Abstract: An attachment for an appliance such as a washing machine that is connected to a water or other fluid inlet source that surrounds the hose connections from the fluid source to the appliance in a manner that prevents any leakage from the connector hoses from escaping into the vicinity around the appliance and flooding that area. Any excess fluid is instead directed via a drainage hose into an appropriate drainage site. The hose protector device has sleeves that cover and surround each individual hose connected to the appliance. The sleeves are interconnected to each other by a bridging conduit positioned between the sleeves. A drainage hose is attached to one of the interconnecting means and the sleeves so that any fluid accumulating in the sleeves is transported out of the sleeves through the drainage hose and into the appropriate drainage site, such as a floor drain or standpipe.
