Why Put a Plastic Bag in Your Washing Machine
The accumulation of lint on freshly washed clothes can be frustrating. It can result from various factors, such as forgotten handkerchief fibers in pockets or having a pet at home that sheds a lot. This lint not only sticks to your clothes but can also damage the washing machine’s filter and drum over time.

Rest assured, there’s a simple and effective way to address this problem. We call it “grandmother’s method,” and it not only keeps your clothes lint-free but also protects your washing machine’s internal components.

The Little Trick with a Plastic Bag
Before starting a wash cycle, place a transparent plastic bag in the drum in the middle of your laundry. It’s as simple as that! You can use any transparent plastic bag, and you won’t even notice it once the wash cycle is running.

Here’s how it works:

Prepare Your Machine: After placing the plastic bag in the drum, set up your washing machine as you usually would and start the program.
No More Lint: When the wash cycle is complete, and you open the drum, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find no hair or lint left on your clothes. This ingenious method leverages static electricity to trap any residue in the plastic bag.
Extend Filter’s Lifespan: Not only does the plastic bag keep your clothes lint-free, but it also extends the lifespan of your washing machine’s filter. Small dirt particles no longer stick to the filter but adhere to the plastic bag.
By using this method, you can enjoy perfectly clean clothes without worrying about lint while also maintaining your washing machine’s performance.
