Do I need to put detergent in the bucket for self-cleaning?
Under normal circumstances, the washing machine barrel does not need to put additional detergent for self-cleaning. When it reaches a certain impact, it can clean up the residues inside and outside the barrel, effectively preventing the clothes from being polluted twice. However, if you want to improve the cleaning effect even further, you can choose to use a professional washing machine inner sink cleaner.
After buying a professional washing machine inner sink cleaner at the supermarket, you can pour it into the laundry detergent compartment and wash it by turning on the main wash function of the washing machine. After completing the cleaning, it is recommended not to drain the water immediately, but to turn off the power first and let the detergent soak in the bucket for a while, prolonging the soaking time can better clean the dirt. Finally, wash it again with clean water and wipe the inner drum of the washing machine with a dry cloth.
Although the self-cleaning of the bucket itself does not require the addition of detergent, the use of a professional cleaner can be an aid in special cases or when you want to clean the sink of the washing machine more thoroughly. The key is to choose whether to add detergent according to the actual situation to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the inside of the washing machine. May your washing machine always be as clean as new, so that every wash is more assured.
