Came house to this at midnight.

Mop it up with socks and throw a sock in the machine for each load of laundry

Seems like the perfect time to use the clothes in your luggage to soak some of it up.

it took me a moment to realize the floor wasn't blue and what had actually happened...so I'm going back to bed.

Use towels put them in a bag and throw one in the wash with every load with extra rinse.

Look at the bright side. It's gonna smell great in there for a long time.

Do you have pets? Poltergeist?

Kitty litter works really well for cleaning up messes like this.

That really sucks. I worked in a store. It was one of the worst things to clean up. We used cat litter to soak up most of it. Water and a mop just makes it worse by turning it into a bigger slippery, sudsy mess.

Laundry detergent was one of the worst things to clean up when I worked retail. About as equally bad as oil. Floor stays slick for days no matter how well you cleaned it up. I feel for ya, OP.

Thank you for the laughs and sympathy everyone. I ended up scooping it up into a bucket with a dustpan and acrylic picture frame and then some towels I am going to discard. I don’t have murder mittens, I could possibly have a poltergeist but most likely it was human error in p...

_laughs in powder supremacy_ Also lids

So tired. Drag suitcase through hall. Stop at open door. Scream. Take picture. Go to bed. ... Call in sick. Blame the cat.

Ah, looks like the handiwork of cats.

Had this happen. Used rags/dish towels and zip lock bags. Soal up with the rags. The saturated (try not to oversaturate) rags go individually into zip lock bags. Used one rag per load. Mopped the floor and was good to go.

Been there. Except it was a big fryer filled with old oil. Fell onto the kitchen floor which was tile. Good luck.. 🫡

No one has mentioned the bra 🤭

You must own cats

Yeah I had this happen... sop up as much as you can with 3 or 4 different dirty clothes (i used bath towels), separate them into 4 separate loads of laundry. Don't add more detergent. Dry mop up as much as you can, then use just water to mop up. Repeat until the floor stops bu...

OP use a dust pan and squeegee, pour it in a pan. At least it's not carpet and this is a real WTS moment!

Yea, don't use water to clean it up... speaking from experience.

what did you have for dinner

Get a lag Tupperware and then use a dustpan and a plastic scraper.

Omg just looking at this makes me cringe… Sorry OP! Hope the clean up wasn’t too bad.

Kitty litter. Mop up the rest with towels.

On the upside... It's a clean mess

I did this with paint before. I used a hand broom and a dust pan and swept it up the best I could. Then used 1-2 towels for the rest. Worked better than expected

It’s a tomorrow problem for sure. It’s already been there for this long.

Just gonna close this door, thx

Not gonna lie, I would have just shut the door and avoided the room for the next week until it dried more, maybe longer. Detergent cleanup sucks.

Guess I’ll clean it tomorrow

That'll to teach you to use liquid detergent.

Yikes, the cats were busy!

Ooooh noes

The way I would just stand there and stare in anger and disbelief. Like what’s the most efficient way to even clean this type of mess up? 😭 I dropped a cap full of detergent the other day that that alone got everywhere and was a pain in the ass to clean. Meanwhile this….!...

Soak it up with socks - don’t overload them. Toss the socks into an empty kitty litter bucket or trashcan or whatever you have and you have invented your very own no-spill liquid laundry detergent. 🤓

Just add water

Tomorrow problems

Floor so clean

I have used pods since about 2010 when I got a high efficiency washer, but I always put the cap back on and tightened it when I was using liquid detergent.

Livin' after midnight, wipin' 'til the dawn.

Should keep your laundry detergent in a cabinet

I know this well, the old spin cycle off balance trick. Might have taken the bra off the door knob before taking the pic though.

Sucks, but not the end of the world.

it's the fucking worst.

lay down close to it and pretend it's royal blue blood


Oops…. Shop vac a must

Squeegee would work. But my suggestion is probably too late lol

Have you figured out what caused the detergent to flood the floor?

I don't even know how I would go about cleaning this up

Wait, should I be more sad that you arrived home at midnight?

You can actually scrape up like 89% of it with two dustbins if you don’t have two, it’ll take a little bit longer by a spatula but still doable and like everyone else says: whatever’s left on the floor you just mop up with clothes you’re gonna wash anyway.

Nooooooo

Let me guess: you, like my wife and daughter, think it is perfectly reasonable to store items on top of the dryer even though it is sloped
