① The secondary pollution of the washing machine is serious, and disinfection and bacteria prevention are very necessary.
The rollers, inner walls, small bags for storing wool balls, and the connecting gaps between internal parts of a washing machine are all places where dirt can be hidden.

If so, you should first "wash" the washing machine with clean water or an appropriate amount of 84 disinfectant water, and then start washing.
② After using the washing machine, do not immediately cover it. It is best to let it ventilate and blow dry before covering it.
