A Most Excellent Mess

Someday I'm sure I will laugh about this - so halfway through the clean up I decided to document it because it was just SO unbelievable. Click on the photos for a good close up Plus I'm keeping with my laundry theme..................
My lovely washer that tends to get a little exuberant when spinning clothes (it's not quite level due to a retarded floor underneath) and it occasionally throws the soap off the top.




This time it just so happened that the bottle was full and it landed in such a way that it knocked the lid off and flooded the entire floor.
I took approximately 48 hours to come up with a plan to clean it up without pulling a Brady Bunch Episode of smothering bubbles. I scraped with a spatula, wiped with dry paper towels and mopped with Lysol wipes - able to avoid attack of the bubbles. My floor will have a sticky layer until about 2058. My plan of action is for all of you just in case this ever happens to you - then I'll laugh.
