The washer moves water up from the center and down the outside. That’s how it agitates the clothes to clean them.
You’re supposed to load items into the washer in a circle around the outside. Most things don’t matter, but something like a blanket can get stuck like this and won’t be cleaned as well.
You’re supposed to lay it in like a long snake in a circle around the outside, but I have done that and sometimes it still ends up like this :-(
Most times when I wash+dry a fitted sheet with other items, the sheet swallows everything else and I get a very dry sheet with a wad of wet clothes in the middle.
Leave it in the dryer like that for a week or two.
New life forms will emerge.
It will ferment, for sure
Laundry wine!
For a second I thought this was a cup full of wet coffee grounds.
When even the washer wants to look pretty! 😆
