This is going to be completely outside of my "box" as far as blogs go. It's not about my kids for once! I am a housewife, along with being a mother, and I can say I have learned a few things. A few. Not many, because I don't want to learn, but a few! :)
For those of you that have the front-load washers, this is for you. Some people have asked how to keep it from smelling terrible, and I might have the solution for you. You are welcome to test it out yourself.
First and foremost, do NOT use liquid fabric softener in these things. That's the worst thing you can do, in my opinion. Vinegar in the fabric softener slot works if you are looking for a more "natural" way to soften clothes, or just use dryer sheets. But throw the liquid stuff away. Now.
If you have been using liquid softener, or if it just stinks right now, run a HOT cycle of bleach and vinegar through your washer (no clothes) and then use antibacterial wipes along the rim and inside to get rid of some of the gunk that has accumulated.
If you only do laundry one day a week, like I do (Yes, I do it ALL in one day. It takes all day, but whatever, it works) then make sure your last load is the whites with bleach and hot water.
And lastly, keep your washer door open to dry out a little after your load is done. That can help too.
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
