HELP- sposie went through wash w/ my cloth dipes!

[Katielady]

My mom was visiting and kept putting my son's sposies into the pail with my daughter's cloth dipes. (I just switched fairly recently to cloth for my baby; DS is three and refuses to wear cloth and I decided not to make an issue of it.)

I thought I got them all out but I missed one! OMG, the nasty polymer gel stuff is EVERYWHERE. How do I get this stuff off my fuzzibunz and out of my washer? I read something online about salt- anyone tried that? I'm afraid to dry my diapers before I find out more, and I have mountains of laundry to do tomorrow. AUGH!

The same thing happened to someone else recently. You might try looking at the last few pages.

It's happened to me a few times. All I did was run a couple extra rinses, no biggie.

Thanks y'all. I did an extra cycle with baking soda and vinegar, after wiping out the inside of the washer to try to get as much of the gel as I could. Seemed OK. I hate that my diapers have been exposed to the very gel I've been wanting to avoid, though! Oh well. Hopefully DS will PL soon and I won't have to deal with two separare diaper systems any more.
