7 Surprising Things You Can Actually Wash in Your Washing Machine
When most people think of a washing machine, they think of shirts, towels, and socks. But in reality, your washer is capable of much more. Many everyday household items quietly collect dirt, grease, bacteria, and odors—and washing them properly can save time, improve hygiene, and make your home feel noticeably fresher.

The key is knowing what can go in the washer and how to wash it safely.

Some of the most overlooked items are right in the kitchen. Oven gloves and dishcloths, for example, are exposed daily to moisture, food residue, and heat. Washing them weekly at around 60°C helps kill bacteria and remove lingering smells. Adding a little baking soda can boost odor removal without damaging the fabric.

Microfiber cloths and mop pads are another surprise. They’re designed to trap dirt, but if they aren’t washed regularly, they end up spreading grime instead of removing it. Wash them at 60°C and skip fabric softener, which can coat the fibers and reduce their absorbency and cleaning power.
