Many people don't think twice when loading their washing machine and filling its drum.

However, there are some restrictions on washing certain types of items together.

Let's figure out which items require two different washes.

First of all, we are talking about kitchen towels and bed linen.

The reason is this: Bed linen and kitchen towels are made of different materials, which vary in thickness.

When towels get wet, they become significantly heavier, which leads to overloading of the machine during washing.

Towels, along with sheets and duvet covers, form a lump inside the drum, which, bouncing during the washing process, can damage the drum of the washing machine and other important components of the household appliance from the inside.

In addition, overweight leads to wear of the bearings and the drum shaft.

Earlier we wrote about why you shouldn’t machine wash at 40 degrees.
