Potential risks of plugging the drainage hose into the floor drain

Plugging the washing machine’s drainage hose into the floor drain is actually not the correct method. Here are the risks you may face when adopting this habit:

Easy bacteria growth

When you plug the washing machine’s drainage hose into the floor drain, dirt and bacteria from the drain pipes can flow back into the washing machine’s drainage hose. This results in clothes becoming dirtier with each wash and negatively affects skin health when wearing clothes that have been contaminated.

Risk of unpleasant odors

One of the most common places for unpleasant odors to develop in the house is the drainage system. Many families often neglect cleaning the pipes, and over time, residues accumulate and produce a foul smell. When the washing machine’s drainage hose is plugged into the floor drain, this odor can transfer to the washing machine, causing a bad smell on clothes.
