We will also share with you solutions and improvements.
Even if you sometimes make mistakes that make you want to hold your eyes, you can do your laundry in a good mood tomorrow. Let's all laugh and flush it away with the washing water.

[This is solved! ] I ended up washing the paper diapers too! What to do in such a case

There are families living with babies.
When you run disposable diapers in the washing machine, the polymer inside the diaper absorbs a large amount of water from the washing machine and swells up.
When the washing machine is running, the water rubs the clothes against each other and knocks them off in the drum.
As paper diapers undergo such treatment, The fibers tear, creating holes, and the countless polymers that absorb water and become jelly-like are released into the water stream of the washing tub. (crying)
I was so disappointed when I opened the lid of the washing machine, not knowing that something like that was going on inside the washing machine.
Now, pull yourself together.
If your laundry is covered in polymer from disposable diapers, just wash it twice! However, it requires a little ingenuity and care, so I'll show you the steps.

Spread newspaper on the floor before putting out all the laundry.

When you take out the laundry, the polymer on the laundry will fall off, so placing newspaper on the floor will make it easier to clean afterwards.

Shake the laundry on newspaper to remove the polymer.

Once the polymer dries, it becomes small, smooth particles , so there is no problem in just removing it roughly.
It also sticks to the back of your clothes, so don't forget to turn them inside out.

Remove polymers from inside the washing machine and drain pipes

A polymer that swells into a jelly-like form when it absorbs water.
If a large amount remains in the washing tub or drain pipe , it may cause a malfunction, so be sure to remove it thoroughly.
Also, discard the polymer inside the lint net.

Put the laundry in the washing machine and rinse with just water

No need to use detergent here.
If you are using a vertical washing machine, you can reduce the rate of re-deposition by removing the polymer floating in the washing tub.

Dry thoroughly outside

When the polymer dries, it becomes small, smooth particles, so it may fall off while drying.
If you are drying clothes indoors, it is best to spread newspapers on the floor.
Do not put it in the dryer as the polymer will dissolve.

Beat the laundry to remove the polymer when taking it in.

It will be easier to remove once it is completely dry, so please be careful when applying it.
How do you like it? It may seem a little complicated if you break it down into steps, but in short, all you have to do is tap the polymer off, rinse it with water again, and dry it thoroughly!
Even if you come across laundry covered in polymer, try to remain calm and keep in mind that it's okay, polymer will come off surprisingly easily once it dries.
