How To Do It Step By Step
Follow these simple steps for the best result:
Step 1: Choose The Right Bottle
Use a small to medium clean plastic water bottle, 500ml is perfect. Remove the label and rinse it well. Make sure there are no sharp edges.
Step 2: Close The Cap Tightly
This is very important. The bottle must be empty but closed. The trapped air inside is what makes it float and bounce. If the cap is open, it will fill with water and will not work.
Step 3: Place It In The Drum
Load your washing machine as usual, but do not overfill it. Place the bottle in the middle of the clothes, not at the bottom.
Step 4: Run Your Normal Cycle
Wash as you normally would. Use cold or warm water. The bottle works with any cycle.
Step 5: Remove And Reuse
After the wash, take the bottle out and let it dry. You can reuse the same bottle for months.
Pro Tip: For a very large load or heavy items like blankets, use 2 bottles instead of 1.
Is It Safe For Your Washing Machine?
Yes, when done correctly, it is completely safe. The bottle is lightweight and soft, so it will not damage the drum.
However, follow these rules:
– Never use a glass bottle
– Never use a bottle with a loose cap
– Do not use it in a dryer, washing machine only
– Check your bottle for cracks and replace it if it is damaged
– Do not use a very large bottle that could get stuck
