<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I was told to wash a rug today that had a rubber backing on it and was extremely gross. I asked if it needed to be washed with the hose outside but was instead told that it could be thrown directly in the washing machine. I figured that if it could be put in the washing machine I could wash it on sanitize and it would be EXTRA clean. I was so wrong. 

The sanitize setting on my washer uses super hot water so it peeled the rubber backing right off the rug. I didn't peel it off in big sections but instead, in tiny pieces. This naturally plugged the drain. My washer was no longer draining water. 

I had to open the filter where there is a spot for emergency draining and since I had no idea what was going to happen I managed to cover my entire laundry room in water.
<bot>: Don't put rugs with rubber in washing machines, you will spend more time fixing your mistake then you would by washing it by hand.
