Your machine washing Information
If your washing machine won’t drain, the problem is most likely in the drain hose or the pump. Since your washing machine is filling up with water, you can rest assured that the motor is working correctly. If your washing machine spins or runs through a cycle, then you can be sure that the belt is ok. Since the washer fills and spins, you should begin by checking the washing machine drain hose and make sure that it isn’t cinched up or have any kinks in it.
You should also lift the washing machine lid and examine the tab that rests under the lid. This tab connects to a switch on the washing machine. If it is broken, the washing machine will turn off and won’t drain thoroughly. If the tab is broken, you can try to fix it yourself, however, you may find that it is best to have a professional repair it for you.
In addition, if your problem isn’t in the lid switch and you’ve checked the drain hose and found that it isn’t kinked, then the problem may be that the water pump is broken. You will need to have a plumber look at it.

Dry clean only, that is what the manufacturer’s instruction on most wool clothing reads, and these labels are there for good reason. Often, when washed in water, wool clothing will shrink. This can happen even when the garment is washed by hand. To know the likelihood of your garment being damaged you must consider how the fabric is made.
Because of the way wool sweaters are made they will most commonly shrink. Yarn which is twisted to be bulky and fuzzy will shrink more often than woven yarn which is more compact. Wool suits are often treated during production, this can prevent shrinkage however you must still be careful when washing. The liner in a wool suit is sewn in a manner that may make washing difficult. Even if you are successful in washing without shrinkage the liner may become too wrinkled to wear. Ironing the lining is typically not an option and leaving a crease in wool suit pants is nearly impossible.
If you would like to try washing wool check the label for fibers first. If the garment contains less than 50% real wool you should be okay. If there is more than that you should reconsider. Any wool clothing should be washed in cold water even lower percentage garments are more likely to lose their shape if you use hot water. A washing machine is not advisable for washing wool it should be done by hand. If you insist on using a machine be positive that you have a setting for wool cycle on the machine you are using. Always use a detergent made specifically for wool. Stronger detergents will damage your garments.
If you would like to wash wool by hand try this: Fill a sink with cool/ cold water. Add detergent and mix well. Push clothing into the water do not attempt to work the fabric. Repeat using clean water to rinse. Gently squeeze water out of garment. Do not ring. Fold in towel and press to remove water. Lie flat on a dry towel to dry. Do not place in sunlight this may fade or shrink material.
Now you know the best way to wash wool clothing. To be sure you do not ruin your clothing follow all of the above instructions. If you pay close attention to your task you will save hundreds of dollars on dry cleaning alone.
