, which will avoid mold growth. At the same time, the door of the washing machine can be opened during drying to allow air to circulate inside, further reducing the growth of bacteria.
