The cause of this damage is due to foreign particles trapped in your washing materials. This can happen several ways such as,

* Improper storage of materials when not in use.
* Improper materials such as using Dishsoap* (See bottom note), old T-Shirts etc.
* Improper washing techniques which lead to further damage in the drying stage.



Materials
The following materials are recommended for proper washing.

* Two regular Wash bucket
