I’ve confessed before to losing things in my house quite often.  Eyeglasses and keys seem to be the items I have the most trouble with.  Well guess where my keys turned up last night?  In the washing machine!

Thankfully, the keys and washer seem fine.  This incident reminded me of the other time I ran an unusual item, unintentionally, through the wash cycle:  the remote control for the TV.  That story also has a happy ending.  I replaced the battery and went back to controlling the television with the remote as usual. As a bonus, the remote looked clean and new.   (Please remember this is NOT the recommended method of cleaning your remote.  A damp cloth or cleaning wipe gets the job done just fine.)

Surely I’m not the only person who’s ever washed something by mistake!  Since it’s Monday, I thought it might make us all smile if we share and read stories about laundry mishaps.  So go ahead, in the Comments section below, please tell us…”what’s the strangest thing you found while doing laundry?”
