Clean wet washing on floor

[Mollie3]

DP throwing wet washing just been washed in washing machine onto carpeted floor in area where there is high footfall
AIBU or is this standard practice?!

Not sure what to vote but it's neither good for the washing nor the carpet.

Why on earth would he do that?

My friends do this! Shoes on house, no carpets, floor rarely gets cleaned. Wet clean washing straight on floor (not envy)

What the hell was he thinking. That’s what a washing basket is for.

Was he raking for a favourite item of clothing he wants right away so he could tumble it and to hell with the other stuff?

Unbelievable.
I’d kill him if it were clean towels or dish towels as your face/dishes you eat from get rubbed with those and you want anything your face touches or stuff that goes on your mouth like cutlery etc to be clean. He’s a pig.

That’s what plastic laundry baskets are for.

I hate to disillusion you, but plastic laundry baskets are absolute reservoirs of bacteria. Grim.

I can see that plastic laundry baskets would be a bit germy if you put the dirty washing in, really dirty stuff, but mine are only used for clean stuff, and in any case I would prefer a plastic basket to a dirty carpet any day.

Stuff drops on the floor after being washed, like tea towels which always seem to be the only things that fall on the floor will go back in the wash until I stop dropping them on the floor. Nothing else ever seems to fall on the floor for some reason.

I agree that's what plastic laundry baskets are for. Also, they don't have to be germy. You could have 'clean' and 'dirty' baskets or you could just wipe them out with a squirt of general disinfectant every now and then.

No to clean laundry on the floor, bleugh.

Oh! It has never occurred to me to wash my laundry baskets. How am I still alive? #slattern

Crikey. I'm assuming that if you're on AIBU he must have told you that he thinks it's both a reasonable and common thing. Has he been doing it regularly for years and you've only just found out? YNBU.

I clean my washing baskets with dettox spray. My upstairs laundry basket has a cotton lining that goes in the wash with the clothes. It isn't difficult.

My child used one of my washing baskets as a den the other day and it cannot be salvaged. Since then I've pulled out the odd load onto the floor. But it's a clean kitchen floor.

I have never died of dirty laundry basket so I'll risk using them

Thanks everyone for your replies yes apparently he’s always done it 😳
Particularly annoying because we have a young child and so obviously the ummm tainted clothes for want of a better word will be pawed and chewed... hopefully everything will be ok 🤔
