Laundry Laundry Laundry. BAD x 3!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I spend way to much time and my valuable resources with laundry on my mind.
A basket of soiled towels pings my need for cleanliness.

I guess you can call that almost an obsession. Kids don’t do this, YMMV. It’s a trying way to live.

We, not kidding at all, use about 20 towels a day. Add clothing for 2 boys, and 5 adults. Any extras. When beds are changed it’s absolutely an all day job.

The price of detergent, bleach, dryer sheets or any specialty cleaners is a significant spenditure every month.

It’s ridiculous.

Good thing I like clean laundry. It makes my heart happy to put clean towels on the shelf.
Clean sheets are the best. Slight lavender scent and I float away to dream land.

And, Bear the Siamese terror is never so happy as on laundry day. So it’s a blessing to have something to put in a dryer. He loves laying on top of it. He’s almost a normal cat like that. His sister the not so meek and mild Meeko. Does what he tells her to do.

I’m having mixed feelings today, this laundry day. Can’t do anything but supervise today.
I’m on injured reserve at the moment.
The Li’l-wrekker isn’t happy, but she’s learning a valuable lesson. I think: laundry is a blessing.

Wow - 20 towels a day! We usually use our bath towels for 3 days.

And I agree with clean sheets. One of life’s little pleasures is getting into a bed with fresh sheets. Even better if they’ve been dried outside. I change mine every week. We both shower at night so our sheets stay pretty clean.

If you live in an area with high humidididity, or even have a damp bathroom because Beck’s family and even some of the neighbors are enjoying showers, the “used” bath towel doesn’t dry out completely.

Drying off with a stinky towel can ruin your whole day.

I have taught my entire family to take their “used” bath towels and dump them in front of the washer.

This also eliminates (hopefully) the moldering pile of towels fermenting on the floor of a teen’s bedroom.

I understand that. In the summer it gets pretty humid here too. We usually hang our used towels outside over a patio chair for the day. And I agree 1000% - using a stinky towel is gross!
