These 8 Bad Habits Of Using A Drum Washing Machine Not Only Fail To Clean Clothes, But Also Damage The Machine!

Drum washing machines are highly favored by young people due to their high appearance.
But do you really know enough about the washing machine used to clean clothes every day?
The answer is negative, because it seems very clear that there are often instances of using "bad habits", which not only make clothes unclean but also damage the machine.
Therefore, today Qi Jia'an will give a detailed explanation. Let's take a look together!
1, Transport screws not removed
The back of the drum washing machine comes with four transport screws, but most people don't know, thinking they are fixing the washing machine components and cannot be easily removed.
Once such a wrong decision is made, if it is not removed and used directly, the inner bucket will get stuck, and the motor will start and the inner bucket will not be able to rotate, causing the washing machine to follow suit. There may even be situations where the motor is burned out.
To understand the principle, it is actually quite simple. The washing machine is always accompanied by significant shaking during transportation, and the shaft behind the inner barrel of the washing machine may be broken due to shaking, resulting in serious damage.
To ensure that the washing machine will not be damaged during transportation, it is fixed with transport screws and can be removed during installation.
2, Habitually soaking clothes overnight before washing
The older generation is accustomed to soaking themselves overnight before washing, saying that clothes will be washed cleaner. The reason is that during soaking overnight, the stains on clothes will decompose on their own.
Once young people accept this washing method, they will directly soak their clothes in a drum washing machine overnight and then start cleaning the next day.
Little did they know that such bad habits of use can make clothes smell bad, and over time, it can also cause clothes to fade and age.
It is recommended that the soaking time should not be too long, and should be controlled within 15-30 minutes.
3, Using laundry detergent to wash clothes
Although there are laundry detergent and laundry beads available now, after using them for a period of time, everyone knows that these items are not only expensive, but also have less cleaning ability than laundry detergent.
So, I just put laundry detergent directly into the drum washing machine to clean clothes, and I don't usually pay attention to it.
Once you have such bad habits of use, you will find that the inner and outer sides of the drum washing machine are full of undissolved laundry detergent, with a thick layer that has become moldy.
The reason is that cold water cannot completely dissolve laundry detergent, and the undissolved ones will stick to the inner wall of the washing machine, causing mold and unhygienic conditions, which can affect the lifespan of the washing machine.
Moreover, residual particles or traces can be found on clothing.
So, I advise everyone not to use laundry detergent directly in drum washing machines.
If you really like to use it, first put the clothes in a warm water basin, add laundry detergent, rub the clothes by hand, and then put them in the washing machine for direct cleaning without the need for additional laundry detergent.
4, Using high foaming detergent
Since there are still so many operations to use laundry detergent, it's better to use laundry detergent directly. If it's more expensive, it's more expensive.
I believe this is the idea of many young people, as long as it is easy.
However, many people only consider the brand and price when purchasing laundry detergent, ignoring the very important high and low foam indices.
This problem was not discovered until it was found that the washing machine "vomited" directly and the full sun table was full of foam.
At that time, I would also post on my social media circle, saying that I had drunk too much on my washing machine, which attracted many interesting comments.
In fact, this is a bad habit of using a drum washing machine and also using the wrong laundry detergent.
The impact on the washing machine is not only that it bubbles outward, but also that it can be damaged.
So, high foaming laundry detergent must not be used; Even if using low foaming laundry detergent, the amount should be controlled. If there is too much, there may be problems with incomplete rinsing.
5, Use laundry detergent and disinfectant together
I believe that when most people use a drum washing machine, the laundry detergent and disinfectant are placed together, and then the washing machine cleaning function is turned on for the convenience of cleaning.
But in fact, this is a wrong practice and a bad habit of using a drum washing machine, which has an impact on the cleanliness of clothing cleaning.
Because laundry detergent contains non-ionic surfactants and enzyme preparations, these components will react with p-chlorophenol in disinfectant, thereby affecting the effectiveness of sterilization and cleaning.
The ideal is 1+1>2, but in reality, 1+1<2 has the opposite effect.
So, different cleaning products should be placed according to the marked positions in the laundry box slot to ensure the cleanliness of clothing cleaning.
6, Keeping pets at home
Many young people like to keep pets at home, such as kittens, puppies, etc.
These pets all have a characteristic: they lose a lot of hair every day, and all the hair on the sofa, bed, and clothes at home is shed by the pets.
Little did they know that this is also one of the bad habits of using a drum washing machine,
Because pet hair can easily stick to clothes, and drum washing machines do not have the function of filtering hair, the clothes washed out are like this, still a pile of hair.
That's also why families who don't keep pets can't see such problems when washing clothes with a drum washing machine.
So, for families that keep pets, if using a drum washing machine, they must be paired with a heat pump dryer to directly solve the problem of hair collection.
7, Self-cleaning agent
Regardless of the style of washing machine, after using it for a period of time, it is necessary to turn on the self-cleaning function to ensure the cleanliness of clothing cleaning.
However, when self-cleaning a drum washing machine, there are always people who like to put cleaning agents inside, saying that this way of cleaning will be cleaner.
Little did they know that this was a wrong practice and a bad habit of using washing machines.
Because the self-cleaning function of the drum washing machine is achieved through high-temperature hot water and high-speed water flow to flush the interlayer between the inner and outer cylinders during operation, high temperature and high speed are sufficient to clean the washing machine and achieve efficient cleaning and disinfection.
Even if a cleaning agent is added, when the water flow reaches a high temperature of 90 degrees Celsius during the self-cleaning process of the cylinder, it can disrupt the reaction between the enzymes and dirt of the cleaning agent itself. This cleaning agent is also ineffective and can cause waste~
8, Close the door after washing
Most people have developed the habit of closing the washing machine door after washing clothes.
This habit looks good, but in fact, it is a bad habit. Over time, it can cause serious mold growth in rubber gaskets.
So, after washing clothes, you cannot immediately close the door. You need to ventilate for at least an hour to allow the water vapor inside to completely evaporate before closing the door.
Also, dry the water vapor on the door glass and the water inside the rubber ring.
In addition, regularly clean the material box and the bottom drain outlet.
Only by doing so can we ensure that there is no odor or mold inside the washing machine.
Through the detailed explanation above, I believe I have a clearer understanding of how to use a drum washing machine correctly.
