Let's imagine a situation: several dirty kitchen towels, sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases have accumulated in the basket.

What will the hostess do in this case?

She will probably try to throw all these things into the washing machine drum to wash them at the same time.

At first glance, this step will be absolutely correct: the products will become clean, time and energy will be saved.

But it's not that simple. It turns out that washing bed linen and kitchen towels at the same time can lead to two problems at once.

Why You Shouldn't Wash Bed Linens with Kitchen Towels

When washing kitchen towels, an important process occurs that many housewives forget about.

We are talking about the fibers released by the products. The latter can cause serious damage to the duvet cover, sheet and pillowcases.

There is another unpleasant consequence of washing kitchen and bedding items at the same time.

Thus, towels and bed linen can form large lumps. The latter can, as a result of bouncing, cause serious damage to the drum and other parts of the washing machine.

All of the above suggests the need to wash kitchen towels and bed linen at different times.
