The emergence of large-scale laundry equipment has freed the hands of working women, significantly advancing societal civilization. As industrial laundry machines become increasingly well-known, a new issue has drawn people's attention—namely, the hygiene concerns associated with these large-scale laundry devices themselves.
Everyone knows that large-scale laundry equipment is designed for washing clothes. However, if the equipment itself is not regularly disinfected and sterilized after prolonged use, it can inadvertently cause secondary contamination of the garments—especially in settings like hotel laundry facilities and public spaces such as hospitals. Over time, dust, lint, dirt, and detergent residues accumulate inside these machines, creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. These tiny microorganisms can lead to various health issues, including athlete's foot, skin allergies, asthma, rhinitis, and even gynecological problems. Moreover, the high temperature and humidity levels inside large laundry equipment further exacerbate bacterial growth, providing the perfect environment for harmful pathogens to thrive.
According to media reports, inspections of household top-loading, fully automatic large-capacity washing machines that have been in use for more than three years without undergoing any cleaning revealed alarming results: the bacterial contamination rate within these machines reached as high as 81.30%. Specifically, E. coli was detected at a 100% rate in the recessed areas along the outer walls of the machine's inner drum, while mold was found in 60.20% of the units. Notably, the levels of harmful bacteria in these machines were even up to 500 times higher than those typically found in toilets.
Large laundry appliances were among the first automated household devices to enter homes, achieving extremely high adoption rates. Although today, large laundry equipment undergoes frequent upgrades and replacements, surveys indicate that the average lifespan of such appliances is around six years. Furthermore, the same survey reveals that only about 30% of users perform regular cleaning and disinfection throughout the appliance's entire lifecycle. Among these users, the majority wait as long as six months between wash cycles, while those who regularly disinfect their appliances—typically every two months—are a very small minority.
Many users lack knowledge about how to clean large-scale laundry equipment. They generally believe that cleaning such equipment requires professional assistance and often involves disassembly—processes that are not only cumbersome but also risk causing damage, ultimately increasing operational costs.
Today, however, cleaning large laundry machines has become remarkably simple: just purchase a specialized disinfectant designed for industrial-grade laundry equipment, and then follow the same washing procedures used for regular clothes. This method is both safe and convenient. Not only does it significantly reduce costs and deliver excellent cleaning results, but it also ensures the health and well-being of your entire family.
