I left an unused teabag in a shirt pocket that I sent through the wash. Will that affect how the laundry comes out?

If the tea bag remains in the pocket, it is likely there will be some staining in that area, along with whatever clothing is up against that pocket after the wash load is finished if not removed promptly.

I doubt one tea bag will stain the whole load of laundry because there is a helluva lot more water in a washing machine basin than in a cup of tea, so that tea in the washer will be ultra diluted and I doubt it will effect the load.

I have tea stained fabric and it takes A LOT of tea bags to accomplish that task, with far less water.

If the shirt is a dark color, you won't notice. White stuff is shot.

Do not dry them go by shout or oxyclean and rewash. Some of ypur clotbing might be permanantly stained.

It might stain things.

You might want to remove it and give the load an additional rinse, to make sure all of the tea is well rinses out of everything. Hopefully, there isn't a staple in it.

it nnight, you'll just have to wait and see, unless you want to open up your washer and take it out

it will be brown. put the laundry in hot water with oxyclean powder

I doubt it.

OOOPS! It may stain them brown... if so, run it through the wash again without drying them.

It may be possible that the tea was too diluted to do any harm. Good luck.

I hope you like brown clothes.
