You've been doing this wrong for years.
It can be easy to forget that the durable machines you rely upon have a working limit when doing chores. And even though it might seem perfectly harmless to toss them in with the rest of your laundry, experts warn thatExperts say the issue lies with how large the baskets of modern washing machines have become. While it allows you to take care of bigger bundles of clothes in fewer cycles, it can also make them easy to overload and permanently damage vital parts.
."Modern washers have a much faster spin rate than washers of the past—up to 1,200 revolutions per minute during high-speed spins! These faster rates create large amounts of force with heavy items, and the increased weight tears the washer apart."According to Flint, there are two ways your seemingly simple bathmat can end up becoming a very costly repair."Bathroom mats often have a rubbery backing that disintegrates in the wash cycle," he writes.
They can also physically break another critical piece of the appliance."The rear bearing that supports the spin basket takes the brunt of the damage from heavy bathroom mats and the great centripetal force generated by the spin cycle," Flint says, which he adds can cost upwards of $500 to repair.
