Note the following points when washing underwear in a machine:

The drum, inner walls, small bags for collecting lint, and gaps between internal parts of the washing machine are all places where dirt and grime accumulate. Therefore, it is best to check whether the washing machine has any peculiar smell or mold before washing. If so, you should first use clean water or an appropriate amount of 84 disinfectant to "bathe" the washing machine before starting washing clothes.

2. After using the washing machine, do not cover the lid immediately. It is best to let it ventilate first and dry it before covering it. If the washing machine is not used for a long time (for example, one or two months), it should be cleaned with detergent or disinfectant before use.

Generally, a newly purchased washing machine should be cleaned and disinfected every two or three months after being used for half a year.
