I've had this worry since I moved into my house. I put dirty washing in the machine and my girlfriend put it on the clothes dyer so I binned the dryer and got a new one.
I started rewashing clothes if I worried they never washed. Even if the button was on id reload another wash.
Now I got over that I don't rewash I worry my clothes are not clean. I have sat around in bed worrying all day I tried to challenge the thoughts my evidence is:
*The switch was on for the washing machine
*All clothes were wet and smelt fresh
*I always put the washing on right away so it doesn't get confused as dirty washing
Now I was going to put the wash out right away but delayed it so that's when my anxiety kicked in. I've had these worries before and it does ease but I fear things being contaminated.
Sadly challenging my thoughts is not working this time anybody got any advice? :blush:

My second worry is the iron dropped on the floor. I am worried it's contaminated too as dirty towels have lay there before.
The dirty towels worry comes from them being dirty or quite wet but also in the bathroom if any small pieces of toilet paper reach them after people use the toilet so basically if the towels are near stuff I worry..
Should I worry? Maybe toilet germs are on them?
