I guess I'm still getting used to my new babies, even though I've washed at least 150 loads since I got them in early January. Silly me! |
After a quick lawn mow and last clean up at the small house before the State Fair starts on Thursday, we picked up Pad Thai and eggrolls to go and headed home. I quickly pushed my gym clothes into the washer, added detergent (what I thought was my normal amount) and turned it on. It usually takes an hour for the wash which would have made my dryer time end between 9 and 9:30 pm. I got up and checked at about 8:15 and instead of a darkened washer, there was a computer code I hadn't see before: SUDS.
Suds. Really? I had to go into the manual to discover that apparently there were too many suds and that the washer would sit on standby until they had reduced and then automatically begin again. OK - that was fine - the machine wasn't broken and giving me a weird "help me" code, but it also meant that I wouldn't be able to stick my clothes into the dryer until this morning and would have to wear my alternate set of gym clothes (much less comfortable).
Too much detergent is too much of a good thing. Who knew? |
Well, that'll teach me. Too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing. I'm not exactly sure how I overdid it, but I was in a rush and maybe just poured more in than necessary. I'll keep a closer eye on my measurements in the future. But now, I'm sitting in front of the computer in my alternate gym clothes and I'm not super happy about that. Alas. Happy Tuesday, everyone!
