Have you ever wondered if there are items that you should never throw into the washing machine?
Although it is easy to throw all the laundry into the machine and let it do work, there are a few things to avoid to protect both your clothes and the machine.
Some daily items that may seem to be obvious choice can actually cause considerable damage if they are washed. So before you load another washing, let’s take a closer look at five things that you should never put in the washing machine to avoid costly repairs and maintain the quality of laundry.
Washing machines have long been the basis in many households because of their ability to save time and reduce manual work. However, not everything is suitable for washing the machine, especially when it comes to washing machines. Here are five items that you should never put in the washing machine:
Clothing with metal details or large decorative beads
 Clothing with metal ornaments or large beads can easily break during washing, potentially damage the drum of washing machines or cause blocked in pipes. In addition, metal components can damage the inner parts of the machine, leading to leaks or even electric shorts that could cause fire. It is best to remove these accessories before washing, or if not possible, wash them manually.
Footwear
 Although it may seem comfortable, throwing shoes into the washing machine is not suitable because they are not designed for machine washing. This practice not only reduces washing efficiency, but can also cause damage to the drum, distort the shape of the shoe and damage the washing machine due to the added weight of wet shoes.
Some types of pillows
 Some pillows, such as herbal or rubber, can be very difficult when they are wet, and their structure can disintegrate in the washing machine. Moist pillows can also become mold and bacteria breeding, leading to potential allergies, skin problems and respiratory problems.
DOWN JACKETS
 It is not recommended to wash the jackets in the washing machine. Washing can destroy the insulation, causing the filling down to clump and reduce the heat of the jacket. In addition, the washing process can weaken the inner fabric, distort its shape and let the detergents residues that could irritate your skin.
Heavy or large blankets
 Strong blankets can be extremely difficult when wet, potentially exceeding the capacity of the washing machine. This not only prevents thorough cleaning, but can also overload the machine, damage its mechanism of spin, shorten its life and increase the risk of electrical problems.
In short, while the washing machines are incredibly useful, some items should always be washed by hand or with special caution to prevent damage to both the items and the machine itself.
In conclusion, while the washing machines are incredibly effective in handling most tasks in the laundry, there are certain objects that should be kept outside the machine to prevent damage to the laundry and the equipment itself. Clothing with metal accessories, shoes, heavy pillows, jackets down and thick blankets represent potential risks, from damage to the machine drum to threatening the integrity of the items themselves.
By keeping you in mind what you put in the washing machine and, if necessary, decide on alternative cleaning methods, you can extend the life of your equipment and ensure that your laundry remains in good condition.
