Here is a nice stack of different homemade laundry detergent recipes I’ve collected over the years. Do they work? Yes, I’ve had good luck with them. At the time I was using homemade detergent, we had a relative who was in trade school living with us. Every day he was mechanic grease from head to toe–the clothes cleaned up nice! Making your own laundry detergent is a discipline and it’s no

From the files of, "I knew I wasn't crazy".When my mom used to drop us off at Stinson's Day Nursery, I always knew when we were getting close. I'd see the gigantic Mechanic's Laundry Building, we'd turn left - and boom - we were at nursery school.SO - the building looks to be in pretty good shape. You see that flag pole? They used to have a big ole American Flag flying from the top. It caught some

All three of my children started washing their own clothes at relatively young ages. The youngest, Mandy, was only three-years-old when she first began this chore. But it wasn’t a chore to her. She was getting to do the very same thing her older siblings were doing, and, boy, was she excited! Since it was a top-loading washing machine, I had to pick her up and hold her so that she could drop her

Everything at our house has been off-kilter this week. Some of us have been grieving my father-in-law's death, some of us have been cooking. Some of us have not been in the mood to cook.

We've made a lot of phone calls to o

The process of writing a resume can be very tedious. There are often so many jobs and responsibilities to include that many people find themselves wanting to create the simplest one possible just to avoid the grunt work. But while creating a resume that resembles a laundry list of previous jobs and duties can be tempting, it is strongly discouraged. This is because it only offers prospective emplo

I think we need to buy a new clothes dryer. The electronic panel on ours goes out about every 10 minutes when it's drying.

That said, laundry has been piling up while we try to figure out what to do. I think Jack's

Laundry day usually entails having to do three loads of laundry (all of my undergarments and pants, most of my shirts). It means spending $1.00 on each washer and $1.00 on each dryer. It means carting dirty clothes to the laundry machines and hauling back clean ones. It means sorting, folding, and hanging up the clothes.It also means waiting as time-inept people leave clothes in the washers and dr

Laundry detergents and fabric softeners sound gentle, safe, even comforting. But in spite of their clean-and-natural names, laundry products actually saturate your clothes in a wash of harsh, irritating, and possibly toxic chemicals. Normal detergents dump millions of tons of chemicals into waterways of the world yearly, polluting our precious water resources. More: continued here [...]

Functional and Fashionable Laundry Room CabinetsThe décor of laundry room is often overlooked because of the fact that it is not often seen by anyone except the family members. The main purpose behind the designing of laundry rooms is to act as a storage solution for dryer, ironing board and washer.

I originally got this idea from an awesome article from another of my fave blogs, TIPNUT. Anyway, TIPNUT has 10 recipes for home made laundry soap.-homemade-laundry-soap-detergent-recipes/Being on this frugal quest, I thought it only my duty to test it out and report my findings. I do not have any pics, but I am going to make some ultra-sensitive stuff soon for the baby clothes and will do a how too on it in the next couple weeks.In the meantime, I took a pot of boiling water (maybe 2 quarts or so) and added to it one bar of shredded soap (I used a bar of irish spring since we had a bunch from a bulk pack sitting here). Wait on the soap to disolve into the boiling water, minding that it doesn't boil and foam... I can't imagine the mess that could make. Once that was mixed up I dumped it in

Declare "Laundry Bankruptcy" to Get Clothes Under Control [Getting Real] Having a washer and dryer in your home doesn't always translate to having an organized system for cleaning and storing clothes. When the piles start climbing out of their baskets, the Unclutterer blog recommends making a visit to your local laundromat—the one you probably wrote off as an artifact of the past. By doing all your laundry in one shot, and saving some serious time while you're at it:Go once to the laundromat, get all of your clothes washed, and then get started on your new laundry routine at home with a clean slate. To complete the laundry bankruptcy plan you can do your laundry yourself, or you can use the Fluff-N-Fold service that most laundromats offer.Whether the surcharge for Fluff-n-Fold i

Cartoon by Dave Walker. Find more cartoons you can freely re-use on your blog at We Blog Cartoons.Since I get married, I do my laundry by myself. But now that I'm pregnant, I get tired easily and have no more strength to do laundry after work.I do hide all my clothes on a cabinet so my mother-in-law won't see it. If she sees it, then she'll get rid of it by washing them all. And I don't want her to wash my clothes. I'm kind of shy to let her wash them. I know she can also get tired of cooking, washing clothes, cleaning the house...So I end up with a pile of unwashed clothes. It looks like a small hill inside my cabinet :) If I have time and the strength to wash them, I wash them part by part.

We ran out of Dreft pre-treater for the laundry. With the little ones allergies, I did not want to use something else, so instead of paying x.xx dollars for another dreft spray bottle, I noticed the ingredients in the bulk Sam's Club jug and the spray bottle were the same, maybe formulated differently, but read on...So I took the old empty spray bottle, poured one cap full of dreft soap from the huge jug into the bottle, then slowly filled it with warm water and gently shook/rolled it around until it was decently mixed. I shake before every use to make sure its still mixed. I gave it the ultimate test tonight... the boy has been sick and has had several "blow-outs" in his outfits from the daycare. We had about 5 days of such outfits in baggies in the laundry room. I sprayed the poopie

British actress Tricia Walsh-Smith takes the newest step in airing one's dirty laundry, a long winded kooky diatribe bent on exposing her hubby, Phillip Smith, President of the Shubert Organization, and their marriage woes.The internet and sites such as Youtube have become a global "town square". Mrs. Smith used Youtube as a venue to publicly air her gripes about her hubby or did she do it in order to publicly embarrass and humiliate him?Whatever her motive, in the end, the only fool is Mrs. Smith. Most of us do not want to be privy to the inner workings of other people's marriages. It's like being stuck on a bar stool next to a stranger who reveals details about their mate, details which should remain private, details, which if the other person knew where being bandied about in public, wo

  LG Electronics has just rolled out a new home appliance, notably the SteamWasher with Allergiene cycle, touting it to be the first washing machine that has been given certification for being asthma & allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).

Sounds pretty nifty to me, but is it really that effective as claimed?

Over the last several weeks, there has been a number of stories about gift card fraud, including this one from Missouri and this story from New Jersey. These stories have one thing in common: Stolen credit cards being used to buy gift cards, which are sometimes resold online for cash (a form of money laundry). In some cases, like the Missouri story above, the credit cards are stolen from another state and used to buy merchandise, which are then shipped to the home state of the perpertrators. This is all done to make tracing the transactions more difficult for law enforcement.

For the many of us entering the week of spring break, congratulations on making it through the first half of the semester. One of the great perks about going home (if you're not going to Cancun only to be seen later on MTV flashing the camera) is having your mom do your laundry. For a week you can get that authentic smell and fold that you can't quite accomplish since you've been on your own at college.As you can imagine traditional laundry detergents are not so eco-friendly no matter how fresh and clean they make you feel.

Update: March 7, 2008 @ 2:08pmNow that's fast. Last night I got home and the building across the road is completely leveled. That's not bad for around two days of work.The lot will probably be completely clear by the time I get home tonight._______________________________The folks across from my apartment are basically doing what a lot of building owners are doing. They're ripping down the old brick structure and rebuilding it. I noticed this trend a few months ago when fliers were being left on all the little villas in my neighborhood. Now in Korea a villa isn't a plush estate like the ones you'll find the south of France. Instead they're two story apartments usually with a basement unit too. Here is a shot of the old and new side-by-side:As I said, this is happening all over my n
