Re: poll about laundry - use this one

  • 1. I usually do 2 loads and DH usually does 1 load.

    2. Tide with Bleach Alternative (general) and Forever New (delicates)

    3/4. DH likes to use fabric softener (Downy) and dryer sheets (Bounce), but I don't, which is why he does some laundry himself.

    5. Soak for 1/2 hour with some liquid Tide on the spot, then wash with OxyClean added to the wash.
