Blue rinse

Taking my laundry out of the washing machine, I was shocked to discover that my clothes had turned blue.

I can’t figure out the culprit — was it the tea towel or my denim shorts? Neither are new but they were the only blue items in the load. Also, I had done my washing at the relatively mild temperature of 40°C.

It’s a mystery. I guess I’ll try hand washing the denim to see if any more blue comes out.

Luckily, there was nothing critical in the wash, mainly t-shirts, socks and underclothes. Initially, I had put a new red cotton summer dress in the machine but after some thought, I took it out because I was worried it might turn everything red!

Nice save, eh. And maybe otherwise, my clothes would have all turned purple!
