I've just realised that I've washed a machine full off clothes in fabric conditioner, instead of detergent. Funnily enough, the clothes don't seem any "softer and fresher" than usual, nor any less clean than usual. In both cases, counter to what you would expect. This makes me wonder whether we may possibly be being duped by the manufacturers of these products.

I bet you went and hung them out to dry without the intention of putting them back in on a detergent wash.

I washed the clothes yesterday but didn't realise my mistake until this morning when I put a few more things in the machine and saw the conditioner bottle was where the detergent should be. If it hadn't been for that I wouldn't even be aware of the "rookie mistake". So, no, Deedee, the clothes are dry now and I have no intention of wetting them again until next week. Luckily, most of the items are a dark colour so my slovenliness should go unnoticed.

Can happen to anyone

Particularly if that anyone happens to be a scatterbrain. The day will come when my spaghetti carbonara goes through a coloureds cycle and my pants get microwaved, there's nothing surer.

I have a separate compartment for my fabric conditioner so if I was to forget anything it would be the fabric conditioner if that happened I would just put it on rinse then toss in my fabric conditioner.

My washing powder smell's yummy on it's own anyway.
