Young people are too quick to embrace new things!
It's a compliment, but it can also be problematic in many cases. For example, the 5 habits of using household appliances that I want to talk about today: it seems to be more hygienic, but I don't know that it will bring some "side effects" in the long run.
If you have these habits, remember to correct them as soon as possible.
.01 Washing machine - self-cleaning of the tube
Today's washing machines are almost equipped with a self-cleaning function as standard, and the name may be slightly different, but the principle is the same: start after adding clean water, and drain the water after a while.
Many people use this feature on a regular basis, thinking that the washing machine will be clean.
Unfortunately, the self-cleaning of the drum only cleans the inner wall of the washing cylinder, not the outer wall of the washing cylinder, and cannot clean the deeper details. Slightly sticky stains stick to the inner wall and cannot be cleaned up.
It is a fool's practice to ignore other cleaning methods with "self-cleaning".
"Tube self-cleaning" can't clean the area
So when using a washing machine, you should pay attention to:
(1) Buy a little self-cleaning detergent (non-foaming) to strengthen the self-cleaning ability of the tube.
(2) The filter screen, detergent box, and door sealing strip of the laundry tube are all places where dirt and dirt are hidden, and they need to be cleaned manually.
.02 Air conditioner – self-cleaning
Air conditioners also have a cleaning method similar to the self-cleaning of washing machine barrels, called "self-cleaning". Its cleaning principle is a little more advanced, roughly divided into four steps: condensation, frosting, high temperature, and drying.
Through the generation, freezing, and melting of condensate, the dust inside the air conditioner is taken away.
Different air conditioners have slightly different functional names
Air conditioner cleaning is right, but "self-cleaning" alone is not enough: self-cleaning is only to clean the evaporator, condenser and pipes of the air conditioner to avoid mold in these places and cause secondary pollution to the air.
But these are not the only places that can pollute the air:
The most critical place is the filter - if the filter is dirty, it may lead to a series of problems such as water leakage and poor cooling efficiency of the indoor unit. Therefore, despite the self-cleaning function, the traditional cleaning process is still indispensable:
• It is recommended to clean the filter of the indoor unit of the air conditioner once a month. The cleaning process is as simple as pulling out the strainer and rinsing it under the faucet.
.03 Smart toilet seat – IPX4
I found that young people are very afraid of dirty, and even dislike dirty things when they clean up. I rarely see young people cleaning toilets, they are more accustomed to flushing toilets directly with spray guns and other tools.
But if you install a smart toilet seat, it won't work with a spray gun:
The toilet seat is IPX4 rated for water and dust resistance
What is this concept? The toilet lid also reminds you that you can't flush it with water! Many people have also seen this warning, so they either pretend not to see it, or simply don't brush the toilet seat.
"No brushing" is definitely not good, the degree of dirtiness of the toilet seat, I guess I don't need to say more.
If you continue to flush with water, you will find that the toilet seat will soon break, and it is man-made damage, which is not within the scope of the three packs.
How to clean the smart toilet seat?
(1) When buying a toilet seat, pay attention to the waterproof level and buy IPX6 products.
(2) Endure the nausea, wipe the toilet lid with a rag little by little, and control the amount of water consumed.
.04 Electric Water Heater – Long-term high temperature
Young people take a bath for a significantly longer period of time than older people. This does not mean that young people love cleanliness more, but that young people know how to enjoy life more: standing under the oversized shower to flush is really cool!
But then comes the problem: there is not enough hot water!
It's hard for young people either, because we all know that you have to mix cold water with hot water when you take a bath. As long as you turn up the temperature of the hot water and mix it with more cold water, you can get more bath water~
But don't be too happy too soon, it's problematic to do that-
Setting high temperatures for a long time will accelerate the formation of limescale. Limescale can affect the heating speed of an electric water heater, clog hot water pipes, and even cause a series of skin problems.
For a larger amount of hot water, it's best to do this:
(1) The first choice is the gas water heater, which has no water limit.
(2) Usually reduce the temperature of the electric water heater (not more than 55°C) and increase it before taking a bath.
(3) Buy an electric water heater with a high hot water output rate and fast heating speed, and take a bath while boiling water.
.05 Washing machine - laundry separately
I often see similar comments in various comment areas: socks (underwear) and coats are put in the washing machine together......
At this time, I wanted to say, is it really clean when the clothes are washed?
I know many people wash their clothes separately: they feel that their socks are not clean, or they are afraid that their underwear will be contaminated.
If you look at it from another angle, if they are all put in the same washing machine, is it clean? If they can all be washed, what if they are washed together?
So this kind of behavior is completely covering your ears and stealing the bell, if you are really afraid of dirty, you should pay attention to four points:
(1) Buy two more washing machines, and wash your coat, socks, and underwear in three washing machines.
(2) Or buy a bucket of disinfectant for clothes, and pour some disinfectant when there are underwear and socks in the washing machine to ensure that they can be washed in the end.
(3) When washing underwear and socks, do not use the quick wash mode of the washing machine, the cleaning strength is not enough. At the very least, use the daily wash mode, and if possible, it is best to use a strong mode such as heat wash.
(4) Clean the washing machine regularly, see Article 1 above for details.
