Laundry Nightmares

Eligible laundry nightmares include everything from tough stains such as pasta sauce or baby formula to stains that occur at the worst possible time like red wine on a wedding dress. Additionally, you can submit fabric care mishaps such as shrinking a favorite shirt or turning an entire load of whites pink, along with mistakes such as using too much detergent or choosing the wrong cycle.

Enter your laundry nightmares in one of four ways -- via the Institute of Fabric Science fan page, Twitter, email or YouTube.

To submit your laundry-mare on Twitter, you can tweet your 140-character nightmares to @WIFS to enter the contest. You can also submit a longer entry with images by e-mailing your story to WIFS @ peppercom.com.

To be eligible on Institute of Fabric Science Fan Page, you must visit the fan page and follow the instructions found under the Contest tab.

After September 16th, consumer scientists from the Institute of Fabric Science will shudder through the laundry nightmares and determine which one -- should they dare admit it -- would keep them up at night. In addition to awarding a new top-load high-efficiency washer and dryer, the Institutes' scientists will counsel the winner on how best to correct their laundry issue.

Grand Prize: Whirlpool brand top-load HE washer and dryer.

I posted a video to enter the Worst Laundry Nightmare Contest but I don't see it here.

@Laurie82323 We aren't sure why the video didn't show up as a reply to this, but we found your video. Thanks for putting it together!
