The washing machine distributes bacteria and infections

Later, the results of the investigation showed that bacteria had spread just from the hospital washing machine.

Fortunately, the children were not infected, and experts explained everything in the magazine {Applied and Environmental Microobicology.

This case disturbed many citizens who wonder if there are equally dangerous bacteria in their home washing machine. The answer isn't safe enough.

The “It's about a hospital washing machine, so it makes sense that it was exposed to dangerous bacteria that grow in that environment,” said Amesh Adales for Healthline.

“These bacteria are resistant and can cause” infections, he added.

Most washing machines today, however, wash their clothes under 60 degrees to save energy. This also means more bacteria that survive washing, says the study's leading author, Ricardo Schmidt.

Furthermore, experts have found that bacteria grow in the tire parts of the washing machine and then spread during laundry.

However, this does not mean that we should panic, since most bacteria in the washing machine are not life threatening.

The “Persons using a cool bath or short washing have a greater chance that some bacteria remain in cloth and clothing. But the chances that a resistant, dangerous bacteria that causes disease “infect your” washing machine are very low”, explains physician Bruce Hirsch.

If you live with an elderly person, a sensitive child, it would be a good idea to eliminate bacteria from a washing machine once a month.

“Bacteria are most frequently found in the opening of the detector, in the tire parts, and in the wash pot,” says Hilary Metcalf, a infection.

Especially should we pay attention to the washing machines we carry in our attics, garages, or cellars, where bacteria do.

Sometimes wipe the inside of the washing machine with a disinfectant.

“Washing the washing machine once a month reduces the risk of the family being infected with bacteria or infections,” adds Metcalf, Kosovas broadcasts.
