I have a 2 year old that is potty training and sometimes, I get clothes back from the sitter that smell of urine. Then sometimes, I don’t know that there are clothes in the plastic bag or they fall out of her bag and get hidden for a few days until I start smelling them.
I […]
Hey everyone! How’s it going? Last weekend, we talked about cooking a meal for only $10. This weekend, I have laundry on the brain. Karen and I must be thinking alike. So the frugal challenge for Today is doing your laundry without getting backed up. Frugal is sometimes time related. I find that the main […]
About 90% of the energy used for washing clothes is for heating the water. Unless you are washing clothes that are really dirty, the cold water wash will usually work fine. I wash all of our colored clothes in cold water and wash the towels and whites in warm water. This seems to work fine […]
I was reading Tiffany and Erin’s “Nature Moms” and saw this cool new washing machine. At $1300 it’s a bit pricey, but it releases silver ions to disinfect clothing and kill 99.9% of bacteria. You can even wash delicates in this machine. Because of this machine’s ability to sanitize clothing, you only need to use cold water. If you’re […]
This post is for my mom. She wanted me to write one about the many uses of vinegar.
It definitely pays to have some vinegar around the house. I need to go to the store to stock up on vinegar and baking soda. I’ve had a mustard stain that won’t come out of my daughter’s clothes. I […]
Baking soda is an inexpensive cleaning tool. It is safe to use and gentle on your skin. This is important for me, since I have terrible eczema. Looks like I need to go purchase a large box of this amazing product. I am excited that there is a cleaner out there that won’t irritate my skin and cause pain. I […]
Are you contemplating how you are going to fund your child’s college education? Worried that they will want to be a doctor or lawyer and you will get the bill for all the 25 years of college? We are too. But that is another post altogether.
However recently I came across a great […]
Today I was visiting “The Porch Light”, a blog written Revka. As a stay-at-home mom of 3 children, Revka is also on the look out for thrifty ideas. This week she posted some recipes for helping us with our cleaning.
Basic Wood cleaner & polish
1/8 cup oil (either linseed, olive or vegetable)
1/8 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Laundry Detergent […]
By now you know I am weird with some things. I don’t like to do laundry but I love to iron. It’s a little like therapy with some great contemporary Christian music going. But when my husband needs a shirt in the morning and it needs ironing, I don’t have time to do it and […]
Anybody love to do tons of laundry? Well let me know and I will send you all of mine because I hate to do it. Have you ever sat down and figured out how much you spend on clothes a year? I’m sure your teenagers can tell you. Want to get […]
