Research shows that if the washing machine is not cleaned regularly, the number of bacteria can increase to a worrying level in just half a year. When washing clothes, bacteria and dirt from the washing machine can make clothes dirtier.
Washing machine cleaning tips:
You can use white vinegar and baking soda to clean the washing machine. White vinegar helps soften stains, disinfect and improve cleaning efficiency, while baking soda is a natural detergent that disinfects, deodorizes, and whitens.
First, soak a towel in white vinegar and put it in the washing machine. The acid in the vinegar will penetrate into the nooks and crannies of the washing machine, soften stains and kill bacteria. Next, add a small amount of baking soda to the washing machine and select the washing mode. After finishing, the waste water is discharged, making the washing machine cleaner.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator is an essential appliance in every family, used mainly to preserve food. Many people often only pay attention to cleaning the compartments inside but ignore an equally important part: the rubber gasket of the refrigerator.
Rubber gaskets that have not been cleaned for a long time and are in a humid environment can easily become a place for bacteria and mold to grow. The black spots that appear on the gasket are not ordinary dirt but mold, which can contaminate food in the refrigerator if not cleaned promptly.
Mold contains aflatoxin, a powerful carcinogen that is dangerous to health.
Tips for cleaning refrigerator rubber gaskets:
You can use alcohol and coca to clean rubber gaskets. Alcohol has a disinfecting effect, while the acid in coca can effectively dissolve mold.
