How to care for the washing machine tub so it doesn't get moldy easily.Maintaining your washing machine drum regularly can help prevent mold growth. Here are some tips for caring for the washing machine tub so it doesn't get moldy:
1. Dry after use.
After finishing using the washing machine, make sure to dry the washing machine drum with a clean cloth. Do not allow moisture to become trapped in the tube, as this can be an ideal environment for mold growth.
2. Leave the door open after use.
When you are finished washing, leave the washing machine door open to allow air to flow into the drum. This helps dry out moisture inside the washer and prevents mold growth.
3. Use antifungal detergent.
Choose a detergent specifically designed to fight mold growth. Use it regularly when washing clothes to kill mold that may be in the washing machine drum.
4. Clean regularly.
Perform periodic cleaning of the washing machine drum using a mixture of water and vinegar or a weak bleach solution. Clean the inside of the tube with a sponge or cloth, then rinse with clean water.
5. Wash clothes at high temperature.
Occasionally, wash clothes at high temperatures (at least 60C) to kill bacteria and fungi that may be in the washing machine drum.
6. Avoid piling wet clothes.
Don't let wet clothes pile up in the washing machine after washing. Remove and dry clothes immediately to prevent excessive moisture in the drum.
7. Check and clean the washer reservoir.
Make sure to check and clean the washer reservoir regularly. Sometimes detergent residue and dirt can get trapped inside, creating an ideal environment for mold growth.
