Thousands of us have no idea what the three trays in our washing machines are for

Doing the laundry - it's one of those household chores that we all waste much more time on than we'd like. Despite the amount of hours we spend on the dull duty, it seems that a lot of us don't actually know how to use our washing machines properly - a problem that has been highlighted by Capital DJ Roman Kemp this week, as reported by the Mirror.

At the age of 29, Roman - the son of Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp - admitted to his 294,000 Twitter followers that he didn't know what he should be putting in each of the three trays in the drawer at the top of his washing machine. Sharing a photo, he wrote: "I’m Roman. I’m 29 years old; and I still have no idea what I put in each of these…"

And with more than 51,000 likes on Roman's tweet, it's clear that he's not the only one who is stumped by the trays and their confusing little symbols, the Mirror reports. "I'm Sarah and am 47 and I don't know either. Please share when you know," one bemused Twitter user wrote.
