Leaving tissues in pockets might lead to a big mess

This might sound like a rookie mistake, but in fact, many of us do it. Try to make sure you remove any tissues from the last flu you’ve just been through, or any other bits of paper from your trouser pockets before starting your washing machine.

When you are only rushing to get the job done and move on to the next thing, you might end up with bits of soggy paper all over your clothes.

If you constantly have this problem, you can pick off by hand the leftover lumps of tissue, and the smaller spots of paper can be removed with a soft brush.
