Don't wash bath mats in your washing machine

Washing bath mats can cause major damage to your washing machine

Excessive strain on your washing machine Although, the care instructions on bath mats will often say you can wash them in a washing machine. We'd advice you don't; because washing bath mats can cause major damage to your washing machine by putting excessive strain on your machines components – plus the possibility of causing an unbalanced load. If the machines balance protection software doesn't abort the spin cycle and your machine dose somehow manages to spin an unbalanced load – apart from damaging the Inner drum and drum bearings, unbalanced loads can also short circuit the Motor and the Control module. We've seen many of our customers washing machines completely wrecked by washing bath mats Bath mats can breakdown and separate Apart from bath mats putting excessive strain on your washing machine; they will often breakdown during the wash and begin shedding fibres, some of the cheaper bath mats rubber backing can separate - totally clogging the pump filter. Our Advice: Never wash bath mats in your washing machine, always wash them by hand in the sink or in bowl and hang then on a washing line to drip dry – better still take them to your local launderette and machine wash them there.
