At the laundry facilities here at Jojoba RV Park (SKP), the washers have clear windows. Ruthi sat and watched the wash go round and round one way and then round and round the other way until something different/strange happened. One of our small small wash rags got caught between the rubber seal around the tub and the rubber seal around the door. She could see it slowly drawn into that space while the rest of the wash tumbled this way and that grabbing at the little towel but unsuccessfully pulling it back into the fold, so to speak. Little by little the towel got sucked away from everything else and surely looked like it was bound to disappear completely.
When the wash cycle completed there was just enough of the towel showing that Ruthi was able to grab it and pull it free. But, of course it wasn't clean having spent the entire time lounging against the glass of the door.
This must be what happens to all those lost socks. The machine does “eat” them and eventually they go to the drain clogging it and causing floods all over the laundry room never to be seen again. It doesn’t take much just the correct positioning of small wash items and continuous grabbing at the edge of the item until the rubber seals have devoured it all, never to be seen again.
