After the newly purchased washing machine is used for half a year, and every three months thereafter, it shall be cleaned with special detergent for washing machine. In particular, do not close the door of the washing machine immediately after washing clothes. The door should be open until it is dry.
The washing machine needs descaling
The inside of the washing machine looks very clean, but you don't know that there is an outer sleeve on the outside of the washing cylinder when washing. The washing water goes in and out between the two layers, and the water is discharged in the interlayer. If you pull out the washing cylinder, you will be surprised 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, detergent free matter, fiber, organic matter, dust, bacteria and other garbage. These hodgepodge are firmly attached to the interlayer of the washing machine and propagate and ferment at room temperature. When washing, it will pollute the clothes and bring them to the human body, and even make people itch and allergic.
When washing the washing machine, pour three kettles of water descaling agent (available on the market) into an empty container, prepare according to the ratio of descaling agent / water = L / 2 and stir evenly. Pour the mixed detergent solution from the detergent addition box. Be careful not to splash it on the skin. Then press the power switch of the washing machine, set the program to the washing program (select the longest time) and rotate the washing cylinder; After the descaling solution is discharged from the drain pipe into the bucket, add the discharged descaling solution from the detergent addition box, repeat this for many times until the program is completed, open the filter and clean the filter screen. After the machine runs, open the water inlet valve and restore the drain pipe to its original position. Re select the washing program to make the washing machine run again. After the program runs, clean the filter screen again. So far, the descaling and cleaning are completed.
However, due to the action of descaling liquid, the surface of the washing machine drum will be slightly dark black, but it will not affect normal use. It can be restored to its original state after washing clothes for several times.
The washing machine should be cleaned regularly
How can we effectively prevent the breeding of mold? At present, there are also disadvantages in the residential environment. In particular, there is usually only one drain in the apartment, and there are few windows in the bathroom where the washing machine is placed, which is not conducive to drying and ventilation. Therefore, after washing the clothes, the washing machine should open the cover and air it. When not in use, take off the filter bag and air it outside to make it fully dry. In addition, spraying with 0.02% oxygen-containing bleach aqueous solution can also kill bacteria. Mold is very sensitive to temperature. The survival rate in 35 ℃ water is very low. It is almost zero in 45 ℃ water. Once every two or three months, soaking the washing machine bucket with bath water mixed with oxygen-containing bleach for one night or cleaning with 45 ℃ hot water can effectively kill mold.
