Washing machine is a very popular household appliance that we all own, it can be said to be a great lifesaver that helps people save a lot of time and effort. Because all you have to do is put dirty clothes into the washing machine, add detergent/laundry powder and press a few start buttons, then wait for the washing cycle to complete and you can take the clothes to dry.
Although washing machines are very easy to use, there are many misunderstandings in the process of using them. So, do not do these things when using the washing machine, otherwise clothes will be washed in vain.
Washing underwear together with regular clothes
Many people have the habit of washing underwear together with regular clothes. However, everyday clothes come into contact with the outside environment and therefore accumulate a lot of dirt. If you wash underwear together with these clothes, it will make the underwear even dirtier, which can cause unknown infections.
Not to mention, washing underwear together with regular clothes can also cause bacteria from underwear to spread to regular clothes. According to scientists’ estimations, there are about 10,000 microorganisms in “clean” underwear, and this number will increase when the underwear is dirty.
Moreover, washing adult and children’s clothes together will have a bad effect on the sensitive skin of children and also spread diseases such as skin diseases, fungal infections, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. between family members. Therefore, you should not wash underwear together with regular clothes, but wash them separately.
Putting detergent, fabric softener directly into the washing drum
Most washing machines have a detergent tray, with separate compartments for detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. So please put the detergent in the right tray, absolutely do not put it in the wrong tray, for example, putting detergent in the fabric softener tray, the detergent will be poured into the bleach tray, if not the effectiveness of cleaning clothes will not be high.
Also, do not put detergent/fabric softener directly into the washing drum. This way can easily fade the color of clothes, make the color bleed or deposit detergent residue on clothes or in the washing drum.
In case there is no detergent tray, you can dissolve the detergent/fabric softener in a basin of water. Next, pour the dissolved water into the washing machine and choose the appropriate wash cycle.
Finishing washing clothes without drying immediately
Sometimes we put clothes into the washing machine, wash them, and then do other things and forget to take the washed clothes out of the washing machine. Or, many people have the habit of washing clothes in the evening and drying them in the morning.
However, if the clothes are not taken out of the washing machine in time after washing, bacteria can easily thrive. Clothes should be re-washed if left in the washing machine for a few hours.
Closing the washing machine immediately after washing
After washing and removing the clothes, we often unconsciously close the washing machine door, not only to prevent obstruction of the passage, but also to prevent dust from entering the drum. But the correct way is to leave the washing machine door open for a while (about 30 minutes – 1 hour) for the moisture inside the washing machine to evaporate completely before closing it.
If the washing machine is closed immediately after washing, especially with front-loading washing machines, the moisture will still be trapped inside, creating conditions for bacteria to proliferate and causing a foul odor.
Have you made any of the above mistakes when using the washing machine? In addition to paying attention to these things, you also need to clean the washing machine regularly. Although the washing drum looks clean, it actually contains a lot of dirt like the outside of the drum, the filter tray, the detergent tray, and the rubber gasket of the washing machine.
If not cleaned regularly, these dirt will flow into the washing drum with the water while washing and adhere to the clothes, making the clothes dirtier the more they are washed.
