Infants and newborns, with their underdeveloped immune systems, are highly susceptible to harmful bacteria in their surroundings. Therefore, it's crucial to be mindful of washing and storing clothes to protect your baby.
1. Washing and Preserving Baby's Clothes for Protection
Infants and newborns, with their underdeveloped immune systems, are highly susceptible to harmful bacteria in their surroundings. Therefore, it's crucial to be mindful of washing and storing clothes to protect your baby.
Achieve 99.9% Bacterial-Free Clothes with Steam Washing
Some believe that washing clothes with hot water is more effective in killing bacteria. In reality, this method often causes fading and fabric shrinkage, making clothes look old and damaged. Nowadays, many leading washing machine brands introduce Steam Washing technology instead of using hot water.
Steam Washing - 99.9% Bacterial-Free Standard for Health Protection
Notable is the Steam Washing technology of Samsung washing machines, proven to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and allergens, certified by the International Testing Institute Intertek. Common harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli (causing diarrhea and intestinal diseases), Staphylococcus (causing skin infections and immune system reduction), and allergens are thoroughly destroyed, providing peace of mind for the whole family.
Specifically, Samsung's washer-dryer line is equipped with the AirWash drying mode that uses hot air to deodorize and kill 99.9% of bacteria on clothes, blankets, and sheets, as certified by Intertek.
Keep the Washing Drum Hygienic
It's not just about clothes; the washing drum, where clothes are processed, also needs to be bacteria-free. After washing, detergent or rinse water residues will accumulate, creating conditions for bacteria and mold to grow. Neglecting regular drum hygiene can seriously harm both your clothes and your health.
Regular Drum Hygiene to Prevent Bacterial Growth
Most new-generation machines often come with a drum hygiene mode. For instance, Samsung washing machines have the Eco Drum Clean mode, which automatically notifies when hygiene is needed, and the machine cleans the drum without the need for wiping or using specialized cleaning chemicals. This is extremely convenient and saves a considerable amount of effort and time for busy mothers. If the machine doesn't have an automatic hygiene mode, mothers can use white vinegar or bleach to soak and clean the drum.
Choosing a washing machine that effectively dissolves detergent, ensuring efficient washing without residue, also helps limit bacterial growth.
Presently, most washing machines only allow users to pour detergent into the dispenser and directly into the drum, resulting in clothes not being thoroughly cleaned, and the drum accumulating a lot of residue. Some machines support a dedicated compartment that dissolves water with detergent, but it still cannot completely solve the issue. Only Samsung's exclusive EcoBubble technology equips a mechanism that dissolves detergent into ultra-fine bubbles that penetrate 40 times more effectively than usual, enhancing deep cleaning without leaving residue.
Lastly, keeping the drum well-ventilated is also a way to minimize conditions for bacteria and mold growth. Mothers can open the washing machine door or, more conveniently, use the Samsung AddWash auxiliary door to keep the drum well-aired, dry, and odor-free.
The auxiliary door adds convenience to loading clothes and ensures proper ventilation inside the washing machine.
We hope these methods not only help mothers thoroughly clean clothes but also ensure bacterial cleanliness, creating a 'shield' to prevent the spread of diseases and protect the health of the entire family.
