Product Information
Full details
The Marbet Lingerie Washing Machine Ball is an essential accessory for anyone looking to extend the lifespan of their delicate garments, such as bras, tights, and lace underwear. By providing a protective, structured enclosure, it prevents these items from tangling, snagging, or losing their shape during intense wash cycles. While it offers excellent protection, users should note that the 19 x 15cm dimensions require enough space within the washing machine drum to tumble freely for optimal results.

FAQs
Can I put more than one bra in the ball?
It depends on the size of the bras, but generally, one to two smaller bras can fit comfortably. Do not force them, as this may crush the cups.
Is this product safe for silk garments?
Yes, it is excellent for silk as it prevents snagging, but ensure your machine cycle is set to the appropriate low temperature and delicate settings.
Can I use this in a top-loading machine with a central agitator?
Yes, though you should place the ball away from the center agitator to prevent excessive impact during the wash.
What happens if I wash at 60 degrees?
The material may soften or deform. Always keep your machine settings at or below 40 degrees Celsius.
Does the ball need a special laundry bag?
No, the ball serves as its own protective container.
Troubleshooting
The ball keeps popping open during the cycle
Check the locking mechanism for laundry lint; ensure no fabric is caught in the seal before snapping it shut.
Items inside look clean but smell slightly of detergent
Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent; the enclosed nature of the ball may trap soap if you are using an excess.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the latch mechanism is clean of lint or debris to guarantee a secure closure. The unit is compatible with any standard front-loading or top-loading washing machine, provided there is enough clearance in the drum for the ball to rotate. For care, simply rinse the ball under warm water after your wash cycle is complete to remove any residual detergent. Leave the unit open to air dry completely before the next use to prevent moisture buildup inside the shell. Avoid using this product in tumble dryers, as the plastic material is not designed for the sustained heat of a drying cycle.
