Why soft deleted entities appear in query results?

Question

I am trying to implement soft deleting concept.

Here is my object:

class Post extends Eloquent {

    /**
     * The database table used by the model

Tested it in Laravel 5.6, You need to use SoftDeletes Trait in your model

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

and when you query

$banners = Banners::where('status', 1)->get();

it will not return soft deleted data.
