Your washing machine<\/a> is your best friend when it comes to laundry.<\/a> It\u2019s best to always make sure it is looked after and cleaned<\/a>. Unfortunately, there are items that could damage your washing machine. If you are putting these items in, now is the best time to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Items<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Coins And Keys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s human to forget things. After all, we all lead busy lifestyles. Coins and keys are items that could damage your washing machine. If you do forget to check your pockets, these two items will spin around the machine and bang against the washer\u2019s drum. To keep your washing machine scratch-free, always remember to check your pockets before you start laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Rubbers Mats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another item that could damage your washing machine is a rubber mat because when the cycle starts, the rubber can tear apart inside. Consequently, this will lead to bits of rubber all over your machine which can cause all sorts of problems. To avoid this, it\u2019s highly recommended you wash rubber mats by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Lingerie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019d be forgiven to think that lingerie will wash like any other clothes. To keep your washing machine safe, it\u2019s best to handwash them to avoid problems. This is because the hooks and wires in your lingerie could very easily hook onto parts of the machine while the cycle is going on. As a result, this makes the machine slow down and could potentially damage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Pet Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all love pets<\/a> even if their stubborn hair<\/a> is everywhere in the house. If you are dedicating a day to doing laundry for your pet\u2019s items, make sure their hair is removed from the items before starting the washing cycle. Use a rubber glove or lint roller to remove pet hair. If you leave this unchecked, pet hair can cause damage to your washing machine because it can clog the drain pumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Too Much Detergent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It may seem counter-intuitive, but detergent is on the list of items that could damage your washing machine. You’d be forgiven to think that using more laundry detergent<\/a> will make your clothes smell nicer and fresher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you need to balance it correctly because using too much detergent<\/a> will cause damage to the washing machine\u2019s control panel and invite unwanted mould and mildew. Usually, bad odours inside the machine are a sign you\u2019ve used too much laundry detergent. Bad odours can also be a major sign that your washing machine needs cleaning<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you are aware of the items that could damage your washing machine, you\u2019ll take care of your machine better next time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
