A tissue in the wash

I have just taken a load of 'dark' washing out of the machine only to find it covered in bits of white.

I always check the washing meticulous for lurking tissues before it goes into the machine but every now and then one manages to sneak in

There can be few things more infuriating than picking bits of tissue off the washing, no matter how much you shake it some bits remain ...

I don't have a tumble drier Julie I guess I could roll on the lawn with it
Some of the items are black tights so sellotape is a no no...

Pays to take out the drain filter at the bottom, even if no tissue has got through sure to be a load of other gunk.

Eric Last time I did that I flooded the kitchen but it is a good thing to clean it out.

Re: A tissue in the wash

The wife automatically goes through my pockets before she puts any of my stuff in, not sure whether thats a good thing or not because I already go through them before I give them for washing.

Re: A tissue in the wash

Its a regular occurrence here too. No matter how careful I am, one seems to lurk somewhere. ALWAYS find their way to black items.

The tumble dryer does take care of a lot of it but still left with little bits everywhere. I usually pick them off when I'm ironing.
