Note to self: It is okay to leave the laundry detergent sitting on the dryer while doing laundry, but ONLY if you have screwed the lid on tightly. And even then, probably not a good idea.
I am working from home today while we are getting new carpet installed in the basement (more to come on that later), and while doing said work, I decided to get a headstart on the chores and get all of our laundry done today. Great idea, no? About 3 loads in, I hear the signal that the next load is finished, go upstairs and find that the entire floor is blue. Blue! Blue, as in the color of our laundry detergent. At first, I thought that the washer had overflowed. Yeah, not so much. I had left the laundry detergent sitting on the dryer, lid on the container, but not screwed on at all. Apparently, the spin cycle of our washer caused it to fly off the dryer, spilling onto the floor, splattering the walls and basically everything else around. Fantastic. To make matters worse, I stepped in it with one of my socks, felt the coldness of the liquid on my foot, freaked out, and stepped on the hall carpet, leaving a pretty little blue footprint.
