"I was pregnant and had on my favorite blue shirt. My belly got in the way and I splashed bleach all over it. Too far along to buy another shirt so I wore it with white splotches all over it."
"I was wearing a brand new shirt ... a beautiful wine color ... when I decided to throw a load of whites into the wash. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, some of the bleach splashed up when I poured it into the washer because later that day, I noticed white spots all over my beautiful new shirt! I was heartbroken!"
"A few weeks ago as I was adding bleach to the detergent compartment on my front-loading washing machine, trying hard to be careful not to spill any. All of a sudden, I felt something ticklish touch the back of my leg. Startled, I missed the compartment I was pouring bleach into and splashed bleach onto the pile of laundry that was lying on the floor below; ruining my favorite black pants."
"A very long time ago, I used bleach to get stains out of my infant son's clothing. The cap wasn't secured properly and the bottle tipped over on the clothing I was wearing plus the laundry I was about to do. I've learned a lot since that time and would never use regular bleach on anything again. I now use safe products on my laundry and love Spray 'N Wash to get stains out."
"As I was doing a white load of laundry and pouring the bleach in, I failed to notice that some of the bleach had splashed onto the rim of the washer and leaned against the machine. My favorite deep purple shirt ended up with white splotches across the front and was ruined."
"I can't tell you how many things I have ruined over the years because I spilled bleach and something came into contact with it. The last thing was a really nice pair of black slacks that I dragged one leg of through a place where I didn't know I had spilled some bleach."
"When I was younger, my boyfriend remarked that my clothes always looked and smelled fresh. About a week later, he asked me to wash his clothes. He hadn't separated them, and I had them spread out on the floor, and inadvertently overturned the bleach, and ruined all of his clothes. I was so embarrassed and I wouldn't do anyone else’s laundry for years."
"Ahh! A gallon of bleach fell off the top of our washing machine during the spin cycle. The cap broke and splashed bleach on all my dresses and nice slacks for work that were sorted and waiting to go into the washer. I still haven't replaced all of my favorite clothes. It was a very expensive lesson! "
"Bleach always knows when I am wearing something dark and no matter how carefully I pour a little of it out, it always finds its way to my shirt or pants leaving little white spots."
"Actually, it was my older daughter who had the bleach accident – she was washing whites, and pouring the bleach into the measuring cup. The bleach jug slipped and splashed bleach all over my towels that were in a pile on the floor. It was a disaster – the towels were mottled with bleach stains."
"After I was up all night with the baby I was doing a load of my daughter's red and pink clothes after doing a load of my whites. I had my bottle of bleach next to my other laundry detergent when I thought I was reaching for the detergent to pour in the washer I accidentally grabbed the bleach and that was the end of those pretty clothes!"
"Being a guy and being the only one that does laundry in my home for three kids and a wife, I found out real fast what to use and what not to use. One day some time back I used bleach with a load of new school clothes that as you might have guest was COLORS not WHITES. Ouch. Wife and kids were not happy. So after that I learned real fast what to use and what not to use, I now use Spray n Wash."
"I had washed a load of white clothes first and did not notice that I had spilled a little bleach on the edge of the washer. When I slid the dark clothes across the edge of the washer when I was loading them, a number of my dark clothes got spots of bleach on them, so I ended up with white spots on several of my dark clothes and had to throw them away."
