What's the worst thing that can accidentally go in the washing machine with your washing?

Today I found a tissue amongst my black clothing....

@SweetMae Well you should clean them up good before repacking them for use. 🤭

SweetMae · 70-79, F

@WindTherapy 🤭 They were shiny clean after that!!

Tissues are the worst-but I have several t-shirts that are strangely coloured because I washed them with something that ran.

Ink pen 😒

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

Oh yes. Do you remember those ink cartridges that went in to cartridge pens 'back in the day'? Many a time they messed up a white school blouse. @Montanaman

@pennynoodles exactly 😒

I was doing laundry at an apartment laundromat one time and when I took my clothes out of the dryer they all had little spots of colors all over them in various colors. The lady that cleaned the laundry was there and told me it looked like bits of colored chalk had been thrown into the machine, and she gave me a bottle of Goo-Goo, I had to treat each spot & rewash but it took all the colors off.

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

Oh no. I once dyed my husband's socks pink. @cherokeepatti

@cherokeepatti I've had to give away all my cream colored towels, because they show the rust spots from my apartment building's hot water heater...and those don't come out.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@4meAndyou You can use Carbona Rust Remover on them but that would be expensive. I found out it will take out red mud stains on white athletic shoes that I bought and wore once and got stained up.

Beautywithin · 36-40, F

Tissue for sure my kids are forever leaving them in school trousers

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

Yep@Beautywithin

Crazychick · 36-40, F

@Beautywithin Ewww. Nobody does that. I hope.

4meAndyou · F

Oh gosh...that used to happen to me constantly. After my mother began to have dementia, and I would come over and do her laundry, and I would ALWAYS forget to check ALL her pockets...and ALL her pockets were always stuffed with old nasty Kleenex. Nasty shredded Kleenex with static cling...that's what I remember. 😖

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

I honestly spent an hour brushing all the thousands of bits from the clothes and still had to rewash them afterwards. @4meAndyou

4meAndyou · F

@pennynoodles It's horrifying when it happens. Almost as bad as cat hair that won't wash off your sheets...😖

@Eddiesolds Why put work cloths in the washing machine? Aren't they covered in oil and dirt?

Eddiesolds · 61-69, M

@Crazychick not at all. Just dirt. If something is covered in oil, I throw them away.

Crazychick · 36-40, F

@Eddiesolds It's not necessary to put them in the machine with your clothes though, is it? You could wash them separately. I would.

Did they leave Graffiti on the drum of your washing machine lol @Heartlander

@pennynoodles I put it down to experience, my wife and kids had an entirely different name for it.

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

I can well imagine 🤪@Johnblackthorn

rjc36 · 56-60, M

Sounds like you will have to rewash them. But the worst thing to go into the washer with your clothes might be your brand new phone. 😬

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

OH yes, that would be catastrophic and easily done, too. @rjc36

I washed a pillow and it got gutted and the filling was all over.

Now I just wash them in the tub.

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

JoyfulSilence · 46-50, M

@pennynoodles I used the delicate cycle, but it still snagged on something, somehow.

@MarineBob or bullets!

pennynoodles · 56-60, F

And the worst thing about that is that although you can hear them clunking about ruining your machine, there is very little you can do mid cycle. @MarineBob

MarineBob · 56-60, M

@pennynoodles yeah and clothes and washer are just about the same price

ozgirl512 · 26-30, F

Tissues of any description!
