Memory Foam Pillows
Before you decide to toss your favorite memory foam pillow in the wash, give the care tag a good read. As a rule of thumb, memory foam pillows are not washable and end up a soggy mess. Many of these pillows don't even maintain their own shape when cleaned in the washing machine. If your pillow is looking dingy, see if the cover is removable and machine washable. To freshen the pillow itself, try a a few drops of essential oil in water sprayed from a spray bottle.
Running Shoes
While tossing other athletic shoes into the washing machine is perfectly fine, running shoes are not built to be machine washed. The ventilated material may become torn or broken down during the spin cycle. Shoes that have been washed may come out smaller than before. Only throw your sneakers in the machine if the care tag says they are machine washable.
Purses
When you put your purse in the washing machine, you put any embellishments, zippers, and hardware on your handbag in danger of damage. A ride through the washing machine can also compromise the shape and material of your bag. Instead, spot clean your bag with a cleaner made for the fabric and allow it to air dry. For heavy duty cleaning needs, check with your local dry cleaner.
Raincoats
Your raincoat is designed to keep water off you so sending it through the washing machine just doesn't make sense. In most cases, raincoats end up trapping water inside like a water balloon. Your raincoat will hold so much water that it will eventually explode and make a huge mess.
