Many people notice that clothes wear out quickly when washed in a washing machine. Regardless of the type of machine, the impact force is stronger than hand washing, leading to fabric damage over time.
Why Clothes Tear in the Washing Machine
If too many clothes are washed at once, they get squeezed together tightly. As the drum rotates, the stretched fabrics experience excessive pulling force, increasing the risk of tearing.
Stuffing clothes haphazardly into the machine also contributes to wear and tear. The machine cannot handle them neatly, causing them to twist together, which leads to faster damage.
A Simple Trick to Protect Clothes
An easy way to prevent this issue is by adding two plastic bottles to the washing machine.
The bottles rotate with the clothes, reducing friction between fabrics.
They prevent clothes from tangling, which minimizes tearing.
As the machine spins, the bottles act like small sticks, rubbing against the clothes to help clean them better.
Before using this method, ensure the bottle caps are tightly closed to achieve the best effect.
