How to Clean the Washing Machine?

Washing machine is a very practical helper at home, which can help us save a lot of trouble and time.

However, whether it is a wave or drum washing machine, used for a long time, the sandwich between the inner drum and outer drum, there will inevitably be hair, sand, detergent and other kinds of dirt residue.

The washing machine itself is also humid, water stains + dirt, the interior is more likely to breed a variety of bacteria.

Once, the Shanghai CDC investigated 128 washing machines, the results found that: more than 50% of the washing machine, almost at the same time, mould, bacteria, E. coli exceeded the standard.

Moreover, the bacteria exceeded the standard rate of 81.3%, mould detection rate of 60.2%, E. coli detection rate of 100%.

It can be seen that the washing machine if not clean, it is really dirty unspeakable!

At present, many people have realised the importance of washing machine cleaning, but it is understood that most of the cleaning methods used, it is wrong!

That barrel cleaning in the end how to use? Need to match the special cleaner? How in the world can the washing machine clean?

I. How does ‘drum clean’ work?

Most of the washing machines bought in recent years have a drum clean function, as long as you rotate to this button, the washing machine will enter the automatic cleaning state.

However, many of us, in fact, use it all wrong, do not read the instructions, directly add a variety of detergents for drum clean, and then found that the washing machine began to a large number of ‘spit foam’, and even damage to the washing machine.

This is because the barrel cleaning function itself is done at high temperatures, basically around 60 degrees, or even 90 degrees, and at this temperature, the detergent is bound to be catalysed by the high temperature, and the production of foam is inevitable.

In fact, as long as you read the manual, you will find that most of the washing machine, the use of cylinder cleaning function, do not need any detergent, just need to knob to this function, let it run until it stops.

Because it is hot enough, as long as you have the habit of using the function regularly every month, basically using the barrel cleaning to clean the washing machine alone, is enough.

Of course, if the washing machine has an automatic laundry detergent drop-in function, remember to switch it off before you start.

To sum up, don't mess around with the drum cleaning, just use it for a single function without adding any detergent.

II. How can I clean my washing machine if it hasn't been cleaned for a long time?

If your home is to get up only to clean, such as half a year, a year or even years, only once clean, or the washing machine itself does not have the function of barrel cleaning, then you can choose the following two options:

①After-sales door-to-door dismantling and cleaning: this is the most thorough, shelling out a few hundred bucks to get it done;

② with detergent: some washing machines can not be dismantled, at this time, can only be solved by matching detergent.

It is important to pay attention to the detergent, this time, do not use the self-cleaning mode, directly with the normal washing menu + detergent to get it done.

The detergents currently on the market, including effervescent tablets, washing powder, washing liquid, etc., are basically based on the function of sterilisation and descaling.

If you have time and don't mind the trouble of soaking, then all of the above can be used.

If you want to save time, you can choose chlorine-containing cleaners, which have a short onset of action and do not need to be soaked, and will allow you to complete the cleaning process in an hour or so.

In short, whether it is disassembled, or with cleaners, after a thorough cleaning, later must develop a good habit of monthly cleaning, tube cleaning can be completed, convenient and simple.

III. What should I do if there is a lot of dirt on the drum wall after cleaning?

For the washing machine is relatively dirty, after the cleaning is completed, it is likely that the cylinder wall will fall a layer of dirt phenomenon.

This is very troublesome, once it is not cleaned up, and later wash the clothes again, the dirt will automatically stick to the clothes, and it always looks like there is a black slag.

For this situation, you can take the following measures to alleviate:

① After cleaning, use a rag to wipe the inner wall several times, and then stuff the washing machine with useless clothes, wash it several times, it will be much better;

② You can buy two or three floating filters, throw them in when washing the machine, most of the scum can be filtered out, reducing the workload of the last rag to wipe, but also to avoid the trouble of wiping when the dirt falls in from the inner tube holes, and is washed out next time you wash your clothes.

Obviously, the longer the dirt accumulates, the more expensive it is to clean, so why not be more diligent and clean the cylinder month after month and make it a lot easier on yourself.

IV . In addition to the inner drum, these 3 locations of the washing machine also need to be cleaned

For drum type washing machine, these places should also be cleaned in time!

1. Liquid filler box.

There are usually three magazines, including the one that puts laundry detergent, the one that puts softener, and the one that puts disinfectant, and if they are not cleaned for a long time, they will also breed bacteria and even mould.

Therefore, it is also necessary to regularly remove the refill box for cleaning. It is easy to remove it by pressing down on the blue position in the centre and pulling out the whole box.

2 . Sewage outlet 

After a long time, here will also gather a lot of dirt, it is recommended that you regularly open the drain port and unscrew the knob to drain the dirty water inside.

After cleaning, then screw on the line.

Just clean it and screw it on.

3. Rubber ring

Because of the double-layer design, the inside of the rubber ring will be easy to accumulate water stains, and there will be black spots over time.

It is suggested that, as long as you use a washing machine, you should open the washing machine door, add liquid mouth, the inside of the rubber ring can be used to remove the mould gel or wipe towel wipe, often maintain a dry state, the washing machine in order to ensure that commonly used often new.
