Ledgie Laundry Mishaps...

DrummerDeanna · #1 07-11-2005, 11:28 AM

So I was doing laundry last night and I took the blacks out of the wash - but just had a few minutes to wait for the dryer to finish its load - so all my black stuff was resting on the sides of the opne washing machine - so I thought I'd get my load of whites started...

So I'm pouring the bleach into the machine thinking at that moment I must be the stupidest person ever - all my black clothes - on the washer and me witha big heavy bottle of bleach - luckily nothing happened...

Anyway -then I had a stain on some Kahki pants - so I used a stain remover -that SAID it was color safe...my ass!! My pants are all splotchy and gross looking now (this was a seperate day - no bleach was involved) -I was so mad

Um lets see..

Oh the worst?

Doing a load of black laundry - and I forgot to take a kleenex out of one of the pockets...it was awful....

Anyway - any interesting Ledgie laundry mishaps to share?

I remember when I first moved out on my own...I was 19 yrs old and had my 1st apartment. Well I'm embarrased to say my mama always did my laundry. She was a stay-at-home mom so...

ANYHOW...I mixed bleach and ammonia together in my whites. There was this noxious fume that went up like a cloud in the laundry closet. I nearly passed out breathing it! Told my mom about it later that day and she died laughing...she said "Goodness gracious havent I taught you anything!?"

That's too funny! I've gotten bleach stains on clothes because of splashed bleach on machines at the laundromat. I really don't use the laundromat anymore because the last time I went I looked into the tub and there were little hairs everywhere. I looked at 2 more, they also had them. I walked out and haven't been back since.

It does? But it's so foul on its own

Eh- I guess it's like Vinegar for towels...who knew laundry was such an art

Yeah I later learned it's a toxic gas that is created, and it can actually kill you in a brief amount of time.

I can't remember what I mixed with Bleach - but I once mixed Bleach with something in my bathroom - I was doing some hard-core cleaning - the fumes became so great - my eyes started burning/watering then I started coughing - my throat felt all raw and gross- it was horrible - I immediatly went out side but my throat remained weird for a few days

Whatever it was, it had ammonia in it. Didn't you people learn about this in science class? Also, my parents used to warn us about it. Be careful, geesh!

This one is really bad. I mean, i was really bad at the time. Okay, so, when I was 21 I had this one boyfriend I cheated on. Never cheated again. So.
I lived in the upstairs part of the house with my cheetee as my roomate. My boyfriend that I cheated on lived downstairs. In the back part of the house lived the best friends of my cheetee's ex/current girlfriend (the one he cheated with me on) and also they were friends with my boyfriend. The night before my 22nd birthday, I put a load of all my cutest summer delicates in the house washer. I went to move them to the dryer the next morning, on my birthday, and there were bleach spots on them everywhere. everywhere. All my cutest clothes, on my birthday. It could've been an accident? But I don't really think it was. SABOTAGE!!!!!!

Anyway, don't cheat kids. It can ruin your laundry.
