    How come everything in the washing machine ends up inside the duvet cover? And I mean everything! It doesn't make any sense, yet it always happens. Is there some scientific explanation for it?

    Everything? Please - we know for a fact that one sock is not in there by the end of the load!

    If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

        Even if you don't have anything in the duvet's corners coming out of the wash, the cat will be there as soon as you try to put it on the bed. :laugh:

          I would say science but one could argue that witchcraft is also valid since the problem is too complex. It depends on many factors like the washing machine being horizontal or vertical, the type of cycle, size of drum, amount and size of whatever else is in there, fabric weaving and shape of every piece, etc. Personally never had anything end up inside the duvet cover. Ever. But the bed sheets wrapping around everything else happens a lot. And they get so tightly packed that I sometimes doubt if they are washed :sigh: The solution I found is to put those pieces alone inside a washing machine net with small enough holes that nothing can get inside. If nothing works for you, you can always try feeding it before washing :laugh:

            This happens not only to you. My hypothesis is that: it is easier for garments to enter the duvet, than to leave it.

              Ah, now that would be the [Eater of Socks](https://wiki.lspace.org/Eater\_of\_Socks), which is witchcraft, or rather, wizardcraft.

              If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

                  There is a product called wadfree (.com) where you pin the four corners of the sheets together. I have not used it.

                    Thank you. Did not knew about that but doesn't it just turn a sheet into a bag? I have watched some videos of that product and they always wash the sheet alone. Hmmm... Anyway, the bag I use has holes just big enough so that lint can came out but (even the smallest) socks can not go in, the sheet does not wrap and only cost me 1€ a long time ago.

                      Because you insist on washing everything with the duvet cover. It is a message from the duvet great beyond.
