Experts will tell you to do your sheets in HOT water to kill any bed bugs or dust mites. Luv all the dryer tips. Definitely going to implement them!

1. Using too much laundry detergent 2. Don't use Dryer Sheets & Fabric Softner - Alt. Dryer Balls, Distilled White Vinegar 3. Washing Laundry on Hot (only for extremely soiled clothes) 4. Wash new clothes before washing 5. Letting a stain dry (soak it up) dishwasher 6. Rub stain vigorously 7. Sun is the natural bleaching agent 8. Overstuffing your washer (three quarters) 9. Not cleaning washing machine 10. Not sorting properly That's all I noted. 😅

Fabric softener+dryer sheets are the😈Lol! AND, using LESS detergent will change your life! I’d even recommend using 3/4 less than suggested. I also discovered using warm water, NOT cold (hot for towels etc) works way better because it helps activate the detergent so it can properly do it’s job. Most of the time I don’t have to use vinegar or dryer balls because appropriate amount+activation of the soap not only helps it clean better, but it rinses away instead of clinging to the fabric and holding the dirt hostage (making the clothes stiff). Don’t get me wrong though, I’m still a huge fan of vinegar (especially for fabric softener)! It’s an absolute essential for doing laundry. I’d also recommend keeping some oxygen bleach (not chlorine bleach) on hand. It’s great for certain stains or types of clothing, ie: Athletic wear(stretchy fabric /spandex). This fabric hates water and loves oil (body oil traps bacteria and sweat) so oxygen bleach coupled w/detergent works wonders. It’s also good for juice/wine stains. Now, if I have a ketchup, bbq/condiment stain,..that’s when I’d reach for the vinegar😅

I’ve heard that With vinegar in the washing machine, when you use it on top on soap it does not Get all the dirt out. I put the vinegar in the fabric softener compartment so it will get used after the soap.

Thanks Brittany. I’m happy to say I’m already doing most of these correctly. I also use the color catchers in every load (except towels). I’ve used vinegar in the rinse cycle for years and years. Just put it in the fabric softener dispenser. It does NOT leave a smell and it also helps get detergent residue off of your laundry. The sun also works fantastic on white cutting boards that have become discolored over the years by fruits and veggies. Just lay them outside on a towel or cloth and let the sun do it’s bleaching. It’s amazing. For badly stained ones, I leave them outside for a couple of days. 😊

How do you clean with the kids around and no help?

Back in the early 90’s when we were all wearing rayon clothes, my husband did a couple of loads of laundry. Now keep in mind, I have really long legs and my pants can’t be dried or they shrink and are too short and rayon cannot be dried at all. Fast forward to the end of his “help”, all my rayon sleeveless work blouses were shrunk to doll size (no exaggeration on how much they shrunk) and all my jeans were a good 2” to short for me. Mind you, I had DETAILED instructions on the wall over the washer and dryer on how to wash my clothes properly. It was difficult to get “tall” pants back in those days, so I was NOT happy.

My husband hates laundry, so nomatter what, he does NOT touch the dirty clothes, except to take them off himself. If I don't feel good, every one just has to deal with it. Only in an emergency they help with me helicoptering, over them to separate, then I give them the detergent and other for each load in a ziplock bagy, for each load premeasue.

definitely love this series- Abby Cox does a great video informing about the history of laundry as well as the importance of the disinfecting of ones laundry and the inefficiencies of just about every laundry machine.

“Have you seen my balls anywhere? I need my balls!” Your husband is the gift that keeps on giving 😂 and yes thank you for mentioning using less laundry detergent. Using too much can shorten the life of your washer. I use 2 tablespoons of detergent and they turn out so fresh and clean!

I'm such a laundry nerd. I don't do any of these mistakes. I hang dry most of my clothes too. 😂

In nursing school in 97 we were told never wash anything in hot water!! Hot water sets stains. I wash everything in cold water everything!!! I raised 4 girls and I can honestly say I can get about any stain out.I dry my towels sheets etc but I hardly dry anything of mine!! Jeans yes but not all the way. Never suppose to dry bras so I don’t dry any under clothes tank tops active wear most of these items dry so fast & colors stay true longer fabric looks better.. I have raised my kids now & they are raising theirs so I no longer have the laundry monster at my house!!! There are 2 of us & I do a half a load if I have one bc if I see whole loads I still get overwhelmed to this day!!! I’m so happy I don’t have all that massive laundry anymore!!! Good video Brittany!! As usual I always watch bc I don’t want to miss anything!! I send your videos to ppl all the time!! They love them!!

I separate everyone's clothes in the house. I do all my kids clothes separate. Saves me so much time from separating. I also do my husband's work clothes separate from his nice after work clothes. If I have a smaller load I just set the washer to speed wash which is half the washing time. I never mix towels and sheets with clothes. That grosses me out for some reason lol

Lots of good tips. Finding it hard to get on the vinegar train though. At least I don’t use softener on my towels load as the bathroom ones are of microfiber, just let the dryer make them fluffy and static.

Myself and my children all have very sensitive skin. My best cure for laundry is to do the extra rinse on everything. This helps get out the detergents and clears up the rashes.

The video this newly single man needed. And your husbands comic relief was a great addition. Thank you!

I also heard about this before to not use softener but I've learned that rayon fabrics are best washed on cold and even then if I don't use a little bit of softener specifically for rayon it will shrink and shrink over time. I've also heard that hair conditioner can be used on rayon it would have to be a very easy to dilute conditioner with no silicones in it. I did try once a baby conditioner on a 100% rayon pants it seem to work but you'd have to try for yourself.
