The most likely result from washing car carpets in a front loader would be a torn boot. I did this in my Neptune early on, and the result was that the hard plastic backing on the carpets abraded the boot. There was a slight smell of burnt rubber/plastic, as well. Otherwise I think it's kind of difficult to kill a front loader by overloading it. I have washed polypropylene area rugs up to 5' x 7' in the Neptune without mishap. I fold them up carefully and place them in the washer so that they are likely to be wedged against the sides of the drum, and not against the door. The "smoke coming out the back" of the Swedish front loader might be the result of an abraded boot... and the air vent is probably at the back of the washer. That's probably where oversudsing probably comes out as well. Advice the dumb blonde next time to take her car carpets to a laundromat with an inattentive or non-existent attendant. |

WELL I NEVER! LOL. Think of what is in your underwear! I have also done my car mats in my F/L-er with pine oil to disnfect. I don't skieve/skeeve (sp? ) what I did one bit. In theory there should be no traces of YUK in the machine when it is done. ..and if anyone out there a candidate for an OCD clean-freak label it is I! |

Seeing now one of the carpets in question... I vote for some tassels breaking off and clogging this or that. Or maybe the washer was on the verge of failure? I wouldn't be so harsh on the young lady. Unless she forcibly overstuffed the washer, it might not be her fault. But if she had to cram the rugs in there... then that was rather unintelligent. |
