Mats
Do you know the cloth floor mats are washable, and you can easily wash them in your washer? You can put the stain remover on the stippled areas along with the detergent to clean extra stains. However, you should wash your car mats in the washing machine only once every few months as it may damage the rubber on their back by spinning in the washing machine.
You can even wash your non-slipping mats of bathroom cotton or synthetic doormats, rugs with rubber backs in the machine, along with some towels using a very little amount of detergent.
You can wash yoga mats with delicate detergents and gentle cycles, except for some materials and brands.
Plastic Shower Curtains And Liners
Do you also replace your plastic shower liners just because of soap scum? Then here is the good news for you, yes! You can wash your plastic shower curtains very easily in the machine using very little detergent. However, do remember to put some towels along with it and use cold water.
Backpacks
In our daily routine, from the gym to shopping, from study classes to traveling, we use different backpacks made of cloth and canvas. You will be pleased to know that most of these backpacks are washable, except some studded n decorative ones recommended for hand wash. Grocery bags get dirty very quickly. If you use a reusable grocery bag, you can easily wash it in the machine with warm water and detergent. Before loading in the washer, do turn them inside out. You can wash the nylon bags in the same way, but be sure to air dry them.
Pillows
Pillows are an essential part of our bedroom as well as important for our sound sleep. However, our sweat, saliva in drool, dead skin cells, oily hair, and dandruff make them dirty very quickly. Moreover, it is very unhygienic to use dirty pillows to produce bacteria and fungus, which may cause allergies. Mostly all the varieties of pillows available in the market are washable. According to your machine’s load efficiency, wash 2 or 3 pillows at a time with a cup of bleach and detergent. Wash with hot water to clean properly.
