Laundry nerd here! I read any article I come across about doing laundry! Over the years, the "laundry pearls" I learned are--NOT to use fabric softener on towels and use half the amount of detergent you normally would. Fabric softener, over time, builds up on the towel causing them to become less absorbent. By using HALF the amount of detergent I had been using, I am no longer having to double rinse them. The last big thing for me was learning I was using too much detergent for large loads of any type. Cutting back to the "2" mark on the measuring lid of my liquid detergent was all that is really needed and, again, saves me from double rinsing (I have a front loader and if I see soap suds in the rubber gasket when I open the door, I do another rinse). Yes, I am definitely a laundry nerd!

There's a guy on youtube that repairs washers. He says fabric softeners ruin your washing machine because it gets trapped in the outer tub. Builds up , then people buy a new one He goes in and cleans it out, and it runs fine. He also recommends vinegar for a fabric softener.

A tip i learned over the years is to put sets of sheets into one of the pillow cases. This way, you have a full set and dont have to go through the stacks to find all the pieces. Great video.

I used to do housekeeping in a hotel. The laundry lady would fold the pillow case and fitted sheet and put them in the folded flat sheet like a book. It kept the sets together.

Me, me 🙋‍♀️ I’m a laundry nerd!! So much so that I wish I lived in Utah with you 😂 I’d love to volunteer to do laundry for you at these cleanings. Laundry is my all time favorite house chore. My family thinks I’m nuts but there’s just something about it - sorting into piles, adding detergent, getting warm nice smelling clothes out & folding the chaos in order 🤪 it just makes my heart happy!

I have an idea. You should go hang out at your local laundromat and just tell people you volunteer to fold their clothes for free. They can take out their underwear first and you can fold the rest. Lol! 😂

I'm right there with you on folding laundry! I fold my friend's laundry for her. She says not to, but it is relaxing to do and to watch. You mentioned Mac again...the first part of one of his videos scared me off, because of a couple of "odd" jokes he made. I decided to give him another look, and he cracked me up immediately. Obviously, I picked the wrong video to see the first time as my intro to him. He is hysterical AND has such a big heart (like you) to do what he and his family do for people.
