Hay in the washing machiene?
- Thread starter Ambience
- Start date
My other half is going to go crazy- i don't normally do it and we only just got a new washer last week - opps!
Thanks - going to use pillows instead. The washer already isn't the best replacement in my view. Did you wash much stuff with hay on?

I make sure I give everything with hay on a good shake before it goes into the machine.
You do get bits of hay remaining in the washer, but that tends to take only one cycle to clear, and I just delay washing anything black/dark until I've done a couple of light loads such as bedding and towels.
Me and Liz seem to be the only people on here who have washers that can cope with bunny bedding..which is funny seeing as though I bought the cheapest one in the shop! :lol:

Which one do you have- this is just a beko 7kg- it is cheap too apparantely?
Mainly their blankets, twice a week i think a conbination of hair and hay caused the problem, so think the pillows would be a good idea.
My washing machine seems to be completely dead
so I am having to do hand washing and use friends' machines. I have a feeling it is due to hay and bunny and cat fur, athough I have tried to be careful
I can't afford another machine so am looking into renting one. Will have to try and wash animal bedding in pillowcases as suggested on here or I will find they won't repair a rental one.

I've got the cheapest Indesit model. I very much doubt that they make the exact model any more because we've had it nearly 5 years.
If you're concerned about hay in the machine...what about getting a second one installed in an outbuilding if you've got the water supply and drainage?
