Budget Laundry Routine!

by Filed Under: Cleaning, Money Saving, Organization

In this video I share my budget and natural laundry routine with you!  Plus I show you how we organize our laundry room and make sure to get all the of the laundry done perfectly.  Or just done.  Or mostly done most of the time 😉  Ha!  Enjoy 🙂

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

**Crystal Wash Detergent Free Laundry Balls (20% off)
I’ve been using these for 1.5 years.  Here’s tips to maximize their effectiveness that I have found when working with them (lots of you saw my old video and asked for an update!)
– Wash with hot water when possible
– Do not overfill load (this causes the balls not to have proper agitation of clothes)
– Just like any load, spot treat major stains first using a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste)
– Let dry in the sun for the day once every 30 days
– Great on musty towels!

Greenshield Organic Laundry Detergent
We use this on sheets and comforters.  The Costco bottle is the most economical and lasts a long time.

**Dryer Balls
We LOVE these.  You can also use tennis balls. We don’t because it is loud and the kids’ rooms are right next to the laundry room.

**Laundry Drying Rack

Organize your guest room!

by Filed Under: Holiday, Organization

With Christmas coming this week, I wanted to share my favorite tips for preparing a guest room on a budget.  These are quick tips (all take minutes or seconds to prepare) with big impact.  Enjoy time with your family!

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
Mattress Topper (very good deal right now!)
Luggage rack
Our new headboard

RECIPE FOR MUSTY TOWELS:
Sprinkle 1/3 cup of baking soda into drum/on towels
Add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar to fabric softener well (or during the rinse cycle if an older machine)
Wash on hot
The vinegar acts as a softener and the baking soda neutralizes odors.  It seems counterproductive, but many times towels smell because of soap build up in them.  You will LOVE how neutral they smell after this treatment.  Add essential oil to the load if you wish.
