Thought I was on the wrong forum for a minute there.

Your capsule was so great, I would have hated to have lost anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820303 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 01:08:47 +0000 Anonymous 1820303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am happy to hear this. &nbsp;So sorry you had to go through it in the first place though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820290 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 00:36:19 +0000 Emily K 1820290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's going to be OK! &nbsp;I did a lot of scrubbing with the isopropyl and a toothbrush. &nbsp;Then I rewashed. (Cleaned the washer first and found a small, still-stuck-on bit of the putty on one of the fins and a couple of pieces in the gasket!) &nbsp;The putty seems to have adhered best to the cotton fiber, so the poly belt was easiest to clean and the Levi's, the hardest. &nbsp;But I think I got the spots out to an acceptable degree on all the items. &nbsp;<b>Thank you all for your commiseration and suggestions!</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820275 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 00:08:39 +0000 bridgie 1820275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no.&nbsp; What a terrible thing to happen.&nbsp; Sorry, I have no advice, but I think most any problem can be solved by people on this forum.&nbsp; You have a few suggestions already.&nbsp; Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820264 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 23:12:59 +0000 lozz_oz 1820264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aargh! I loathe laundry disasters. Does the magic putty stick + dry like chewing gum? If so, the items could be put in the freezer to solidify and then be peeled off. Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820249 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 21:59:13 +0000 Anonymous 1820249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no!

I'm so sorry. I hope you find a solution. When I was a newlywed and went to a laundromat, our load of white clothes was contaminated by who knows what. We lived in the midst of the petrochemical industry and so not only did we have black dots on everything, but it was probably toxic as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820206 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 17:51:47 +0000 DonnaF 1820206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this like Silly Putty?&nbsp; A Google search indicates that rubbing alcohol may remove it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820204 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 17:43:45 +0000 Anonymous 1820204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NO!!!!! &nbsp;Not the&nbsp;wide-legged cream Levi's!!!! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-laundry-disaster#post-1820202 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 17:17:36 +0000 Jane 1820202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh!
