The service life of a washing machine directly depends on how you use it.
There are things that are absolutely not recommended to be washed in the machine.
What you can't wash in a washing machine
One of the main mistakes is trying to wash a bath mat in the washing machine. The thing is that this item has the ability to absorb more liquid than the washing machine can hold.
In addition, the rubber backing of the products may crumble and damage the internal parts of the machine.
Clothes with stains left by flammable liquids should also not be machine washed because these liquids can damage the washing machine.
It is also not recommended to wash children's socks, as small items tend to get sucked into the drain hose. They can be washed by placing them in a bag first.
Avoid putting items with a lot of pet hair in the machine. If you don't remove it with a sticky roller, it will clog the washing machine filter later.
