Just like comedians say that babies can smell a clean shirt, I am sure that my pets know that I just washed a comforter or blanket. Since I only go once or twice a week to the laundry, I think that my cat knows that I just brought back a clean blanket and I am not going back for several days. There fore, he thinks that it is his duty to mess up the clean blanket that day that I put it back on the sofa!! Knowing full well that now I have to make the decision to wait for a couple of days or go back the next day….

Mmmm, the scented dryer sheets smell so good…often we even put a couple in the closet or drawer to take advantage of the nice, clean scented smell. But…you can use too many. Often, we open a dryer and find 6 or more sheets in a load. They have oils in them, just like fabric softener, which is what makes them so effective, but, that residue can also stay with the clothes. Regular use of 1 or 2 sheets in a load is the best way to go. Too much soap, too much softener or too many dryer sheets all can stay with the clothes and actually attract more dirt. Plus, it will help the budget to use less per load.

Here is a question – in the winter, do you feel like you wash more clothes, or less. On the one hand, we are all wearing extra layers of clothing to stay warm. On the other hand, several of those layers get washed several times before being washed, because they are on the outside. So, we can rewear clothes more times than in the summer. In the summer, one wearing and it is ready for the wash pile!! In fact, sometimes you wear more than one outfit in a day depending on your activity. So…winter..more or less?
