The Washing Machine Is Dirty And Drains Black Water? Add White Vinegar To This Trick And It Will Easily Wash Like New Ones.

The weather has been getting cooler recently, and thick clothes and thick quilts used to keep warm at home have been used alternately, resulting in a significant increase in the frequency of use of the washing machine.

When I was washing clothes a few days ago, I noticed that the water flowing out of the drain pipe was a little black. I smelled it carefully, and I also smelled a faint musty smell.

Only then did I realize that this two-year-old washing machine had probably never been thoroughly cleaned.

After searching on the Internet, there are indeed many people who have the same problem as me. Some experts in the field of dermatology even mentioned that in recent years, the number of people with itchy skin and allergies has increased. This is closely related to the fact that the inside of the washing machine has not been cleaned for a long time, resulting in a large number of bacteria. This relationship is inseparable.

It seems that "bathing" the washing machine regularly is not a trivial matter.

How important is a clean washing machine?

Many people think that because the washing machine comes into contact with water and laundry detergent every day, the inside of the washing machine should be relatively clean.

This is not the case. We usually take off the things we take off when washing clothes, such as lint and dander. On this basis, plus the humid environment. Under such circumstances, it is especially easy for dirt to form in invisible places of the washing machine, such as the outer wall of the inner barrel, rubber rings, drain pipes, etc.

Over time, this dirt becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.

When you use a washing machine like this to wash and dry clothes, the surface of the clothes may seem clean at first glance. However, a considerable number of microorganisms may have adhered to it. When it comes into contact with the skin, it is very easy to cause problems such as itching and rashes.

Therefore, regular deep cleaning of the washing machine will not only keep the machine in good condition, but it is also a responsibility for the health of your family's skin.

General cleaning methods for top-loading and front-loading washing machines

There are many tips for cleaning washing machines circulating on the Internet. I tried many of them and found that the simplest and most effective method is to use white vinegar, which is commonly available at home.

Prepare about 3 cups of white vinegar and pour it into hot water with a temperature of about 50 degrees. Be careful not to make the water temperature too high, otherwise it will cause damage to the plastic parts of the washing machine.

Then, pour the white vinegar water into the washing machine bucket until the water reaches about half of the washing machine.

Let the washing machine sit for half an hour to allow the white vinegar to fully soften the dirt that adheres to the inner barrel.

After half an hour, adjust the washing machine to the maximum power so that the bucket can complete one wash cycle normally.

First, wait until the drainage is completed, and then use clean water to run the rinsing process alone to completely and completely remove the remaining white vinegar smell.

After completing this cleaning, open the lid of the washing machine. Not only is there no odor lingering in it, but even the wall of the barrel is shiny, making you feel like you just bought it.

Special care for front-loading washing machine door seals

For those who use a front-loading washing machine at home, in addition to using the above-mentioned methods to clean the inside of the barrel, there is another place that is easily overlooked, which is the rubber ring on the door that acts as a seal.

This area is prone to water accumulation. Over time, the folds will be filled with black mold spots and stains.

Its cleaning operation is not complicated. First prepare a cup of white vinegar, and then add 5 to 6 drops of your favorite essential oil, such as tea tree essential oil or lemon essential oil, into it. In this way, it will not only enhance the cleaning effect, but also leave a pleasant smell.

Find a soft-bristled toothbrush that is no longer in use, then dip it in the prepared white vinegar mixture, and then carefully scrub along the folds of the sealing ring.

When the mildew spots are relatively stubborn, you can gently brush them a few more times to allow the white vinegar to stay here for a while before brushing again.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after brushing.

After this round of cleaning, the entire washing machine feels fresh from the inside out.

Three little habits in daily use

To keep your washing machine clean for a long time, in addition to regular and comprehensive cleaning, daily usage habits are also crucial.

Whenever you finish washing clothes, it is best to open the door of the washing machine and the detergent box at the same time, so that the moisture inside can be dried naturally, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria due to humid environment.

When washing clothes, don't overstuff the clothes because of the large quantity. As a result, the clothes lack sufficient room for rolling in the bucket. In this way, not only will the clothes not be washed clean, but dirt will easily remain on the wall of the bucket.

In addition, there are currently cleaning agents on the market specifically for washing machine tanks, which can be used every one or two months as a daily maintenance method, which can effectively reduce the accumulation of dirt.

These small habits can greatly extend the cleaning cycle of your washing machine.

In fact, cleaning the washing machine is not as troublesome as imagined.

It takes more than half an hour and can be done with the white vinegar that is always available at home.

Looking at the washing machine that is as clean as brand new, I recall that all the clothes washed out are fresh and fresh, and I feel much safer and more at ease inside.

As the season changes and the number of laundry operations increases, why not give the laundry machine at home a thorough cleaning?
