Never place a large piece of cast iron next to residential laundry equipment, this is a sure way to render it unusable, the chemicals that keep your cotton clothing clean and soft will extract positive ions from the metals causing the loss of untold lives and possible machine damage.
I was taught years ago at trade school that Downy fabric softener was the worst culprit, do not get it anywhere near a large steel machine tool.
I don't know if Downey fabric softener ions attack metals but it sure attacked me with a serious allergy rash that I discovered with my Fruit-of-the Loom shorts !
