Modern washing machines are often equipped with a washing drum cleaning feature. You don’t need to buy multiple types of drum cleaners, as with the right method, you can clean everything without spending much.
Why use the drum cleaning mode
With a washing machine that has a drum cleaning mode, detergent residue, bacteria, and mold that can be harmful to the skin will be eliminated. The drum will spin at a higher speed than normal washing, pushing clean water up to the mouth of the drum, and bacteria, dirt, and fabric fluff will be carried away by the water flow and drained through the washing machine’s drain pipe.
Sometimes, if there are large fabric fluff or lint, they will be filtered and collected by the washing machine’s filter or lint tray. It is recommended to remove them from the machine to ensure that there will be no unpleasant odors or mold, and your clothes will always come out clean and fresh after each wash.
However, if your washing machine does not have a drum cleaning mode, the soak function can also be used effectively to clean the machine. The water level and water temperature (cold and hot) can be adjusted to the highest setting.
How to use the drum cleaning mode effectively
The drum cleaning mode is already preset on the washing machine, so it is very simple to use. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Activate the drum cleaning mode
Turn on the power, select the drum cleaning function button (Tub Clean), the name of this function button may vary depending on the manufacturer. Then, press the start button to activate this mode.
Step 2: Clean the washing machine with a specialized cleaning solution
When the washing drum starts to function, the machine will automatically run the cleaning mode. You can add cleaning agents such as baking soda, vinegar, lemon peel, etc. to enhance the ability to clean bacteria and mold in the drum. Just wait until the process is completed.
Notes when using the drum cleaning mode on a washing machine
– It is recommended to use this function on average once a month to optimize the effectiveness of the washing machine. If you provide professional laundry services, it is advisable to perform automatic drum cleaning more frequently to provide convenience for customers and improve the quality of service.
– Drum cleaning also helps to keep clothes fresh, eliminate bacteria, ensure the health of users, and extend the lifespan of the washing machine. The process usually takes about 3-12 hours, so you can set the machine to run this mode in the evening or when you have free time.
– You can add a small amount of specialized cleaning solution to the drum, such as baking soda, vinegar, bleach mixed with warm water, to further clean the drum and remove dirt and residue easily.
