The inner wall of the drainage area is full of cloth scraps and dirt, which breeds many viruses and bacteria. During the laundry process, these dirt and bacteria will be contaminated on the clothes, which is another important reason why you cannot use the washing machine to clean underwear. It is best to wash underwear and other clothing separately, and wash non-dirty and dirty items in order.
