Overflowing suds from the washing machine looks funny on TV but it isn't much fun when it happens to you in the laundry. With the popularity of the new HE or high efficiency front-loading washers, suds control is a priority. If you mistakenly use regular laundry detergent rather than HE detergent, you'll see those suds begin to flow.
If it happens, turn off the washer and grab your box of baking soda. Sprinkle directly on the suds to quickly break them down. The baking soda will absorb some of the moisture and clean-up will be easier.
