So a person on here helped me by explaining that towels/washclothes can help absorb the vibration so it doesn't get to the test tubes. Or something along those lines.. But he also warned me about fumes from cleaning things used to clean them in the wash machine... So instead I switch it out by adding a big cloth thing underneath it which hasn't been washed for over a year. It is two inch thick of this cloth underneath the test tube holders. Is this bad or okay?
