Should you wash athletic wear SEPERATE from your other clothes? So if I have a load of darks (but no jeans) can I wash my dark workout clothes with those?

Dear dear Melissa, We love you and all your helpful tips but the only reason laundry doesn’t torment you anymore is because you don’t have children and your husband does his own. (Serious brownie points for that to your Mr.) The trouble with children is you can tell them and explain, but what they choose to do can be completely opposite. Usually, they think they are saving work by tossing EVERYTHING they own into the dirty laundry bin because of not wanting to hang it up or fold it. And this is even when they are in charge of the laundry. So to see the consequences of their own actions, each has to do their own laundry, instead of them all doing it together as a team. Stains are still a major issue since we use only natural cleaners especially on our clothes. We use only baking soda (not washing soda) instead of detergent. On the regular wash it’s excellent! Things are clean and FRESH! They smell of NOTHING! Loads are run on cold/cold as not to waste energy and to keep colors from running. We do not seperate colors, whites, darks etc. And we house ALL clothes in the laundry room so putting away is easy. We only have one laundry basket, and a big long table for folding right there. It never made sense to me to have hampers all over the house, and dressers and closets in each room and mixing up laundry and unmixing it and then running all over the house. It’s a HUGE time waster and nonsense. A “family closet” in the laundry room is awesome! Never going back!

In reply to Penny Schrum.

To iron shirt or blouse: start with collar, next the yoke, then both sleeves. (The reason being the rest of the garment tends to be easily wrinkled if you iron that first.) Next start with the right side and continue with the rest of the body. Nice hangers keep the garments nicer if they are hung. Don’t put too many in the space you have, let them hang freely and don’t press unwanted wrinkles in.

I love all your tips and videos. Not many people iron any more some of us still iron our trousers and shirts. What kind of tips do you have for ironing and sometimes lightly using spray starch to get out those wrinkles from linen and cotton.

I think you are amazing! Because we do it the same way!!!! 😀 Seriously, I’ve been making my own soap for the washer, using Dawn and various other stuff. It comes out beautifully and saves money too. My hubby still thinks I’m using Arm and Hammer for sensitive skin….Well, I am but not using fillers, advertising, or whatever else that is in there. Adding the Dawn to whites makes them “sparkle”!
