[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, washing machines have become a common household appliance in every household. People use washing machines to clean household items such as clothes, bed sheets, shoes and carpets, which greatly reduces the time spent on housework cleaning and improves the quality of life.

[0003] As a cleaning appliance, the dirt carried by the items in the washing machine often accumulates inside the washing machine during the washing process, and it is difficult to completely discharge it from the washing machine, resulting in dirt deposition. Dirt usually accumulates between the inner and outer walls of the washing machine, and over time it even becomes moldy and smelly, breeding a large number of bacteria. At this point, the washing machine not only loses its cleaning function, but also becomes a source of pollution.

[0004] At present, the commonly used method to deal with this phenomenon is to clean the washing machine by disassembling it, which has many disadvantages. First, washing machine disassembly is a relatively professional process, and ordinary families cannot disassemble and clean it by themselves. They often need to find professional washing machine cleaners, which increases the cost of using washing machines. Secondly, because washing machine disassembly is relatively complicated, people often disassemble and clean the washing machine only when the washing machine produces odor, and at this time the washing machine has accumulated a lot of dirt and produced a lot of bacteria.
