We use our washing machines almost daily—mostly for clothes—but they can clean much more! Many everyday items gather dirt and bacteria without us noticing. Washing them helps keep your home fresh and hygienic.
- Oven gloves & dishcloths: Wash weekly at 60°C to kill germs.
- Microfiber cloths & mops: Clean at 60°C to keep them effective.
- Tote bags: Wash gently at 30–40°C in a pillowcase.
- Shower curtains & bath mats: Wash at 40°C with white vinegar to prevent mold.
- Stuffed animals & comforters: Use a net, wash at 30–40°C with vinegar.
- Canvas sneakers: Remove laces/insoles, wash at 30°C with a towel.
- Gym bags & wristbands: Wash regularly at 30°C.
Tips: Sort items, pick the right temperature, avoid softener on absorbent fabrics, and use laundry nets.
