It’s not just clothes that can be thrown into a washing machine, surprised? Well, knowledge is power and we plan to educate you of the wonders of the washing machine.
Caps/Hats:
Spray your dirty caps with a stain remover and run them in the washing machine, just five minutes later of applying stain remover. Use cold water and preferably a short cycle, the job is done.
Sneakers:
Make sure to remove the soles and laces of the sneakers before tossing them in with the padding. Use a normal amount of detergent and vinegar if you will (to disinfect). A cold delicate wash cycle will do the trick.
Sports articles:
Sports gear tends to get dirty thus, a wash is necessary to keep things clean. Gloves, shin pads, knee/shoulder pads can be put in the washing machine with half the amount of detergent you would use, on a regular cycle.
Gym bags:
It’s quite obvious that dirt gathers on the inside and outside of your gym bag, from it being placed in the locker room and from the sweaty clothes being placed inside it. A cold water gentle cycle is what you need for this purification.
Backpacks and lunch boxes:
Place your bag or box into a laundry bag or pillow case, only after a thorough check of the pockets (get rid of any chunks of dirt and other matter). Pop it in the washing machine with cold water and gentle detergent.
Pillows:
Pillows belong in the washing machine just as much as much as their covers. Wash 2 pillows collectively with a gentle cycle of warm water. To determine whether all the soap is gone, do an extra rinse.
Pet beds:
We are aware our furry/ feathery friends tend to make mess. To clean foam pet beds, remove the outside cover and toss it in the machine with cold water and a usual amount of detergent. As for the foam that can be cleaned in a bathtub.
Bath mats:
After shaking of the dirt, put in the bath mat with a couple of towels to balance out the load and run a normal cycle.
Yoga mats:
You can wash your mat once month without soap unless, the instructions on the mat tell you otherwise.
Shower curtains:
Yes, it’s a bit unusual. But, a regular amount of detergent is what makes the magic happen.you may add a few towels for balance.
Stuffed toys:
Place the toy in a laundry bag and all you have left to do is press wash and rinse. Use cold water and half the soap. A second cycle of rinse could be used to get rid of the soap.
Mop heads:
If your mop head is removable, the reason is probably because they want you to be able to wash it.
Oven mittens:
Need I say more, just hurl them in with your dish towels and other washing clothes.
Toys:
Building blocks and toys of the same nature can be thrown into the washing machine, along side bath time puffers and toys your pet plays with (fetch balls).
Reusable Grocery bags:
Canvas grocery bags travel with you to and fro your shopping trips. They are bound to have some kind of germs on them. Allow the washing machine to work its wonders on them in a hot- water regular cycle.
