Baking soda washing machines do have certain uses, which are reflected in the following aspects:
1. Cleaning effect: Baking soda has a good cleaning effect. When diluted with water, its weak alkalinity can help remove stains and dirt inside the washing machine, including scale and insoluble soap deposits. This helps to keep the interior of the washing machine clean and improve washing efficiency.
2. Deodorizing effect: During long-term use, washing machines may accumulate some odors. Baking soda has a deodorizing effect, which can neutralize and remove these odors, keeping the inside of the washing machine fresh.
3. Environmental Protection and Health: Compared to some chemical cleaners, baking soda is a relatively environmentally friendly choice. It will not cause serious pollution to the environment and also help reduce the residual chemical substances inside the washing machine, making it more friendly to the health of users.
However, although baking soda has a certain cleaning and deodorizing effect, it may not completely remove all hidden dirt and bacteria inside the washing machine. Especially for some structurally complex and difficult to reach parts, such as the outer drum wall and under the turntable of a drum washing machine, more professional cleaning methods may be required. While using baking soda to clean the washing machine, it is also possible to consider combining other cleaning methods or regularly hiring professionals for deep cleaning.
If there is serious dirt or odor inside the washing machine, it is recommended to first identify the root cause of the problem and take appropriate measures to ensure cleaning effectiveness and safe use.
