How many rinses after bleach?

[indigo152]

Oh boy!! Now I have another reason for extra rinses. Not diaper related at all, either! I just opened my washer to find tiny white foam pieces all over the full load of kids' clothes. It turns out that the travel pillow I tossed in the wash had a hole in it
I had no idea how to handle it but to take the pillow out and turn the washer on for another rinse cycle.

Soooo....does anyone know how many rinse cycles it will take to get rid of all these foam things? Haha (Yes, I suppose I should try to pick them all out, and throw them away instead of sending them into the septic tank..)

...and to top things off my DD came down with a tummy bug today! Haha, I guess "Mondays" still happen to stay at home moms

Wow! What a sucky day! I hope it gets better for you

ETA: and yes, SAHMs can get a case of the Mondays.
