A Cuban living in the United States has become an internet sensation with a hilarious video on TikTok, where she shows what happens when you overload a washing machine with detergent, assuming it won't produce as much foam as products used on the island. The video was shared by Leidy Laura Díaz Camacho (@leidylauradiazcam), showcasing a woman in utter shock at the foam overflowing from her washing machine.
Upon opening the appliance, the foam was almost spilling out! The comments from users came flooding in, with many sharing similar experiences. One user noted, "This has happened to all of us, hahaha," while another said, "I've had to wash three times to get rid of the foam." Another comment mentioned, "The same thing happened to me with the dishwasher; I used dish soap, and it overflowed."
One fortunate user commented, "Lucky it was just foam and not a fire. We laugh, but these things happen to us." Another humorous comment added, "She saw the amount and thought no need to save here."

Common Issues with Overloading Detergent
Many people can relate to the mishap of using too much detergent in their washing machines. Below are some questions and answers regarding this common household issue.
Why does too much detergent cause excessive foam?
Overloading the washing machine with detergent creates excessive foam because the machine cannot effectively rinse it out, leading to a build-up of soap suds.
How can I avoid using too much detergent?
Always follow the detergent manufacturer's recommended dosage and consider using high-efficiency (HE) detergents specifically designed for modern washing machines.
What should I do if my washing machine overflows with foam?
If your washing machine overflows with foam, stop the machine immediately and run an extra rinse cycle to help clear out the excess soap.
