**If You’ve Never Put It in the Washing Machine, Here’s Why You Should: Unexpected Results**
When it comes to doing laundry, most of us stick to the basics—clothes, towels, sheets, and perhaps a few accessories here and there. But did you know that there are other, somewhat unexpected items you can toss in the washing machine for amazing results? That’s right! Some household items and accessories that might not seem “washable” can actually benefit from a good wash in the machine, saving you time and effort. Here are a few surprising things you should consider washing in the machine and the unexpected results you can get!
### 1. **Sneakers and Shoes**
We all know that our shoes take a beating after being worn day in and day out. Whether it’s dirty sneakers from the gym or muddy shoes from a weekend adventure, washing them by hand can be a real hassle.
**Unexpected result:**
– **Fresh, Clean Shoes in Minutes**: Throwing your sneakers (or some canvas shoes) in the washing machine can clean them quickly and effectively. Use a mesh laundry bag to protect them from damage, and set the machine to a gentle cycle. When you’re done, they’ll be looking fresh and smelling a lot better—often in half the time it would take to clean them manually.
### 2. **Shower Curtains**
Over time, shower curtains can accumulate soap scum, mildew, and other grime. While you can try scrubbing them by hand, it’s not the easiest task, and it often leaves the curtain looking dull.
**Unexpected result:**
– **Bright and Fresh Shower Curtains**: Simply remove the curtain from the hooks and toss it in the washing machine with a little detergent and a cup of vinegar to help break down mold or mildew. After a quick wash and a line dry, your shower curtain will look almost as good as new—without the hassle of scrubbing it by hand.
