Think Your Washing Machine Is Just for Clothes? Think Again!
It turns out your washer can do a whole lot more than tackle laundry. Many everyday items quietly gather dirt, dust, and bacteria—often without us noticing. Here’s what else you can clean in your washing machine:
🍽 Oven Gloves & Dishcloths
These kitchen staples soak up grease and germs fast. Wash them weekly at 60°C to keep things hygienic and fresh.
🧼 Microfiber Mops & Cleaning Cloths
To avoid spreading dirt around the house, toss washable mop heads and cloths in at 60°C after use.
🛍 Canvas & Tote Bags
Used daily and rarely cleaned, they can carry more than just groceries. Pop them inside a pillowcase and wash at 30–40°C to protect fabric and print.
🚿 Shower Curtains & Bath Mats
Damp environments are a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Wash these at 40°C with a cup of white vinegar for a clean, fresh result.
🧸 Stuffed Animals & Comforters
Your child’s cuddly favorites can harbor unseen germs. Place them in a laundry bag and wash at 30–40°C with a splash of white vinegar to sanitize gently.
👟 Canvas Sneakers & Sports Gear
Gym bags, sneakers, and even wristbands pick up sweat and odor. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with mild detergent to keep them fresh and bacteria-free.
