Help! I washed a disposable diaper in the washing machine and it made a huge mess! What should I do?
Question:I haven't dried the load yet, but all of those little plastic bead things are stuck to the clothes and all over the inside of the washing machine. Any suggestions?

re wash the clothes again it should really help. i have done this several times.
sorry no help but I feel for ya
Not an easy solution, but I think the best thing would be to put the clothes in a tub of water. I think the beads would float and you can skim them off. You'll have to swish the clothes around so that the beads will loosen from the clothes. You should wipe the inside of the washing machine too.
Let the washing machine dry out, it will be easier to clean, heck you could probably use the hose from your vacuum cleaner. Shake your clothes outside after you have let them sit for a bit and they will come right off your clothes. You could throw them in the dryer but you risk the fact that they may melt and stick to your clothes.
The point is disposable diapers are meant to absorb water, when they are dry the are no longer "expanded". Let things dry out for a bit. If you need to use your washing machine ASAP get a wet cloth and wipe them out. Sticky and not so easy but things would be way easier if you keep the lid open and let it all dry out.
Good luck, I bet you won't make that mistake again!! (ha ha). Trust me years from now you will look back at this and laugh your a&* off.
