How to disinfect the washing machine

The washing machine expert of China Household Electrical Appliances Research Institute pointed out that the environment inside the washing machine is very humid, which will breed a lot of mold after a few days of idleness. The longer it is used, the more opportunities mold will breed in it. After a washing machine has been used for a long time, if it is not cleaned in time, it will slowly appear muddy and unclean.

Over time, the next washing will be polluted. If people use a washing machine with mold for a long time to wash clothes, it may cause cross-infection and cause various skin diseases.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent mold is not to cover the washing machine after washing clothes.

The washing machine should prevent fungal spores: the number of fungal spores in automatic washing machine is more than that in semi-automatic washing machine. Therefore, after washing clothes, you should empty the water in the washing machine in time, and if possible, open the lid and use the disinfection cabinet or clothing disinfectant; Underwear is best washed by hand.
