Washing machines are a good helper to help people get good at home hygiene. However, Japanese researchers have found that washing machines are actually a bit dirty. In recent years, skin irritation and increased skin allergies have a lot to do with washing machines.

Mr. Hamada, the director of the Osaka City Environmental Science Research Institute, visited many dermatologists and investigated the amount of mold contained in washing machines used in more than 150 ordinary households. The results showed that there were almost all mold spores in these washing machines. The sewage discharged from the fully automatic washing machine contains an average of 61 mold spores per ml; the sewage discharged from the two-cylinder washing machine has an average of 24 mold spores per ml.

The interior of the washing machine is damp and easy to breed saprophytic mold. This type of mold is very heat-resistant and will die in hot water at around 45 ° C. However, in order to save energy, households rarely wash clothes with hot water, causing mold to multiply inside the laundry tank.

After the mold hits the water, the spores are released and attached to the clothes. The more you wash, the more mold spores on your clothes. Kazuyuki Sasaki of the Japan Anti-Mold and Mildew Society conducted an experiment in which he used used bath towels, adult male socks that passed only one day, and children's underwear that passed only one day into the washing machine, and cleaned with a completely non-sterilizing detergent. These clothes are then dried indoors.

As a result, about 1 mg of bacteria was extracted from bath towels, socks, and underpants. Although these bacteria do not cause a large disease, they are likely to cause local skin itching, redness and other symptoms. For those who are allergic to the skin, the mold in the washing machine will cause more damage to them, and the skin irritation caused by mold may last longer.

Therefore, experts believe that in order to avoid damage to the skin caused by the washing machine, the following measures can be taken: washing socks, dirty outerwear and underwear separately; using washing powder with sterilization function; washing clothes with hot water of about 50 °C, using drying Machine, use high temperature to kill mold; do not soak clothes for a long time, wash clothes after drying in time; dry clothes as much as possible in the sun, use ultraviolet light in the sun to kill mold; often open the lid of the washing machine to keep it dry.
