You thought you had cleaned up the mess in the washing machine, but now you find yourself saying, “What the heck is this? The last thing you want to see is a paper diaper… It’s a bummer, but if you take care of it, it can be restored. Here are some tips on how to deal with such situations.
What happens when diapers are washed?
When you wash a disposable diaper, it becomes bloated and flat. This is because the water-absorbing polymer inside absorbs water. Originally, they were smooth plastic granules, but when they absorb water, they become jelly-like and fly out of the torn diaper, sticking to the washing machine and laundry. The water-absorbing polymer has no problem sticking to the skin.
Take out the laundry and baste the polymers off!
You could just let it dry and take it in again. You can also put it in the washing machine again, stop it halfway through the wash, scoop out the floating polymers, and finally remove them with the cleaning tape after they are dry.
How to deal with the inside of a washing machine
Absorbent polymers contain water, so use wipes or kitchen paper instead of tissue paper.
What not to do
[Using salt and baking soda] It can cause the washing machine to rust and the polymers that you think have been reduced in size by the salt and baking soda can swell up again in the drain and clog the drain.
The final step is to check for drainage gutters.
Check the drains to make sure they are not clogged. Remove debris from the drains and if dewatering and draining are done properly, you are good to go.
summary
Always close the washing machine next time.
