Really BAD Laundry Day
I'm pretty sure that as far as laundry goes, this day could not get any worse for me. Heck, I didn't know it could get this bad.
I'm in deep-cleaning mode this week. I took down all my blinds and had them cleaned, I washed interior windows and cleaned window tracks ( I hate that job.) I washed all the curtains and carpets will be cleaned next week. Right now I'm in the process of washing all the bedding. I decided I wanted my bedspread/comforter washed but it's too big for my washer. I decided to take it to the laundromat to use the large-capacity washers. I loaded it up, along with my detergent and headed out. Damon and I went to lunch with my brother and when we got back in the car I could smell the soap. I just figured it was really concentrated and being in a small space for an hour just made it extra potent. When we got to the laundromat I discovered the detergent had spilled all over the cargo space. I buy liquid degtergent in the bottles that have the dispenser spout. One must loosen the lid on top of the bottle to relieve pressure in order for the soap to flow. Well, I forgot that my lid was all the way unscrewed and just sitting atop the bottle. The bottle was completely empty and I probably had enough detergent for at least 10 more loads. Do you have any idea how hard it is to clean that up? I can't get all the soap out. On the bright side, my car smells really, really good.
So, back to the laundromat, I put my comforter in the wash and start the cycle. Unfortunately, those big washers don't have a cycle for delicates. I realized that but thought my spread would be sturdy enough. I was wrong. My comforter, that I've had for only 6 months is ripped in several places. I may be able to fix it, I don't know yet.
Laundry has always been one of the more pleasant household chores for me. I've always kinda like it. But not after today.
