Irons are not really dangerous if you know how to use them and if you are using the dryer sponge 🧽 you still have to get fabric softener for them so what do you do with the rest of it ? But that’s still a good idea 💡!
“Emergency Supplies - Zombies” 🤣 Love how she’s helping her kids to be independent and responsible for their own clothes! Good mom LOVE the fabric softener sponge idea!!!
I've been using the sponges since you posted this a few months ago and I love it.. I am using up out dryer sheets and will no longer be purchasing more! Thank you.. clothes smell great!
Haha! That intro was hilarious! - I love the color of her laundry room! It's so bright and welcoming! Laundry was once my favorite chore! We recently moved, and now our laundry room is the in basement and it feels like a dungeon. Perhaps some cheery paint and better lighting will do the trick! - thank you for this video!
@WholeSoul Mama- do you use it like that on a sponge and put it in the dryer?? That's a great idea! I knew white vinegar is great for laundry, but if it could be combined with the sponges and fabric softener that's great!
Great tips. Loved the anti wrinkle spray and sorting directly from the dryer tino separate bins for each person. I have a similar system for sorting laundry before washing. One bin for each type of laundry. For example dark clothes in one bin, light clothes in another and one for cotton to be washed at higher temperature. The bins are no larger than what fits into the washing machine, so when the bin is full it is time to wash. That way we’re always on top of the laundry situation. Been using this system for more than 25 years and it just works.
Love the hubs help on the intro! Lazy susan in the laundry room....yes! Why didn't I think of that! I needed that tip. I have them in other spaces in my 🏠.
You might want to check out the ingredients (of dryer sheets & fabric softener), nasty (even cancerous) stuff, I heard. 😱 Best to go natural with wool balls + a few drops of your favorite essential oil. 💧 Other “organizing enthusiasts” show this hack here on RU-vid too, one sells her own oils in tiny little bottles. I buy big oil bottles from Now brand thru Amazon. 😂
A lot of us don’t have nice shelves & laundry rooms like this. Need video on how to organize older houses that have small spaces & unique spaces. Love u & your channel!💕💕💕
Such a great intro!!! Loved it!!! Tell Charlie his voiceover made me die laughing!!! Such an awesome job!!! The tips in this, I LOVE!!! Love the fabric softener and wrinkle release ideas!!❤ Tell Jess I don't envy her laundry duty at all. Her laundry room, I do. Lol!!! I have a laundry closet.....like in my hallway...ugh!!
I have a laundry closet too. If you have any space on the sides (if your machines are stacked) then you could find some kind of system for that skinny section next to them where you could put baskets maybe? Or if it's in the hall and you have one of those cube storage devices, honestly you could fold the clothes and put them in the cubes with each cube clearly marked for each child or person in your house. :) Or any kind of hallway/entrance way type cabinet or sideboard. You can decorate the top to suit your style, then put some of those cube bins or even some of the Dollar Tree trays she's shown us, depending on the amount of space. Hope those ideas help!
Yes, beth. Dying, also!! The dramatic presentation and conveyance of frustration USING ONLY HER HANDS with the iron just killed me! I could not have done this better myself! And I've even done a little acting! I just love this family!
I love how the kids are responsible for putting their own clothes away. Laundry was my chore growing up (I love to do laundry) and I would place each person's items on their bed and it was their responsibility to put them away. I LOOVE Fels-Naptha!!! I love the smell of it, plus I use it in my DIY laundry soap. I use vinegar with lavender essential oil in the fabric softener dispenser in my washing machine. Great video!
The tiffany blue color on the wall, is soo cheerful. I like the sponge idea. I cut my sheets in half, because I don't like the buildup on clothes. Thank you for being so nice and cheerful.
I thought about it but wondered if the sponge deteriorate and leave little bits on my clothing. Also the idea of wringing out a sponge everytime you dry clothes means I'd always have to dry my hands every time. Currently, I reuse dryer sheets by putting a few drops of Downy on them while in a container. They're ready to use every time, laundry smells great, I haven't spent money on sponges and that one bottle of Downy lasts all year. I think I got that tip from a Cheapskate channel. Anyway, good luck to you guys who try out the sponge idea.
That intro was perfect! He's so good at it 😂 also I use dryer balls (no fabric softener anywhere in the laundry routine 🤷🏻♀️) and it cuts down on dryer time for sure!! Only comes out static-y if it was over dried. A quick spray from a water bottle fixes that. I do love the wrinkle release spray!!
I do this and we do so much laundry that the softener/water mix doesn't even last the week. We only have one sponge we use so we dont make too much solution in advance but it will run out within a few days with constant use
OMG! Did I mention that I truly love you! This video was amazing! I truly enjoyed it especially because I am going to implement those same ideas in my laundry room. Awesome video! ! ! Thanks for sharing!
This was one of the best videos that you have done. 😂 😂 you always add some little kind of blooper or maybe it’s the blonde hair 😂 😂 😂 I have always a loved your channel and no matter how many videos that I have seen of yours. I always seem to learn something from your channel.
Oh my goodness you Moms are incredible! How do you do it? I’m just a single woman and it’s all I can do to just care for myself. Seriously, you are amazing.
oh my gosh Kathryn!!!! I found some of your very first videos. Wow how you and your family have grown. The one I watched you had camera in hand while trying to make wall art with TP rolls. What a hoot. Your as sweet now as you were then just a bit more together. CONGRATULATIONS on (if my math is correct) over 10 years of do it on a dime. YOU ROCK!!!! I’m so Grateful I found you as o celebrate my third year with you. ❤️👏🏻👍🏼
Great video & tips. A lot of houses in the UK don’t have a laundry/utility room & have to have the washing machine in the kitchen. Often there is no room for a tumble dryer. I can’t stand washing around the house all day & put it away as soon as I get it out of the tumble dryer. Charlie did a brill voiceover.😀
You guys are such a beautiful couple. May God bless you with many more healthy and happy years together. So excited for you guys. The big MILLION is right around the corner. Tfs.
I just gotta say, seeing your organizing videos is like a sigh of relief and really motivates me to serve myself and my home by creating a system that works. Keep at it girl!!
Dryer sheets and fabric softener are not good for your machines or your clothes. Ask a repairman.The residue left behind builds up on clothes and in the machines shortening the life of both and the effectiveness of your machine. The more residue build up, the less effective a garment can be cleaned. Residue build up is also a great place for bacterial growth. One of the reasons you might have stiff clothes when drying without softeners or your clothes don’t smell fresh is that the detergent hasn’t been fully rinsed out. Don’t overload.More detergent doesn’t mean more cleaning. Longer wash time does. If you have hard water get a water softener or use washing soda to soften water so you get better cleaning and rinsing. Use White vinegar in place of the commercial softeners. It will eventually help remove all the built up residue and has some softening effects without residue. You will be surprised how much cleaner and softer your clothes are once the residues are gone. If you need fragrance on your clothes, put a few drops of essential oil on a cloth and throw in dryer with your clothes. Use dryer balls(tennis balls work). They also help “soften” and fluff clothes and decrease drying time.
Also Calgon makes a water softener for laundry.. been a life saver for me. It's liquid so I can use it in my front loader with my liquid detergents, powder does not work with my water where I currently live.
@@BronxFinest2481 Also I heard from a repairman that the vinegar will eventually destroy your rubber hoses causing them to become dry and brittle. Don't know if it's true or not. I do use fabric softener but occasionally run towels through with just vinegar. I can't stand stiff staticy clothes.
Charlie's voiceover was great. To do a great wrinkle release, I throw a handful of ice cubes in with whatever I'm trying to dewrinkle and let the dryer run till you can't hear the ice banging around any more. Works like a charm on everything including jeans.
Loved the intro. I need all the help I can get with laundry. I think in the last 20 years there was one day that I had no laundry. Thanks for the great tips.
The intro was fantastic!! If no one has mentioned it - you look gorgeous in that color! That Laundry room looks awesome! Thanks for the Fabric Softener tips - sponges & spray - I'll definitely try them!
My favorite laundry tip! Simply wet spot with water. Rub spot with Ivory bar soap! Yes... IVORY BAR SOAP! Rub and launder per directions. Works for OLD grease stains on t-shirts, mascara, make up and any grease or oil product on fabric. Even works on fabric furniture. Just rinse with water by blotting.
This had me chuckling and remembering my childhood times at grandparents while watching infomercials. 😂 So awesome! It was perfect! Hubby did a good job.
