Holes in clothes?

@X2

one more thing, if the holes are appearing around armholes it may be the deodorant doing a number on the fabric.

lastly, if the shirts are 10-12 years old, they have a finite life, maybe donate them to charity and get a few new ones.

No the holes are at the chest, at the bottom of the button area (they’re all polo shirts).

@tashfeen

Can be beacuse of many things
washing machine (try to fix it out by setting the machine on washing for delicate fabric)
detergent you are using (try usng some other one)
Is it on any specific cloth (like cotton/ or old fabric like you have entioned 10-12 years old)?
Can be caused by some sall fish type worm in your wadrobe.

Hmmmm, i dont think there are any settings for it..just the size of the load and how long to wash it (super hot 14 minutes, hot for 12 etc)…these are cotton teeshirts.

We had this problem on a couple of occasions a while ago; turned out to be the metal holes in the inside of the wahing machine drum had bent outwards - can be cuased by something attaching itself to the metal whilst washing like a zip etc…the metal was quite sharp if you consider how it would affect clothes. Easy solution; just gently ‘hammered’ the metal back.
If you have a front loader machine, ry running your hands aorund the inside of the drum; if this is the problem then your fingers will ‘catch’ on the metal.

Also, wires from underwired bra’s can also cause this type of problem. It’s best to wash them in one of those net washing bags to ensure they don’t snag other clothes especially during the spin phase whilst washing

HTH

Will try checkign the machine. it opens from teh top though, not the front…bit of a challenge

@funguy

Are your nails too sharp?
