In some cases, it is worth throwing a regular kitchen sponge into the machine drum before starting the wash.

Why put something intended for washing dishes into the device?

The answer is simple: so that the product collects wool from clothes.

Thus, this life hack is worth using if you have a dog, cat or other furry pet in your home.

How does a sponge "work"

During washing, the soft device will collect hairs.

And this effect is explained very simply: the sponge has a porous structure.

As a result, the wool “peels off” from the clothing and “sticks” to the device.

The housewife who uses this unusual life hack will not be disappointed with the results of washing: there will be no wool on wardrobe items and bed linen.

So, throw a clean sponge into the washing machine if you notice that your clothes have accumulated a lot of hair.

Use one soft product to "collect" wool only once. After washing, the sponge should be thrown away: its reuse is unacceptable.
