Has this ever happened to anyone? I took the laundry out of the wash only to find billions of tiny gel beads over everything. (I knew I should have used cloth)I just put it into the dryer hoping the filter will filter them out, but I am still waiting. What to do?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Well, It came out of the dryer without a single gel ball. And yes, I made it through this without marriage counseling...lol ;)Thanks for writing in reference to the diapers at least.

I agree with everyone else. I have had it happen a couple of times and I just rewash that load and it gets rid of the gel beads.

Hi E.,

Yes , my 3 year old forgot to separate her pajama pants from her pull up, so been there done that.same situation with the gel beads and I did the same thing, put it in the dryer hoping it would help. It didn't!!! I re-washed all of the stuff and it came out perfectly. So I would suggest rewashing the stuff. Hope this helps!

Take care,
D.

Kind of shocking isn't it!! :) I was suprised to find all of those little beads. I think I just rewashed everything- better yet make your husband do it. :)

Donna BS's message is rude. I think it is perfectly understandable that you can be P-Oed at someone you love when they do something stupid that creates a lot more work for you. Sure, it was a mistake, but come on -- it was a stupid mistake. She has every right to be annoyed and that doesn't mean she has problems with her relationship. Good grief.

Throw the whole thing of laundry back in the washer on the longest setting you have and good luck.

Drying makes it worse! You'll have to pick all the pilled fabric off each peace of clothing, Washing again after cleaning out as many gel beads as you can is the best bet.

Hi E.
I had that happen to me but I didn't run the wash again I used the vaccum hose attachment and sucked all the gel beads out and then washed the clothes again. Be thankful it was only one, I had 2 go through the wash that day. I hope this works for you L.:0)
