Daryl Dike is having some laundry issues

“Before I continue, yes, I know I’m an idiot”

Daryl Dike’s clothes have probably been smelling a bit strange since he arrived in England. On Friday he found out why and thankfully, he shared the answer with the entire internet.

The West Brom striker, currently sidelined with an injury, posted a video on his TikTok account that started with a frank admission: “Before I continue, yes, I know I’m an idiot!”

OK, intriguing. Go on!

It turns out that Dike “kind of thought that my washing machine was just crap” — that is, until he discovered the real reason his laundry experience in England hadn’t been going exactly as planned.

Dike recounts: “I come back home to my apartment and I look down at the bag I have … this is what I’ve been using! I have been washing my clothes with dishwasher soap since I’ve been here! I have lived in England for eight months! I’m an idiot! How do I even do that?”

Thankfully, West Brom’s social media admin quickly went to the store to purchase the correct detergent, with defender Taylor Gardner-Hickman completing the delivery to Dike in the dressing room.

“I’m not going to lie to you, I was actually on my way to go get some,” Dike responded.

And he wasn’t lying! Dike posted on Instagram shortly after that he had indeed found the correct product to ensure his clothes don’t smell like clean plates and silverware.

Dike’s next wash is going to smell absolutely incredible to him.
