This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The washer moves water up from the center and down the outside. That's how it agitates the clothes to clean them.
You're supposed to load items into the washer in a circle around the outside. Most things don't matter, but something like a blanket can get stuck like this and won't be cleaned as well.
You're supposed to lay it in like a long snake in a circle around the outside, but I have done that and sometimes it still ends up like this :-(
This doesn't apply to a front loader, does it?
For a front loader you want to make sure it's not too clumped. It'll take WAY longer if you put it in as a wad because it needs to balance everything to centrifuge. I've got one dog blanket which I basically can't centrifuge at all because it holds on to ALL the water and unbalances the whole washing machine.
