Damage to the washing machine: what items are not allowed in the washing machine

Washing machines can easily break down if you put certain things in them. Experts explained what items of clothing should not be put in the drum to make the appliance last longer.

According to RGBDirect experts, shoes should never be washed in a machine. This can cause damage to both the shoes and the machine, according to Express.co.uk.

Tipping the shoe over can scratch the drum of the washing machine, and the shoe itself can lose its shape. Instead, clean the shoe with soapy water and a brush to remove marks and stains.

Pet beds can stink, especially if they haven't been cleaned for a long time. However, according to experts, if the bed has loose fillings such as foam or shredded foam, it should never be put in the machine.

The filling can clump together and potentially damage the washing machine's motor. In addition, pet hair can clog the filter and drainage system of the machine.

It is also important to remember that before putting any soft toys in the machine, some fabrics can disintegrate. Also, make sure that there are no batteries or electrical components in the toy.
