(this is becoming a fire hazard)I just washed a load of clothes -- a dark load -- and they are dirtier now than they were before I washed them. There was a piece of paper, apparently, or a few of them it looks like, in the pocket of a pair of pants and after taking a swim in the hot swishy washing machine those pieces of paper disintegrated into a million tiny little flecks of whitish gray fuzz. My black jeans look like they are hairy. Now I have to wash everything all over again, and of course, whatever it was I wrote on those pieces of paper is gone, forever, though I am sure I will be picking it off my clothes for weeks.
