I just went to switch my laundry over and found that I'd washed my DVR remote along with my blankets!  I took the batteries out and am leaving the cover off so it can dry out.  I hope it's not ruined.

oh no! That's not good...


Sounds like something I'd do.

LOL!  Definitely something I would do.

Fortunately, the 3rd party remotes are wonderful.

Yikes...you have got to be the first person that I've heard about washing the remote

 

[Buttercup]

Hehe ... leave it to me to be a pioneer!

 

[durphy]

That'll teach you to do laundry.

Buttercup you aren't alone.  I had to take mine back to the cable company.  Luckly they did not ask what was wrong and just replaced it.

 

[Buttercup]

Whew, glad I'm not alone!

I hope this one will work once it's dried out, otherwise I'll have to order a new one from DirecTv and lord knows how long that will take to get here.

*** edited to add:  Amazingly enough I just put new batteries in the remote and it works like a charm!  I'm amazed.

My nephew washed his cell phone once.  It didn't work after, so you are LUCKY!!!

I accidentally washed a pen last week.  Wouldn't you know - not a spot of ink on anything in the entire load - except my BRAND NEW jeans!  Ugh!

Great news about the remote. 

 

[Buttercup]

Haha, my Kindle isn't hiding in fear, she always gets put in my nightstand drawer, the remote however sleeps with me most often.  Wonder if the fact that I have a front loading machine had anything to do with the remotes survival?  It wouldn't have been sitting in a tub full of water which has to have been a good thing.
