Dark concerns

[ImNegan]

For reasons I won't go into -DH I'm looking at you- our laundry was "darked on" overnight.
AIBU to consider one of the following remedial actions?:

a) throw the clothes away and buy replacements. It was a washing line full, all in very good condition so would be costly.

b) invest in a tanning sun bed (saw a used one for £2.5k on eBay) and use it to bring the laundry back to the "light". Could be a good back up in the event he does this shit again.

c) LTB.

I'll go with the highest vote, I'm really not precious about it. Thanks.

just wear them as normal.

Get a priest in to dedark your washing.
Or a medicine man.
Or find an angel to shine their halo on it.
Only solutions.

[WillowWeeping]

Could you try again in English?

[gwenneh]

I mean if you asked him to bring the laundry in then the only solution is LTB. You don't need that in your life!

[ImNegan]

It needs to be added to the Oxford if not already.

Darked on: applies to laundry left on the washing line overnight attracting to it spider sweat, owl dribble and foxes' fungal nail infection pus.

Or something.

[Wolfiefan]

OP you clearly should have put lighthearted in your title!
There have been lots of discussions on here about leaving washing out overnight. Many posters expressed horror that the washing would get "darked on!"

[ImNegan]

I can't just wear them! The dark would spread.

[ExplodedCloud]

Clary sage.

[Gwencooper81]

Oh goodness me. I can't believe it's been darked on. You do know spiders have rubbed their willies on your undies don't you?
Buy the sunbed..it's a small priced to pay for truly light and clean washing.
Best wishes.
my washing was out for ages last week in the rain.. its natures fabric conditioner don't ya know?!

[Whatthefuckis1tnow]

Mine was also darked on last night, only because I couldn't be arsed to bring it in! I've set it all on fire already 😂

[SuperMoonIsKeepingMeUpToo]

Do you mean you had a mixed wash accident? (Live that term!) Put it in again with a cup of white wine vinegar www.cleanipedia.com/gb/laundry-washing/colour-run-removers-remove-dye-from-clothes.

[ImNegan]

Wolfie I think you're right. Should have set the scene with the "lighthearted" disclaimer

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

It's an MN thing - i think it's intended to be an amusing reflection on someone leaving clothes on the line overnight

[ChazsBrilliantAttitude]

Scrub it with a babywipe, they clean everything including getting "the dark" off washing
TRUFACT

[SnotGoblin]

Mine almost got darked on on Sunday but I came to my senses and brought it in before I fell asleep on the couch . La vida loca!

[wineusuallyhelps]

Just got my washing in after leaving it out overnight - there was a small spider web touching the edge of my joggers. Can't cope.

[wonkylegs]

Yup a baby wipe dry clean will solve everything including being darked on.

[AnotheBloodyChinHair]

Spiders have willies?

[HerRoyalFattyness]

The dark would spread

Maybe some dark spreads, but surely you're educated enough to know that NADILT (Not All Dark Is Like That)

[sonlypuppyfat]

Zoflora is the answer to everything

[ImNegan]

There are so many great choices now, thank you helpful pps but with my luck I fear some of the cheaper ones won't work. I'm going to have to find an angel with a shiny halo, aren't I?

[loaferloveforyou]

LTB - there's no excuse for that

[OpalTree]

Leave it in the sun all day. The sun's healing rays will cure it. I do it all the time.
