Do Just One Thing
Spare change that accidentally ends up in a load of laundry may seem harmless, but a few coins can cause surprisingly expensive damage. During the spin cycle, a washing machine's drum can reach hundreds of revolutions per minute, and loose coins can become lodged in the drain pump, filter or other moving parts. In some machines, a coin can even block the pump and prevent water from draining properly. Make it a habit to check every pocket before tossing clothes into the washer. This simple step can help keep your machine running smoothly -- and save you from an unnecessary repair bill.
