I’m losing my mind!!! What is causing these holes in my clothes? Some are tiny, while others are much bigger. They keep appearing on more andOne of the things I was wrong about initially was how damaging my washing machine was being to my wardrobe.

Every couple of weeks, I would pick up a T-shirt and find a hole in the bottom. Initially, I didn’t think anything of it and continued to put off fixing the problem. As more T-shirts began developing the same type of damage, I became increasingly frustrated each time I did laundry.
What was unique about the situation was that the problem was limited to specific types of clothing.
Eventually, I discovered that holes in clothing are generally caused by multiple events occurring together. While some of the reasons why damage occurred were obvious once I noticed them, others genuinely surprised me.
Fortunately, most common issues related to fabric damage are easily avoided without spending money on specialized products or purchasing a new appliance. Simple changes to routine have greatly improved the longevity of my clothes.
Let’s break down what’s really causing those holes—and how you can stop them before they start.
