No problems for me. Maybe zip them closed
Sorry, there was a problem.

Likelihood of Damage: a. Scratches or Dents: Zippers, metal buttons, or other similar items can, in theory, scratch or dent the interior of the drum, especially if the drum is made from softer materials (e.g., stainless steel with a less durable finish). b. Damage to Laundry: Metal objects can also snag other items, especially delicates, and cause rips or tears. c. Wear Over Time: While it may not immediately ruin the drum, repeated exposure to sharp metal edges could cause gradual wear Preventive Measures: a. Use a Mesh Bag: Place clothing with zippers, buttons, or other hard metal parts inside a mesh laundry bag. This keeps them contained, minimizing the risk of them coming into direct contact with the drum or other clothes. b. Close Zippers and Buttons: Always zip up jackets, bags, or any clothing with metal zippers, and fasten buttons before placing them in the washer. This reduces the likelihood of the metal making direct contact with the drum. c. Inspect Before Washing: Before loading clothes, check for any exposed metal parts (like loose buttons or broken zippers) and the pockets of metal objects.
