Arghh!!! I just need to VENT!
Washed a small load of laundry to pack stuff for this weekend and included a RED silk baby blanket from my MIL (from China). It's the 3rd silk blanket we've gotten and the other 2 washed fine, so I figured this one would be too. Opened the laundry and HALF of the load is splotchy HOT PINK!
Here's where I SOB: It bled all over our Brand.New.A&A DREAM BLANKET. *sob* I only opened it because I wanted K to have a warmer blanket for the mountains this weekend. It bled on another one of her A&A Swaddle blankets, a bunch of her onesies, and one of my white nursing tanks, among other stuff I don't care as much about. In fact, it even bled on itself and the trim was all ruined! What a piece of cr_p!
I'm usually SO careful with laundry too! Washed it on Cold & Delicate, like I do all baby's stuff. I've used a whole Oxi Clean stick on the two A&A blankets and washing on super-stained cycle. Ah! I'm going to be so sad if the dream blanket is stained. Anyone ever BLEACHED their A&A blankets? IDK, the backside is grey. #firstworldproblemsbutimstillsad
Lesson Learned: Trust nothing family brings back from China! Argh!
