Simply place a damp towel in the washer, tuck your clothes in, and you'll see the "magic" happen.

In addition to being used to wet wipe hands and clean surfaces, wet wipes also have the function of removing fluff from clothes. Paper towels act like vacuum cleaners, effectively sucking up crumbs, lint, and hair. Here's a quick tip for washing clothes with damp paper towels.

Throw wet towels in the washing machine without leaving lint on your clothes

Wet wipes are effective at removing lint and hair from clothes, acting as absorbent cleaners for small fabric particles, fur, and hair.

As a result, the wet wipes collect all the debris, leaving your clothes looking much cleaner without the need to manually remove these particles yourself. 

2. How wet wipes work in the washing machine

To achieve satisfying results, place a maximum of 3 wet wipes into the washing machine. As the drum begins to rotate, the wet wipes will blend with the clothes and effectively gather hair and fur.

You should use new wet wipes for each washing to be able to ensure optimal performance.

3. Make sure your wipes are thick enough

Check that the wet wipes are sturdy enough to withstand the washing machine's agitation without tearing. 

You can test their strength by attempting to rip them into strips. If you find it challenging to tear them, those wet wipes are suitable for the task.

4. You should know that paper and fabric wipes won't work as wet wipes in this case.

Putting wet wipes in the washing machine can save a lot of time. However, don't try to replace wet wipes with paper and fabric wipes.

Paper isn't strong enough, and it can make clothes and the washing machine dirtier as the little pieces melt. Meanwhile, fabric wipes also can't do the job.

If you don't want your clothes to smell like wet wipes, choose antibacterial or unscented products. Or you can use fabric softener to remove the smell from towels.
