A washing machine saves time, effort and provides cleanliness, but some things are better washed by hand or dry cleaned.

This will help preserve their original appearance for a long time, and you won't have to look for a replacement for damaged items. And in some cases, you can even protect the machine from breaking.

Bras

This item carries several risks at once. Firstly, the bones can damage the washing machine tank, and the clasps can tear other clothes. Secondly, the clasps can get stuck in the walls of the tank, and the item itself will stretch. Therefore, experts advise washing bras by hand.

Ties

Many ties are made of delicate fabrics. Washing them quickly will cause the item to lose its shape and sometimes stain other clothes.

Things with sequins, buttons and zippers

The danger of items with zippers and buttons is that they can get stuck in the machine or damage other clothes. Before loading such items into the drum, you should at least fasten them to reduce the risk of negative washing results.

Clothes with sequins, beads, stones and other similar elements are dangerous to wash in the washing machine, as the decoration may come off and get stuck in the mechanism or damage other things.

Children's socks

This category also includes other small items of clothing. Children's socks can get into the drainage holes. If there is no time for hand washing, then small items are placed in a special mesh bag before loading into the drum.

Silk things

Beautiful but delicate fabric requires special care. Even hand washing should be done carefully. Only special products for silk are allowed.
