Help- how do I de-contaminate my washing?

[Riv]

Posting for traffic here.
So ashamed and now don’t know what to do.
Friends dropped in and, you know how it goes, they stayed for supper, wine was taken.... they’ve just left.
Horror of horrors! My washing! It’s still on the line! Its been darked on!
How can I possibly put this right before anyone realises irl?
AIBU to just sneak it back into the cupboard and hope no one has noticed?
Can anyone suggest what I can do for the best? Will re-washing do the trick? Do I need a special darkening remover? Some secret mumsnet chant? I think I can iron some of the things, but will that make it worse? I rarely iron anything but will do it as penance if I must.
Please help me to hide this shame😰

Can you claim on insurance?

Maybe burn it all?

(I put mine out Friday, it got rained on overnight, so I left it out on Saturday to re-dry and brought in in yesterday. I think I'm going to hell!)

It’s the spider penises you really have to worry about.

You have to emigrate. There is no other recovery.

Ahhh, I bloody hate the MN ‘darked on’ nonesense.

This thread should have a trigger warning.

I think you need to cover it in flammable liquid, set it alight, while smashing two large metal containers together to imitate thunder. That way you can say it was struck by lightning. 👚👖👗🕷 🌩 🔥

I’m sorry for your shame, OP.

😂😂😂😂 well I hang mine out at night if I'm out sharp and I know it will be nice. What happens to me?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh MustShow how can you live with yourself? Sending unmumsnetty hugs.

I changed the beds on friday and hung the bedding out to dry when it was hot, and then it rained all day saturday and sunday, so it stayed out til this evening. Do I need to burn it all now?

AltheaVestr1t I’d forgotten about them... do I need a special beaker to catch them in?
I’m doomed aren’t I.

Best excuse for a new wardrobe ever. Bin the lot!

Going to try hopping around chanting that it doesn’t work for me and that no is a complete sentence whilst eating a biscuit.
Maybe I’ll have to LTB (on the line)?

You monster. I don't know how you even dare admit such a thing. Oh the shame 🤦🏼‍♀️

Get the for sale board up first thing in the morning. You'll never be able to look the neighbours in the face again

I have a confession to make. When the quilt cover came out of the washing machine, there wasn't enough room on the clothes horse for it and I wasn't about to put the most expensive bedlinen I own into the tumble drier in midsummer. So I told DP to hang it on the line.

He went 'what, now?'.

I'm so sorry, MNetters.

I told him 'Yes, it'll be fine getting darked on and any spider willies will brush off in the morning'.

I got. A Look.

He still went and hung it out, though.

what the hell does ‘darked laundry’ look like exactly ?

You do know your washing is covered in spider jizz now don't you!

In this hot weather I purposely hang all my just washed clothes on the line in the dark before I go to bed.

What is going to happen to me?

You can't see it with the naked ( sorry) eye. However, be assured, it's been irrevocably altered. Do not attempt to iron. This will intensify the malaise. Once the process of spider wildly necrosis has been accelerated by the ddarkling, you will have to humainly dispose of the linen, before heading for A and E. If your own exposure has been more than a few mins, you will have only a few short( and painful) weeks in this realm, and possibly the next. Be warned.

Mine is still out. It's not meant to rain tonight, couldn't be bothered getting out on when it was still slightly damp. Sod it!

I'm the talk of my neighbourhood.
I don't feel any shame at all.
I like spider willies SO THERE!!!

I did this the other day! Kept me awake! Had to get up early and creep out!

Getting it in!
I'm lying on darked on bedding, the spider jizz is addling my brain...

Mine got darked on last week in the good weather - it was so damp from dew so it had to go in the dryer

You'll be the talk of the washhouse!

Shame! (Rings bell)
Shame! (Rings bell)
Shame! (Rings bell)

Can i just say as a point of fact that spiders don't actually have willies!!! ,
