Is It Wrong?

I've been cleaning my makeup brushes by sticking them in the washing machine. For years I would try and handwash them with soap and water but they always wound feeling like I didn't get all the soap out of them. Inevitably, I would end up throwing them out and having to buy new. But recently I thought I'd throw them in the laundry. It worked! I let them air dry and they felt brand new. So the question is, am I weird for thinking of this or an absolute genius?

All clean!
