The right way to wash clothes is not only important for protecting clothes, but also for the washing machine itself. Although the washing machine can handle and clean many types of clothing fabrics, some fabric types still need special attention. For these types of fabrics, you should avoid machine washing or give special care. Before putting any fabric into the washing machine, you should check the care label of the clothing. If there is no label or the label has faded, you should refer to the advice of experts or look up the care recommendations corresponding to this type of fabric. This will protect the clothing and prevent the clothing from being damaged and the washing machine from being damaged.

Here are six special fabric types to watch out for:

1. Exquisite fabrics

   Silk, lace, cashmere and other delicate fabrics require special care and should be hand washed or dry cleaned. These fabrics can be easily damaged by the strong agitation of the machine's spin, hot water, or detergent when machine washed. These fabrics may shrink, deform, tear, fade, and lose their soft texture.

2. Severely soiled fabrics

   For those fabrics that are heavily soiled with mud, dirt, a lot of hair, etc., it is necessary to pre-treat them before putting them into the washing machine. This step is very important. This not only increases the chances of stain treatment, but also avoids staining other clothes. So if the clothes are relatively dirty, first remove the large pieces of dirt, then soak them in water with detergent solution for 20 minutes, and then put them into the washing machine with the detergent beads. This ensures that the dirt on the clothes can be better removed.

3. Clothes that can only be dry cleaned

   Never attempt to wash clothing marked "dry clean only" in a washing machine. These garments may not be able to withstand the water, agitation, and detergents in a washing machine and should be sent to a dry cleaner for cleaning and care.

4. There are a lot of decorative items

   Nowadays, many clothes have a lot of metal or sequins and beads, which can damage the washing machine. Large carpets and heavy bedding and other overweight items will also exceed the capacity of ordinary washing machines. If these items are barely put into the washing machine for washing, they may not be washed completely, and detergent will remain on the clothes. Therefore, if it is this type of clothing, it is recommended to use a commercial washing machine or a professional cleaning agency to wash it.

5. Leather clothing

   Leather clothing should not be washed in a washing machine. This is because contact with water and strong stirring will damage the surface texture and color of the leather. Leather relies on the oil on the surface of the leather to maintain a smooth surface, soft texture, and rich colors. Machine washing leather clothing will remove these oil components, causing the leather clothing to change color. Harden or even crack. Not only clothing made of pure leather, but also clothing with leather decorations, such as some sportswear and sneakers with leather decorations, should not be machine washed. It is recommended to have them cleaned by a professional cleaning agency.
