The washing machine is the best invention of mankind. Throw in your clothes, powder, turn on the mode and go on with your business.

But few even experienced housewives know that there is a list of things that are strictly forbidden to be washed in a machine!

Even if the clothing tag doesn't say anything about it.

Therefore, in order not to spoil clothes and other things during washing, it is recommended to follow these tips.

Bras with hard bones and push-up

Believe me, the machine can easily tear underwear, holes appear, and threads begin to come loose from the seam.

The cup itself also gets deformed, the push-up gets knocked down, which then doesn't look very nice and attractive. Such bras can be safely thrown in the trash! It's better to just wash them in a basin once a week.

Wool, velveteen or cashmere

These are very dangerous fabrics that can stretch when washed, lose color, and develop small “twisted” threads on the seam or all over the garment.

The best option is to take it to a dry cleaner, where experienced professionals will do everything for you. Don't risk your new dress or favorite sweater.

Lace or embroidered items

All women who embroider or sew know for sure that such things are very delicate and sensitive to washing.

If even one thread or stitch gets caught in the drum, throw it away; there is no way to save this fabric.

Therefore, it is better to wash such things yourself, without using aggressive products.

And put it to dry in a place where there is not a lot of moisture and sun, which can burn out the pattern.
