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?
DeleteFirst of all, thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog! Yes, I do agree, dogs (and cats as well) do feel shame! You can tell by the look on their faces quite often.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss.
I love your blog background, it is beautiful!
And the photo of you is lovely, you look beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing your tip.
Thank you, Linda. How kind you are. :)
