Certain Types of Pillows
Certain pillows, like herbal or rubber pillows, are particularly weighty when wet and are prone to breaking in the washing machine.
Mold and germs can grow on damp pillows, causing allergies, skin conditions, and respiratory problems.
Down Jackets
Machine washing down coats is not advised. The insulating qualities of the jacket may be compromised by washing, which could lead to the down clumping together and decreasing thermal efficiency.
Additionally, machine washing may cause the inner fabric to deteriorate, change shape, and leave behind detergent residues that may cause skin irritation.
Thick and Large Blankets
Thick blankets can weigh more than the washing machine can handle because they become extremely heavy when wet. In addition to preventing adequate cleaning, this can overload the machine, harming the spin mechanism, shortening the appliance’s lifespan, and possibly raising the possibility of electrical short circuits.
