How Much Laundry Should I Put In On A Synthetic Wash Load?

Ha ha I'm over 10 years too late - but probably not as they are so light and probably still weigh less than a normal cottons load

Thanks for advice Andy - a useful article!

I think I may have overloaded the machine actually - i stuffed so many in that that there was no room for my hand to fit in after (certinaly not a 3 or 4in gap at the top)

Other than the bibs probably not having a great wash - is the overloading likely to cause premature wear to the washing machine do you think?

I too play football on these surfaces but I've managed to avoid having to wash the bibs <fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/default_smile.png I would try to shake as much sand off as possible before putting them in the washing machines. You should be able to put all the bibs in I would have thought, the drum can be fairly full as long as there is room for the laundry to move around as described here - Have a look at this article explaining about overloading How to load a washing machine properly

Many thanks for the reply, really appreciate it - does that mean it's relatively safe to 'stuff' in as many as possible? I'm not too bothered about getting a perfect wash, just rather to freshen them up and then dry them for the next session.

Also, whilst we're on the subject of bib washing (!), we play on an artificial surface, which has lots of plastic sand particles (for grip i think). Like normal sand, they appear to get everywhere. I give the bibs a bit of a shake before washing them, but was just wondering if I would risk damaging the machine if too many of these got in? If so, then I'm thinking I may just take the bibs to a laundrette, that have more robust machines

Thanks again for your help
