For a long time, washing clothes has been an indispensable housework for us every day, but with the advent of washing machines, we have been freed from heavy laundry labor and brought great convenience to our lives. However, many friends rely too much on the washing machine, and no matter what kind of laundry is put into the washing machine, it will be washed. In fact, not all laundry is suitable for washing in the washing machine. Some clothes put in the washing machine, not only can not be effectively cleaned, but also may cause damage to the washing machine and even affect our health. Today, let's talk about 6 things that should never be thrown into the washing machine, let's find out together!
One: down jacket.
Down jackets are indispensable warm clothes in winter, however, due to the heavy clothes, it is very laborious to clean, and the temperature is low in winter, so it is difficult to dry the down jacket if you wash it by hand. Therefore, many friends will consider putting the down jacket in the washing machine for cleaning, so that you can save a lot of trouble. But in fact, down jackets are not suitable for washing in the washing machine. Because the layer of cloth used to hold down is usually equipped with a waterproof layer, which can prevent the fluff inside from escaping and at the same time, it can also be more windproof and warm. However, when the down jacket is placed in the washing machine, it will absorb water and expand, but the waterproof layer will cause the water to not be discharged immediately, and when the washing machine is spun dry at high speed, the internal air pressure will accumulate to a critical point and cause an explosion. In addition, the down padded inside the down jacket will also accumulate in a clump during the high-speed operation of the washing machine, resulting in a decrease in thermal insulation and deformation of the garment. That's why it's best to wash our down jackets by hand or take them to a professional laundry.
Two: Clothing with ornaments.
Some of the clothes we usually wear will have some decorations on them, such as inlaid beads, sequins or other hard decorations, which make the clothes look better and more distinctive. However, it is better not to put these clothes with decorations in the washing machine. Because the washing machine will keep rotating when washing clothes, in the process of rotating, it will cause the jewelry on the clothes to fall off or be damaged, which will seriously affect the beauty of the clothes. In addition, if the detached decorations are accidentally stuck in the gap between the drums of the washing machine, it will also affect the normal operation of the machine.
Three: silk, wool and other delicate fabrics.
Delicate fabrics such as silk and wool are also best not to be washed in the washing machine. For example, silk fabrics are very soft in texture, and its abrasion resistance is relatively poor. If you put it in the washing machine to wash it, it is easy to fluff and snagging during the high-speed rotation and spinning of the washing machine, which will not only damage the clothes, but also make its surface form pompoms and affect the appearance. For example, wool coats or cardigans can be washed in the washing machine in a way that destroys their natural fibre structure, causing them to deform, shrink or even damage. Therefore, for this kind of clothing, it is best not to put it in the washing machine to wash.
Four: Heavy blankets.
Cleaning the blanket at home is also a trouble, so many friends will put it in the washing machine to clean. However, if a heavy blanket is put in the washing machine, it will increase the load on the washing machine. Because the blanket is highly absorbent, the weight will increase greatly after soaking in water, and it is likely that it has exceeded the capacity of the washing machine, resulting in damage to the washing machine. Moreover, due to the large volume of the blanket, it cannot be fully cleaned in the washing machine, and the cleaning effect is poor.
Five: underwear.
The underwear we wear should never be washed in the washing machine, especially women's underwear. If the washing machine is not cleaned often, it is actually relatively dirty, and there are likely to be a large number of bacteria in it. In addition, some underwear also comes with underwires, which can also cause deformation or damage during the rotation and friction of the washing machine. As intimate clothing, underwear can also cause cross-infection of bacteria and affect personal hygiene when washed with other clothing.
Six: Leather clothing.
Leather clothes are also not suitable for washing in the washing machine, because the strong washing method of the washing machine can easily cause the leather to deform and decolorize. Not only that, leather clothes are not easy to dry, and if they are not dried, mold will appear when they are wet for a long time. In fact, for leather clothes, we only need to regularly use a damp towel dipped in a small amount of detergent to gently scrub, and then hang it in a ventilated place to dry.
