The easiest way to fill up space in your washing machine would be to wash your towels along with your delicate stuff.

Jeans n Denims

Jeans are heavy clothes that need a separate kind of washing. You can add your denim jackets while washing jeans. Have at least 5-7 pairs of jeans for washing. You can wash your denim clothes once in a month if you want to wash them all together.

Bed sheets and home fabrics

The fabrics used for furnishing your home like bed covers, cushion covers and table clothes can be washed together. This too must be done once in a month or 2. Fill up your soft toys inside the cushion and pillow cases to wash them without damage.
