How Dirty Is The Washing Machine? We'll Open It Up For You To See

You know what? The washing machine that cleans our clothes every day actually gets dirty; And washing machines also need to be cleaned regularly.
When does a washing machine start to accumulate dirt and grime? Where do all these dirt come from? We have chosen a washing machine that has only been in use for three years and specially invited a professional washing machine cleaner to disassemble it. Below, we will reveal the answer to the question together.
According to the disassembly requirements, the master dismantled the inner and outer barrels.
It can be seen that there is no accumulation of dirt on the inner cylinder, while the outer wall is "unbearable to look at". Especially in the interlayer of the inner and outer buckets, there are not only black lumps formed by dust on the clothes, but also some cotton fluff and hair accumulated during the laundry process. In addition, there are also some residues of scale and softener, which have a strong odor.
In our communication with the cleaning master, we learned that under normal use, a new washing machine will start to accumulate dirt and stains after about six months, and the dirt is mostly hidden in the gaps between the inner and outer buckets of the washing machine. But many consumers have not paid attention to the daily maintenance and upkeep of this area.
Long term use of unwashed washing machines can not only lead to bacterial growth, but also cause skin itching and other symptoms for people with sensitive skin.
Therefore, it is recommended that consumers enhance their cleaning awareness during normal use. In addition to choosing a cleaning technician for on-site service, they can also regularly use washing machine cleaning agents to clean themselves. In addition, the self-cleaning function of the drum should be utilized more to assist cleaning agents in daily maintenance of the washing machine.
Washing machine cleaning solution test
Master assembles washing machine
In addition to hiring professional technicians to come and clean, washing machine cleaning agents are also a great choice. We will reassemble the disassembled washing machine and see if the Dettol washing machine cleaning solution can clean up these dirt.
Select the self-cleaning mode of the cylinder
According to the usage requirements, we first left the washing machine in an empty state (without adding clothes or laundry detergent). Next, pour the Dettol washing machine cleaning solution into the detergent addition port, use the self-cleaning mode, and select a water temperature of 60 ℃. In addition, if the washing machine does not have a self-cleaning mode, running the complete washing and bleaching program is sufficient.
During the cleaning process, a lot of visible dirt is discharged along with the water flow.
Comparison before and after using washing machine cleaner
Through testing, it can be seen that the black dirt and scale mold spots that have just clumped have clearly peeled off, and the comparison before and after is very obvious. The odor from the washing machine's inner tub disappeared, accompanied by a faint lemon scent.
Compared with traditional washing machine cleaners, the most prominent advantage of Dettol is that it does not require soaking and can clean washing machines in all directions! Through the rotation of the washing machine and the flow of water, thoroughly clean various parts of the washing machine.
Professional personnel composition analysis
In addition, we also collaborated with the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine Sciences to conduct component analysis and testing on washing machine cleaning machines.
According to Liu Chang, the director of the China Inspection and Quarantine Science Research Institute, the main component of washing machine slot cleaners on the market is percarbonate, which is reactive oxygen species. To clean the interlayer of a washing machine, the penetration and cleaning power of the cleaning agent must be good.
summary
Both the disassembly and cleaning tests mentioned above aim to remind consumers of the importance of regular cleaning of washing machines.
With the increasing awareness of consumer health, the washing environment of clothing, such as whether the inner and outer buckets are clean, should also receive more attention.
A clean washing machine is necessary to ensure the cleaning effect of clothes. In addition to hiring professional technicians to clean clothes every year, using washing machine cleaning agents can also ensure the daily cleanliness of the washing machine. For example, you can regularly use Dettol, a washing machine cleaner, to clean yourself once, shorten the growth cycle of bacteria as much as possible, effectively inhibit the growth and accumulation of dirt, and avoid the possibility of secondary pollution of clothing.
