To make your clothes last longer: what things should not be washed in a washing machine

Washing machines have become a revolutionary invention that has made everyday life much easier. They allow us to keep ourselves clean and take care of our personal hygiene effortlessly. However, in order for your appliances to work efficiently and for a long time, it is important to understand their characteristics and operating rules.

Experts in the field of washing machine service, based on in-depth research, have compiled a list of three categories of items that are strictly not recommended for washing in the home. The UAportal team has collected this important information for you.

Washing bathroom rugs, decorative pillows, or warm rugs can lead to trouble. These items can absorb so much water that they become too heavy for the washing machine. During centrifugation, the heavy weight can cause a breakdown, as the machine is not designed to handle such a load.

Washing children's socks and other small items in a washing machine is not recommended. Experts warn that such small items can get stuck in the drain hose or between the drum and the machine body. To remove them, you may have to disassemble the washing machine.

As for shoes such as sneakers, they should not be machine washed either. Even if your model has a special mode for shoes, the constant impact during washing can cause the bearings to wear out quickly, and they will be expensive to replace. Therefore, it is better to give preference to hand washing or professional dry cleaning for your shoes.
