Curlers in the washing machine
The most ingenious tricks also concern other aspects, such as improving the comfort of feet in shoes and much more. In this article we will talk about a really hot topic, concerning machine washing, which is very often harmful to our clothes.
Washing in the washing machine
We all know that the washing machine is an essential appliance in every home, so much so that practically everyone has one now. But did you know that it can ruin clothes?
If we set the temperature wrong we run the risk of having shrunken jumpers, if we choose too aggressive a wash we will ruin clothes in the long run, if we put different colours in the basket they could transfer. In short, we have to be very careful in choosing the right settings and the right and least aggressive products possible.
Already in itself this operation is quite traumatising for our clothes, so much so that one drawback we can encounter is that they get ruined and start producing lint and fluff. This material, in addition to ruining the aesthetics of our beloved clothes, clogs up the washing machine by getting into its mechanisms and accumulating as we perform new washes.

Today we unveil a household trick that not everyone knows: all you need is some curlers. Let’s see the procedure.
Saving clothes with curlers
They are accessories that all grandmothers had at home until a while ago. We are talking about curlers, which were used to create wonderful curls but have since given way to more advanced systems for achieving the desired wavy hairstyle.
Their prickly structure makes them perfect for preventing lint from clothes from escaping into the washing machine. Doing so is very simple, in fact you only need to insert one or two inside the drum before starting the washing cycle. This can be done before or after inserting the load, at which point we can start the wash.
When it is finished we will notice how all the excess material has been collected in the curlers. The result will not only be an appliance that is protected and lasts longer, but also jumpers and other clothes that are prone to ruining, tidy and ready to wear. This will safeguard the fibres of fabrics that are prone to producing more lint, so that even if they are dated, they will not look old or worn.
In short, the garment’s appearance, the look, the washing machine and even the wallet will gain because we will save our wardrobe without the constant need to renew it. This is part of a series of a thousand other clever tricks to use in the home that save money and recycle unexpected objects, such as curlers, by rethinking their function.
