Washing nets: Net to protect bra whilst washing

protect bra Washing bras in a washing machine can cause problems. In fact problems caused by washing bras are surprisingly common. Many bras should be hand washed only, but most people still put them in the washing machine. The straps can get tangled around other laundry and even get ripped off of the bra if it gets caught between the drum and the door seal. A more common problem is that the underwires from bras commonly come out during washing and get in between the outer tub and the inner drum. This can result in an expensive washing machine breakdown.

The amazing Dryer Balls?

Dryer Balls After seeing the adverts on TV for the, “amazing dryer balls” I decided to buy a pair and try them out. They claim to soften fabrics, reduce creases & wrinkles, cut down on lint and save up to 25% on tumble dryer running costs. These are big claims for something costing only around £10.

Raise a washing machine off the floor

Raise-washing-machine There may occasionally be situations where a washing machine would benefit from being raised off the floor.

If your washing machine and tumble dryer are the same make, the manufacturer should have designed a frame specifically for them. There could be details of such a kit in the instruction book of the dryer.
