Late last year, I purchased a "Muddy Mat" bed for my dog. It is made from microfiber chenille fabric and when I wash the cover, it becomes very very heavy and nearly impossible to balance in my top-loading washing machine so that it can spin and not go "clunk...clunk...clunk..." I washed it last night and when I got up this morning, it was completely waterlogged and extremely heavy. What to do... what to do.... It suddently came to me! Here is a picture of the kind we have. That is not my dog.
Most of you that have an automatic washing machine probably have a "front-loader" but I do not. Mine is a top-loading machine. I took the soggy mass and carefully (as carefully as I could manage) draped it OVER the agitator in the middle of the machine. I closed the lid and set it to "drain and spin." It worked perfectly!
By the way, if you have been following me, you might wonder how I am doing. I am doing well. I miss my husband terribly, but I'm okay and looking forward, when it's my turn to go, to be with him again. God bless all of you!
Wow that is a great tip! Glad you are doing well❤
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope the tip comes in handy!
DeleteSo glad to hear from you! And that is a GREAT tip! I have a top loader, but alas it does not have an agitator. If I had known how much I would miss it, I would have brought my old washer with us when we moved! Not only did it have an agitator, but could fill a load, and then let it soak for as long as I wanted. This stupid washer I have now will not allow for soaking. Grrrrrr.
ReplyDeleteOh man! That's not good. I hope it malfunctions and blows up soon. ;) Seriously, I hope you can have different one before long. Maybe you could sell the one you have and get something else?
