Every time we wash our clothes, one of us ends up with holes in their pants. We can't figure out why?

This only happens when my brother washes his jeans. No one else has had this problem. He is also begining to see discoloration on the rest of his clothing.Every time we wash our clothes, one of us ends up with holes in their pants. We can't figure out why?
There might be something on his pants that gets caught on itself. Like the zipper where the pull is attached might be sticking out.Every time we wash our clothes, one of us ends up with holes in their pants. We can't figure out why?
Get rid of the jeans...or you could have a rat or mouse in your laundry room, this happened to someone I know a long time ago. You'll never see them, they come out at night, and chew up everything, put out some ';mouse d-con,'; UNLESS you have pets, or put it somewhere up high, where your pets can't reach it. If you have cats, DO NOT ever use any type of poison because they can jump up and get to it. Then you should get an exterminator to handle it, they are very good.
Make sure you take the knives out of your pockets before you wash them.
bleach!!!
does your son work with chemicals..... like batteries (acid) or any other chemicals @ work?? this would put holes in your clothes.
It sounds like the load is too large, too much/rough detergent and I turn them inside out to keep color fresh, but always zip those zippers up when you check the pockets. Zippers tend to age your clothing faster and snag shirts, etc. You'll also know that they're clean if they're zipped. Little known Ancient Chinese secret.
....Does your brother have a knife in the pocket...
tell him to wash then on a warm/cold or cold/cold delicate cycle...remember to read your tags. Also, put them in for about 20 mins on low heat and then ';line'; dry.





Also, for dress pants and shirts (work clothes) for longer life even if they say machine wash cold and fluff dry get them dry cleaned anyway...just a tip for later life. it will make them last longer.
maybe there is something sharp in his pockets
Humm, okay... too many clothes in the washer or are you adding bleach to your wash. Are you washing clothes after someone washing white clothes... maybe bleach still in the washer... do you separate colors and whites? These are all problems for discoloration but the holes can be the ripping the clothes apart or is your brother a mechanic... battery acid. Here's something... the activities your brother's into, can they be like skate boarding and sliding on the ground? I had the neighbor using bleach to clean his sidewalk... not rinsing the cement... brother sitting on the cement... even if the cement is dry... the acid is still there.
maybe your brother angered the washer gnomes!!! o.o





oorr maybe he's putting the holes in his pants for... 'fashion' reasons and doesn't want your mom to be all ';I PAID BLAH BLAH BLAH FOR THOSE AND YOU PUT HOLES IN THEM!jKLJQW''; .. so he blames it on the washer haha. i should have done that!!! lol
Tell him to stop using bleach on clothes that aren't white.
funny!
sounds to me like he is using javax in the water.
Way to Cafeene. My kind of answer.
what is he using to wash his clothing??? if he is using too much detergent, to much cleaning agent, too much bleach, etc, this could happen. also tell him to check his pockets and make sure there is nothing sharp that would damage his clothing in the wash. Check the inside of your washer and dryer to make sure there is no broken plastic attached to the tumblers, and other foreign objects that would puncture clothing.
Empty your pockets when you wash your pants and if that doesn't work, then put less clothes in at a time, and put it in the dryer right after the clothes is finished.
try wash his clothes separatly from yours and see
if ur washer has spikes in it thats y
I would check the barrel of the washer thoroughly to make sure there is nothing caught in one of the little holes. Also, make sure that there is nothing left in any of the pants pockets that might cause holes.





Is he rough on pants? I know my boyfriend is, and he ends up wearing out the fabric prematurely.





Wash all dark clothes in cold water to preserve color.
It's your detergent. It is too rouch for your fabrics. However, you also may be using improper settings for your loads.
I use to have that problem but I finally found me a smaller rock and quit hitting the clothes so hard. The holes just stopped magically.


PS I'm not kidding.
