Yesterday, I was at my grandma’s house 🧓, helping her clean. When it was time to do the laundry 🧺, I was about to start the machine as usual, but grandma asked me to wait and not turn on the washing machine just yet.
She then went to get a plastic bag 🛍️, which she placed inside the machine. I was very surprised 😲 to see that.
She then explained to me that it was a clever trick 💡 and showed me how it worked. I’ll tell you all about it in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.
So, why should you put a bag in the washing machine, and how does it work?
This trick has several benefits and really improves the washing quality.
When the drum starts spinning during the wash, a slight static electricity builds up.
The plastic bag traps invisible dirt like pet hair and human hair.
This trick is especially effective if you have a pet.
Otherwise, these impurities accumulate in the machine’s filter.
The bag also reduces the amount of detergent used.
It also helps reduce wear and tear on the filters and other components of the machine.
I should also note that I only use this trick for regular washes.
I avoid it when washing wool or sensitive fabrics.
