I picked out this… thing. The duvet cover had eaten everything in the machine and turned itself into a postmodern textile art piece.
when you put predator and pray in the same fish tank
It’s official. You are the chosen one, and this is your legendary weapon.
Well okay then I guess
If you washing machine has a Bedding setting then try using that. It prevents this from happening, at least of front loading machines.
Mine has one that says waterproof… What the hell is that for?
Cleaning things that are hydrophobic
Well, yeah waterproof, but I guess what I mean is how is that cycle any different?
I assume the soaking cycle times are different? I feel like they would be longer in this case? I don’t know the chemistry of detergents, water, and hydrophobic molecules (used in clothing) but I assume the automation either increases soaking time for stain penetration or decrease it if it doesn’t matter. ,
Aha, I’ll check it out. Thanks!
You’re my hero heydo
Ugh fuck duvet covers they’ll eat themselves even if they’re closed and the only thing in there
First thought: “why are they holding their baby like that?”
After scrolling down: “oh”
Wait, there are laundry machines that stop when something’s wrong?
I got some silicone rubber bands from Amazon a few years ago and I use them to tie the four corners of sheets and blankets together before washing and drying. Does a great job keeping them from entangling other items in the machine.
you pulled out the washing machine’s intestines
My washer does this all the time. It can be infuriating.
Mildly, one might say.
Ya I always have to ball up big things I pout into the washer so it doesnt suck up all the other smaller things I put in.
Something sad Ive also found is that when this phenomena occurs sometimes the big articles suck up all the detergent juices and water and prevent the smaller , trapped inside it clothing from getting sufficiently cleaned
The big eat the small and hog resources meant to be shared by all. The sad parallels of society in the laundry.
I recently got a used washer that doesn’t have the center column and instead of doing this, blankets now form a bubble or mushroom shape across the whole drum
This just happened to me.
Damn, me too!
Concrete the washer into the wall.
