We not we, my husband once put a dirty 💩 nappy in the dryer. Don’t know why or how it happened, but the smell was unreal 🤢

Wow 😁 3 kids in never done that…. (Well except for when we used cloth nappies obvs) Definitely going to happen soon now I’ve said that haha.

I read it as putting a puppy into the machine, which would be even worse!

Always looks worse than it is. I take the load outside or over the bathtub and shake each item hard to get all the polymer off. Then run it through a quick rinse cycle.

@MimiSunshine oh noooo!!!! Mine was only a pee nappy thankfully! It's the aftermath all over my kitchen floor that's a pain!

@BingoMarieHeeler well done you! Haha if I had 3 I'm sure I would have done it several times.

@Spidey66 oh gosh no. Thankfully wasn't a puppy!

I've basically thrown ds nappy downstairs to put in the bin then shortly after I've thrown a wash load down to of course put in the washer. On rushing I've picked said nappy up with washing and popped it all in there!!! Arghhhhh

I did this once. Putting the load in the tumble drier for the 10 minute cool down bit of the cycle removed most of it (also works for tissue!)

Never done it with a nappy but have often put trousers in the wash without remembering the (unused!) tampon in the pocket. I was picking pieces of fluff off the clothes for hours, so it must be far worse with a nappy

Oh god I've done this a few times (4 kids). There is nothing worse, it's such a pain to get all the crud off!!
I do not recommend trying to hoover it up... I had a bigger job of cleaning the hoover out after I tried that Grin

@eandz13 I did this last time! Haha almost ruined the hoover!
