My mentality is usually just to throw something out of it gets gross instead of trying to wash it. Not because I don't care about waste but I still ask my Mom if certain things can be washed or if I can throw a shirt with a little bit of color on it in with the whites. I'm just always afraid to wash something and ruin it! According to MoneyTalksNews.com, here are 15 household items you can clean in a washing machine. If you've tried washing any of these how did it work out?
