My kids get dirty! Lately, I feel like I am constantly doing laundry. When one load finishes, the basket miraculously fills again, it empties, and then it starts again and again…. Yes…. The laundry life like so many of you would experience.
And there is nothing worse then having done all that laundry to then realise that your clothes are still dirty, stains are still there, and well basically you have to wash pieces of clothing again. Nothing worse! To find the right laundry detergent is a hard one! Because I don’t want those detergents that have all the nasties and irritate my skin and my children’s skin, and leaves my clothes still dirty.
Welcome to Cold Power! I think in just a few washes my life has changed! My clothes appear cleaner! And I am now talking about laundry, something I think I swore I would never talk about because really…. I hate laundry! And the extra goodie about Cold Power Sensitive Touch is that it is hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested and is free from perfumes to ensure sensitive skin remains free from irritation. Good for me! Good for my family!
What I have learnt about laundry and how to do (try to) less of it, is to take a few shortcuts. Yes, shortcuts! In all honesty, I can’t stand separating my whites and blacks! I am often left with half a load of blacks sitting in the basket which will often stay there because I can never be bothered to do that extra load. So I mix them! Shame on me, I know, but if I know that certain dark clothes won’t run, I mix them!
Those red pants I know run every time (I will never buy that brand again for this simple reason) are washed on their own ! I hate doing that!
So some extra laundry time saving tips:
1. Use laundry bags for those more special items! Hand wash be gone!
2. That gentle cycle … It may take about 2 hours to wash, but gentle it is!
3. To avoid intense creases and ironing, hang your clothes IMMEDIATELY once the cycle is finished! Makes the world of difference.
4. To totally wipe out ironing… Here is my fabulous tip: 1. Buy drying balls from your local hardware or laundry store. 2. Put those shirts into the dry immediately after washing. 3. Turn on your dryer for 5 minutes, no more. 4. Hang immediately! Creases… GONE! ironing…. FINISHED!
So, there you have it, my little laundry tips. And pick the best detergent and you are set! A little shine to your clothes!
