@BunSnoop DH is famous for leaving tissue in the pockets and I do as well when I have pockets.

Re: UGH.....Left Tissue in Load of Dark Clothes

Dumbest thing I did without thinking:

 

Had the condo washer filled with dark chocolate color sheets and towels.  Was in a hurry so I absentmindedly tossed in the new pack of white bar towels with the sheets and towels.  One hour later I discovered the mess....threw all but the bar towels in the dryer ( they would air dry ) and got my large roll of clear packing tape.

 

Then used the tape to do every side of the sheets and towels when dry....keep checking the lint trap !!!  ( No need to rewash them ).

Tissues in the machine are no fun, but what was even worse was when my son was little-   putting his clothes in the machine with crayons in the pocket.  Now that was a mess!!!  Can anyone relate????

Yesssss! The hubs left tissue in his sweatpants pocket. Ugh....the Kleenex was everywhere! I was screaming inside my head! It's a mess to clean. I had to vacuum the floor, washer, dryer. Now I check every pocket before I do a wash.

I've done it, I'm sure we all have.  But....last week I was doing laundry at my apartment, and found a $20 bill in the washer.   (Shared laundry room with 12 apartments).  It wasn't mine, as my load was all sheets and towels.

@BunSnoop   Despite my most HERCULEAN EFFORTS to make sure I clean my pockets before hanging up my clothes to AVOID this very annoying situation, It happened AGAIN TODAY! GRRRR!  I dealt with it OK, but re-committed myself to making sure it doesn't happen again!

Oh yeah, I've had that happen.  My more recent one was a paper towel, but it stayed intact!  Thanks Bounty!

I bet we've all done this at one time or another. Not fun but eventually it resolves!

Re: UGH.....Left Tissue in Load of Dark Clothes

Been there done that and more than once 🤦‍♀️

 

My spouse was always leaving tissues in his pockets & I always forgot to check before washing.

 

Grrrrr I'd be so mad at the mess and it usually happened with washing dark clothes!

 

@BunSnoop  your not alone lol
