check your pockets before putting dirty clothes in laundry basket

I dont do that... and I keep forgetting and forgetting even if I do my laundry every work for year and years now. So I hear this weird souunds on the washing machine, i knew it's the coins... then i see pens from my son's pockets I guess... I have to remind myself again when I do laundry this week... hey thanks!

Hey, Yes I know what you mean, many times my mother has washed my pants and she forgot to check the pockets and countless times their have been tissues left in them, and after then pants have been washed, their are pieces of tissue everywhere. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

waaaaaaaaa.. me to i have that problem, i always forget to check my pockets if i leave something valuable on it. even cash, and my new helper in the house is not that honest compared to my previous helper. so my fault why i didnt check them before putting in the basket. whew

Hi realan! Before I used to dump clothes directly in our washing machine without checking the pockets. But when my husband begun to scold me as his wallet was inside one of his soiled jeans that I've washed I started to be very cautious before dumping clothes inside the tub. Everything was ruined, cards, pictures, money and the wallet itself as our washing machine is fully automatic, it will only stop when clothes are ready to be hanged. Good Day!

I make it a habit to check pockets before putting them in laundry basket. It's also to avoid cash getting wet. But I've noticed some of my family members don't do that. Instead they end up complaining that they lost their money. I guess, they learn from their mistakes.

of course i would. I always do that everytime i attempt to wash my dirty clothes since i have a bad experience when washing my dirty clothes along with my money there :(( So i agree with your policy to your family :)

I try to remember, nut I almost washed my cell phone yesterday. I am glad my girlfriend called, or else it would have been defunct. I will try to remember in the future!

i always forget to check pockets before i wash and of course, my family never empties out their pockets either. i have found money, but never very much. i have washed my daughters earrings and lip glosses before but nothing as dramatic as what you are talking about.

hello realan, I think it's already in my system to check the pockets of my pants and jackets before putting them in the laundry. But our children are not. Good thing it's only money that is/are in their pocket and not electronic gadgets.

I really really hate it when I leave a pen in one of my jean or shirt pocket. The ink from the pen gets all over the clothes I'm watching and it does not come off. I've ruined a lot of light colored shirts and pants because of this. After a few times I learned to check all the clothes before washing them.

i forget to check the pockets beofre putting dirty clothers in laundry basket sometimes and then those things on the pocket like money or tissues would be wetted after that washing. i do not have manner to put things on my pocket before but my girlfriend did. so i was affected by her manner and do this sometimes myself also.

LUCKY YOU!....I try checking the pockets before I throw my load in, but I can't say I always remember. Lucky for me, my boyfriend tells me he has checked his pockets, before he throws them into the laundry hamper and during wash week, CHA-CHING! I come up around $5 more! YaaaY LOL

This is what I am doing right now, because i noticed that i have been missing a few Bahts every time i give my laundry to the lady who wash my clothes in the apartment where i live. One time, when i was about to give my laundry, i checked my pants pocket if i have left something, only to find out that i have 2,000 Baht resting there. Since that event, i always check my pockets. It's good to check because from time to time, I always get a small amount that can add up over time. I put it in my piggy bank hehe

Oh I do this a lot, the worst is leaving tissues in the pockets. That really ruins your clothes or if you manage to get all the peices of sludgy tissue off, you are forever finding little bits of tissue all over the place.

Thats good advice since im usally forgetting to check my pants before putting it into the washing machine. Once I had my wallet in there luckly nothing bad happend to it even though Ive lost some good head phones because of leaving it in my pockets lol which now I try to check before putting it in the washing machine.

My mo is always angry about it when we don't check our pockets and ends up the loads of clothes are fully covered with kleenex pieces... and mom will need to fix it... she won't complain when she find money though I always forget to check my pockets and alwaysleave stuff int he pockets so I think I always lose cash! :-p

I also use applying this thing as my habit. When i was a child, i always leave some things in my pocket when i throw my dirty clothes to laundry basket. And my mother always found those things almost everyday when she washed my clothes. Usually my leave my money in my pocket. Once upon a time, when i was travelling to other city, i accidentally leaved my ATM card in my pocket. Fortunatelly the laundry staff is a honest girl, and then she gave me back my ATM card. This was my lesson to checking my pocket carefully everytime i want to throw my dirty clothes into laundry basket. If that day i lost the ATM card, i can't imagine how could my life at that time in other city without any money because that was my only one ATM card at that time. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.
