Washing machines can be said to be indispensable helpers in people's daily lives. Many people have the habit of cleaning the washing machine and then covering the lid after using it. Most people believe that this is the correct way, but in fact, the opposite is true. After washing clothes, the lid of the washing machine should not be covered immediately. Experts point out that covering the lid after washing clothes will breed mold. Therefore, after washing clothes, do not cover the lid of the washing machine immediately, but let it dry before covering it.
In recent years, more and more people suffer from skin diseases, which is closely related to the incorrect use of washing machines. After using a new washing machine for 5 months, the amount of mold in the inner drum will start to increase significantly, and these molds usually parasitize in the dirt in the interlayer. Some housewives always have the habit of covering the lid of the washing machine after washing clothes, which will continuously breed molds in the washing machine. This will result in a vicious cycle of more molds as the washing machine is used for a longer time and more clothes are washed.
Compared with washing machines that are covered immediately after washing, washing machines without covers have 40% less mold. The survival environment for mold is below 45°C. When it is in hot water at 45°C, the mold will be killed. However, people usually use cold water to wash clothes, which satisfies the mold's requirement for a living environment, leading to its reproduction.
If people pay attention, they will find that a washing machine will gradually become dirty and unable to rinse clothes properly after prolonged use. This is due to the lack of regular cleaning of the washing machine. In the long run, this will cause pollution to the next batch of clothes to be washed. If people use a washing machine with mold to wash clothes for a long time, it is possible to have cross-infection, leading to various skin diseases. In order to avoid damage to the skin caused by the washing machine, people should change the habit of covering the lid of the washing machine immediately after washing clothes. The correct way is to let the washing machine dry completely in the sun before covering the lid. If the washing machine has not been used for a long time, remember to open the lid and keep the interior of the washing machine dry. In addition, the filter bag should be cleaned and dried outside.
When using a washing machine, the washing drum cover should be opened from time to time to allow the drum to dry and prevent mold growth. After each use, clean the lint filter and regularly clean the water supply outlet, etc. These practices can extend the service life of the washing machine. As long as you follow the maintenance guidelines, the washing machine will be your loyal helper.
Editor's reminder:
After using the washing machine, it should be wiped clean, dried, and the door should be opened to allow water to evaporate and protect the drying inside the washing machine. Try to use the washing machine within the specified washing capacity. This is because an oversized washing capacity will increase the motor load and reduce the service life of the washing machine. When using the washing machine, try to follow the instructions for use and operation in the washing machine's user manual. Avoid placing the washing machine in a damp space as much as possible.
