Why You Shouldn’t Put Your Bath Mat in the Washer – The Hidden Risk to Your Machine (and How to Clean It Safely)

Violent shaking and loud banging

Misaligned drums

Worn-out bearings

Premature machine failure

2. They Can Damage Your Dryer Too

Wet bath mats take forever to dry.

They create excessive steam, which can:

Overheat the dryer

Cause mold growth inside the vent system

Increase fire risk due to lint buildup

3. Mold & Mildew Thrive Inside Machines

If not dried quickly, damp mats breed mold and bacteria — both on the mat and inside your washer.

These microbes can transfer to your next load of towels or clothes.
