Frank Bennett<p>The top-loading washing machine of friends up the road went out, stopping with a "lid not closed" error when it reached the spin cycle. Dismantling it, we found that the interlock was a switch formed of two small copper alloy bands that made contact when closing the lid rotated a plastic tab on the hinge upward, pushing the contacts together, and the lower band had rusted out. After much fretting, I realized that the plastic tab itself could be part of the switch.<br><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/washingmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>washingmachine</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a></p>
Idris (They/Them)<p>My washing machine is making an awful noise during the last spin cycle, like it’s going to explode.

(Assuming the fabric doesn’t have any major stains, since steaming can set-in the stain.) </p><p>"'If you’re taking care of someone who’s ill or you’re sick yourself, steam from a steamer or an iron is enough to sanitize sheets,' Richardson says. According to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CDC</span></a>, heat of 167 degrees or more is sufficient to kill respiratory <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/viruses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>viruses</span></a> like the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flu</span></a>, and many steamers and irons can reach temperatures of 200 degrees or more. There’s one caveat: If you’re using an iron for sanitizing purposes, make sure to turn on the steam setting—it’s not just the high heat that’s killing the germs, but the actual steam penetrating the fabric. Steam also kills odor-causing bacteria and kills <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DustMites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DustMites</span></a>. </p><p>"If you do have a fabric steamer, it’s likely a more effective method than ironing alone. Steamers are also more versatile; for example, you can use them to freshen up your mattress or sofa if you’re worried about germs hanging out in those soft surfaces. Plus, with a steamer, you won’t risk burning your linens."</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-easiest-way-to-sanitize-your-bed-sheets-according-to-a-laundry-expert?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">getpocket.com/explore/item/the</span><span class="invisible">-easiest-way-to-sanitize-your-bed-sheets-according-to-a-laundry-expert?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Laundry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Laundry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clothes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Clothes</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clotheswashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Clotheswashing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a></p>

What color is my underwear
How much water did I use?
What is your preferred t-shirt brand
What kind of laundry detergent to wash your blues?

My washing machine has to tell the world
Everything it knows about me
My preferences, my likes, what I buy
Make sure those marketers have as much data as it can see

The only problem now I think
Is it can't do the one thing I need, even if it talks
No matter how much data it collects, it can't
Tell me where it stashed all those missing socks!
