#laundry machine

So, I'm going to go trough several concepts that are necessary to understand what happened to me this morning.

The first harmless concept: Do you ever impatiently take off your pants and your socks just slide off together with them, and get stuck in your pant leg? And then you just throw both of them into the laundry pile because it doesn't matter anyway, you have better things to do than to pull out a sock from a pant leg. I do that a lot.

The second concept is something I wrote about few months earlier. It was about having rubber boots, which if mixed with a bad sock, can hurt my heel, and me finding myself in the forest, with my heel starting to chafe. But then I invented this cool technique which is called 'stuffing moss into your sock so it stops your book chafing against your feet'! And it worked wonderfully.

Third one isn't really that important, but it's about 'laundry' and 'seriously dirty laundry'. Laundry is the stuff I've been wearing to work, maybe it has some sweat on it but not much else, so I wash it separately from 'seriously dirty laundry', which is clothing that I wear to the forest, and to the garden. This clothing has dirt on it, it has smudges from grass and clay, I've been sitting directly in dirt while wearing it, and I've likely worn it 6-8 times before finally deciding to do the 'seriously dirty laundry'.

So yesterday, it was finally time to throw those muddy clothes into the washing machine, so I did. I usually do it at night because the electricity is cheaper, and then I put it up to dry in the morning, which was this morning. So this morning, I opened up the washing machine, and was met with... copious amount of moss and dirt. If you've paid attention you know exactly what happened. The sock filled with moss, that I just threw into the laundry without thinking, has ended up in the washing machine, still filled with moss and dirt, and I've been doing my laundry in the moss and soil.

Now the laundry is fine, except it's filled with pieces of moss, but I'm sure they'll come off once it all dries up. What I'm worried about is the washing machine! No matter how much I try to clean it and pull all the pieces of the moss out, there's still some stuck in the little holes. I think I might have gotten it clogged with moss and dirt :(. I'm worried that this will damage it, I don't know much about these machines but I assume having a bunch of moss stuck inside cannot be good news.

So, does anyone know what would be a good thing to do? Let it wash empty once, with some bleach or something? Put some vinegar in? Use the drain cleaner on it? I need to save this from my mossy mistake.
