I Washed My Son's Cell Phone!

You wouldn't be the only one who has done this.My husband accidently dropped his mobile phone in a fire.Somehow how he retrieved it without gett8ing burnt & it still worked after,. When I do the washing, I find all sorts of things. In my opinion, it is not the fault of the asher, but the person who didn't remove items from their pockets before they dumped their clothes in the dirty clothes basket. The most interesting item I have washed is a $20 note.

Oh!You are so lucky!It make me surprise that it still can be used.Well,I sometimes will wash my money,so I always dry a line of money on the desk.

Wow! great that cellphone is very durable and you are good as well because you made it work again. That is very good as cellphone is one of the things that is valuable and it will just be wasted if it will not work again. Me, so far i haven't yet accidentally washed some things like that maybe just paper bill so far.

LOL We used to have a foster kid that was terrible about that. I washed car keys, money (large bills), change, medicines, work badges, driver's licenses, cell phones, you name it. With 10 ppl in the house I did not have time to check every pocket so if it went through the wash it was mine. The worse thing was lighters...those things can blow up in a dryer. That was something that I'd raise h*ll about. The foster kid I mentioned had to replace her driver's license like 6 times b/c she couldn't or wouldn't remember to empty her pockets. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

i had a boost mobile cell phone a long time ago and got in the car and dropped it out of my pocket into a rain puddle about 3-4 inches deep....looked down and paused for a minute was pretty upset because it was a new phone and it started ringing! lol of course i couldnt answer it but i let it dry out and it worked fine a few days later...dunno why i was so mad i bought another phone a month later anyway lol

Glad it dried out and works again. I don't do the washing so I can't comment on most interesting item...but I know my mum washes tissues by mistake lol.

That's realy something interesting. My mother once washed a $50 bill that my Dad left in his pocket. That was something interesting. She hung the bill on the clothesline, and dried it. It was his own fault for not emptying his pockets.

washing my hubbies clothes for the first time I found leaves floating around when I ask a friend she told me it was chewing tabacco . I didnt know he chewed for he only chewed at work lol

oh no and wow...i hope that it wasnt damaged in anyway. i havent washed my daughters cell, but i know she has dropped it about a 1000 times (ok, i am exagerating a tad...) and lost it in the snow and fortunately, it still works...

Just money.... not very interesting, I know. I don't put many things in my pockets. But I do have a tendency to put wadded up bills in my pocket. I have a 3 yr old little boy. I suspect the contents of my laundry will become more interesting in the next several years.

That is really strange that it worked. Usually the phone automatically stops with the slightest amount of water. I've lost three to rain. I've washed sooo many things accidentally. I don't know where to begin.

Oh no, but at least it dried out and still works, my son dropped mine into water and it was only two weeks old and has never worked since. I think no matter how many times we check the pockets something always manages to get passed us. I have washed toy soldiers, pebbles and shell from the beach, coins, gift cards, money notes, hair bands and the worst one tissues, yuk, what a mess to sort after eh! Ellie :D

I usually check my pocket, too. But sometimes, I think I checked it but I didn't do it. I usually forget money in the pocket. Once I forget my USB. Now that USB couldn't use.

Well i have also put my phone through the wash and unlucky for me it didnt work again. Then i got another one and it broke 2 months later from water damage also.

Most intresting I don't know there has been some odd things in my washer, I have kids too lol. Most anoying!?!? GUM! A whole pack of gum in a pocket, killed a whole load of laundry. I really could have hung that kid out to dry lol. (pun intended) Just remember your washing the cell phone wasn't your fault! It was his for not taking it out of his pocket. I have a rule. If its in your pocket come laundry time its MINE. I'v made a lot of allowances back that way!

lucky you, but me it happen to me once that the money of my hubby :(, im so afraid, maybe he will mad of me i try to put in the top of heather thanks god everything is fine:)

Hi there. I didnt exactly wash my cellphone, but one day a couple of years ago, I was out watching my husband surf, I was sitting on the rocks and my phone fell and dropped into a rock pool, I grabbed it out all soaked and started to dry it as much as I could with a towel and lay it in the sun, when we got home, I didnt try it out, I just put it straight into the hot water cylinder cupboard, I got it the next morning and the darn thing worked, I was stoked haha. So I believe your sons phone still worked. Have a great day girl...

I had a friend that done that when he texted me to tell me what he done i just had to laugh. I think the worst thing i washed was safety pins. My son had used them to pin up the rip in the bottom of his jeans. (Don't ask who knows how a teenagers mind works).Anyway i said to him before you put them in the wash remove the safety pins. Of course he didnt remove all of them and they ended up in the machine. Which ended up blocking it up so my partner was not too impressed as he had to unblock it. Luckily enough no harm was done.

Beat this one.. I usually eat gum and after I'm done with it, wrap it in a small piece of paper and throw it in the trash. But I had done the same one day and since no trash can was in the vicinity, I put that in my pocket. I also forgot to get that out of the pocket when it was going for laundry. Bingo. The water softened the paper and tore it and the gum rolled out of the paper and got stuck to the inners of the pocket and was stuck there for the rest of the trouser's life. Never had the opportunity to wash a cell phone, but many other things like money notes, letters, and bits of papers esp have found their way to a watery grave

i've done the phone..almost did it twice but realized it at last second..besides that havent washed any thing besides paper that i leave in my pockets or my wallet..bro has washed gum which is very annoying when out clothes and there's green all over it
