The disease prevention and control department conducted a sample survey of bacterial contamination of washing machines that had been used for more than half a year. The total number of bacteria in the washing machine exceeded 81.3%, and the total coliform detection rate was 100%. The mold detection rate was 60.2%, the main reason for this phenomenon is that the washing machine tank is polluted. The survey also showed that 60.2% of the molds detected in the inner tank of the washing machine can cause fungal vaginal inflammation and other gynecological diseases and molds, which are harmful to women during pregnancy, and can cause ankles, handcuffs, nail files, A variety of skin diseases such as tinea versicolor. For infants and young children, because of their poor resistance to bacteria, skin problems such as eczema or allergies are more likely to occur.
According to reports, the washing machine tank is located in the gap between the inner and outer cylinders of the washing machine that people can't usually see. It is a "bacterial barrier" that cannot be eliminated by traditional towel wiping or open lid ventilation. Even when people wash clothes, even if they put in more The disinfectant also does not solve the cleaning problem of the washing machine tank. Health experts pointed out that people in modern society have gradually developed the habit of using laundry disinfectants when washing clothes.

Serious secondary pollution of clothing.

The human body wears secondary contaminated clothing and is extremely susceptible to infection by germs. In particular, special groups such as the elderly and infants, pregnant women, are more susceptible to pathogens because of their weaker resistance. For example, mold can cause a variety of skin diseases such as ankles, handcuffs, nail files, and tinea versicolor; it can also cause gynecological diseases such as fungal vaginal inflammation. Especially for pregnant women, mold infection can easily lead to miscarriage. Premature birth, etc. It’s terrible to watch.
Some strains are not necessarily eliminated even by drying, especially in underwear, which is very dangerous for women. Therefore, it is recommended that women wash their underwear with hand-washing, use soap, do not use enzyme washing powder. Especially pregnant women, lactating women, should pay more attention. At the same time, the washing machine should be placed in a ventilated, bright place, pay attention to the underwear and the jacket to wash separately to reduce the cross-contamination of the clothes.
