Oh No! Tissue In The Wash...

[horseshoes]

There was a tissue in a pocket when I did my laundry and it is ALL OVER my black top. WHAT A MESS. Has it ever happened to you? What's the best way to get it off. Thank you.

Yes - worst nightmare

rewash then tumble dry.

Yes, terrible isn't it - took ages to get it back to normal via a combination of hand-picking, sellotaping, and multiple washes.

Always in the dark wash, isn't it? As Woof says, or a sticky roller or sellotape rolled around your hand. x

do a rinse/spin cycle using conditioner then if you have a tumble drier use that. If you have no tumble drier its a nightmare, basically you'l have to shake it as best you can and use a clothes brush or pieces of sticky tape to remove the bits after the item has dried.

:-( thanks all. No, I don't have a tumble drier, but I do have some of those lint rollers as we have a cat! Fingers crossed! Thanks again.

I have done that, I managed with a very good shake and sellotape.

Always a good idea to wash clothes inside out (especially jeans and joggers) to minimise the effect in such circumstances!

I've heard that some vinegar in the fabric conditioner drawer helps to get fluff etc from clothes. Tried it with pet hair with a little success, but I also have lint rollers handy for the long "de-fluff"
