The correct way to clean the inside of a washing machine.

Cleaning a washing machine not only extends the life of the appliance but also protects laundry hygiene. This article details how to correctly clean the inner drum, drain pipe, and filter net, and emphasizes the importance of professional maintenance to prevent bacterial growth.

Cleaning a washing machine requires regular filter inspection and running an empty wash program using detergent according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Be careful never to dismantle circuit components yourself. If the drain pipe is severely clogged, please seek 壹家壹清潔專家 to provide professional repair and cleaning services.

Washing Machine Internal Cleaning Guidelines

The inside of a washing machine easily hides lint and bacteria. Before cleaning the washing machine, make sure to turn off the power. Please read the original maintenance guidelines for your washing machine, select the recommended type of detergent, and confirm it is suitable for your machine model. Do not use excessive chemicals to avoid damaging sensors or plastic parts.

  1. Turn off the appliance's power.
  2. Refer to the original guidelines to select cleaning products.
  3. Set the cleaning program to run an empty wash.

Filter and Inner Drum Maintenance

The washing machine filter is the first line of defense for collecting debris and should be removed and cleaned regularly. If the filter accumulates too much lint or is damaged, it is recommended to replace it with original parts. For the inner drum, if there is buildup, simply wipe it with a soft cloth and detergent; do not use rough steel wool to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface.

  1. Remove and check the condition of the filter.
  2. Clean the filter with clean water and a soft brush.
  3. If the filter is damaged, it should be replaced with a new one.

Drain Pipe Cleaning and Ventilation

A clogged drain hose will affect spin-drying efficiency. Check the drain hose for debris buildup; if the issue is not external, do not force open the internal circuits of the machine. After washing, it is recommended to keep the washing machine door half-open to allow internal moisture to evaporate naturally and prevent mold growth.

  1. Check the external drain hose for blockages.
  2. Keep the machine door ventilated after washing.
  3. If the pipe blockage is severe, contact a professional technician.
