You add vinegar to do what!?!

You add vinegar to do what!?!

Distilled white vinegar ( apple cider vinegar is for cooking with, guys…) has hundreds of uses. In fact they have written books about all of the uses. But for us, we keep it in the laundromat for a couple of specific reasons. If you need to get the smell of cigarette smoke out of your clothes, 1 cup of vinegar with your wash can help cut the smell. It also helps cut pet odors, if you have had a house fire, or if you have been near a camp fire. It will help cut the smell of heavy perfumes and/or colognes as well. It is an inexpensive means to cut smells if that is your laundry problem rather than stains.

We’ve come a long way…..and aren’t we glad?!

But, I don’t wanna iron…

Gather, load, haul,seperate, wash, dry, fold and then iron…we all want to save steps where we can. Some of the shirts and slacks we buy now a days are ” wrinkle free ” – but you still have to follow the instructions ( I know…I know…who wants to do that?!? ) If you take each item out of the dryer promptly, and then hang it up – it is relatively wrinkle free. The trick is to take it out of the dryer while it is still slightly damp, keep the dryer moving for the other items. When the dryer stops and the items sit, that is when the wrinkling begins.
