At least half of users tend to close the lid of the washing machine after it finishes, as they believe this can protect the machine. But is this really accurate?
However, experts suggest that after finishing washing clothes, you should not close the lid immediately, as bacteria can easily breed inside. Afterwards, the bacteria will cling to the clothes, even though they are freshly washed and dried, you can still experience itching when wearing them. In fact, this advice is entirely correct and has a basis. It can be explained as follows:
After finishing washing, you may see that the inside of the washing tub is very clean and no longer damp, so you will close the lid. However, this approach is very mistaken and can have negative consequences. In reality, the inner layer of the washing machine still contains water. If the water cannot escape completely and you close the lid, then the bacteria cannot escape and will quickly multiply inside the washing tub. Therefore, when you wash clothes in subsequent times, it is very easy to contract skin diseases.
Therefore, do not rush to close the lid after using the washing machine, and keep it well-ventilated. It is best to regularly clean the washing machine, disinfect the washing tub, and ensure that the filters are cleaned regularly to minimize the development of bacteria, which can affect your health and your family’s health.
