The washing machine has become an indispensable attribute in every home.

The most interesting thing is that, as a rule, only clothes are washed in the machine.

But can it be used only for its intended purpose? Therefore, it is worth remembering several things that can be safely washed in a washing machine, and many people do not even know about it.

Shoes

Who said that a washing machine can't be a salvation for dirty shoes? If the shoes are made of fabric or textile, then they are most likely subject to washing.

However, you must first make sure that there are no metal or plastic parts on the shoes that could damage the machine.

Curtains

Curtains are one of those items that are easily forgotten on the laundry list, but they collect dust and odors just like any other fabric in the house.

Of course, you will need to use a special washing mode to avoid damaging anything.

Fabric bags

Shopping bags are frequently used and deserve the same attention as clothing.

Most of them are machine washable, especially if they are made of cotton or polyester.

Pillows

Pillows are also washable. However, before throwing them in the drum, you need to make sure that they are machine washable and not hand washable only.

Of course, here you still need to strictly adhere to the washing recommendations, because you can make a serious mistake.

Carpets

Few people think about the fact that carpets can be washed in a washing machine. But many carpets are made of synthetic materials.

Therefore, if the carpet is the right size, you can try washing it. However, it is worth remembering that it is better to wash carpets without wringing.

Backpacks

Many backpacks, especially those made from durable fabrics, can be washed. Of course, here it is also worth reading the manufacturer's instructions so as not to damage the item.
