Diaper Gel on clothes!!

[Trentmom]

I am such an idiot!!!!!

I accidentally washed DS clothes with 3 clean diapers that had fallen into his hamper...

So, his clothes are now covered in gel and diaper material..

So, I ran an empty hot cycle to clean out washing machine and am redoing his wash right now in hot water.

I read on another site, to throw them in the dryer for one or two cycles and most of it should be caught by lint trap. Whatever isn't it, should brush off easy.

So, I will be putting then in the dryer in a few minutes.

I am just super worried as all of his underwear was in ther eminus 2 pairs, almost off his socks, 4 pairs of jeans, 5 pairs of sweatpants, a few new summer shirts, a couple of PJ Pals from Disney and 3 or 4 new outfits for the summer.


That is going to be expensive to replace if it doesn't come off.

So, has anyone else done this and been successful in getting it off the clothes?

Please make me feel better!!

I've done this countless times. Sometimes a diaper slipped into the laundry, esp with the older kids who were training and would strip down and through the pants, diaper and all into the laundry basket. It's always come out for us sometimes it just took a little work.

Good to hear that I am not the only one.

Did you have to brush the clothes off for like an hr or did it seem to brush right off once it was dried?

Thanks for helping me feel better.

I guess I am just in for a long night.....

Well, the wash is done a nd a bout 75% is fine.....

I just put them in the dryer. Wish me luck on the rest!!

It seems to be the biggest problem is with any dark blue clothing.....4 pairs of sweatpants, one pair of pajamas, not disney, thank god... , and a winter shirt that he is outgrowing.....so I might only have to toss a few items....

Thanks for listening to my vent.....

Everything looks great except for 2 shirts.....as they were inside out and some stuff got stuck to the sleeves. So, gling to dry them one more time. If not, no biggies.

Feel a lot better now!!!

Thanks to anyone who listened....

Glad to hear everything's coming out OK. I'll bet most parents have washed a disposable diaper or two in their day! I know I did!
