this isnt a tip I was wondering what sort of alcohol I can use in the laundry removing stain posted by yankeegirl? I have everything else so I was wondering if vodka would be ok?

I don't soak my delicate clothes anymore. I use laundry bags. For example in a dark load, I will turn t-shirts with print inside-out a laundry bags. I may use four laundry bags at a time. You will find the clothes are kept perfect and this saves heaps of time soaking.

for homemade shower fresh: ½ cup laundry detergent and ½ cup vinegar mixed with three cups water. Pour into a 32 oz spray bottle and mist on daily. No need to wipe down or rinse. or 1 Cup vinegar, 1 squirt of Dawn, 1/4 Cup Jet Dry Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle. Fill the rest of the way with water. Do it slowly. Cascade can be replaced with Jet Dry

To keep your dryer from using up too much energy (and to get your clothes to dry faser) clean your lint screen with a scrub brush and a dab of soap or vinegar. Rinse the screen and water should fall through. Even though you're taking off the lint buildup when you do laundry, tiny particles accumulate in the screen and prevent airflow thus increasing the time your clothes spend in the dryer. Do this once a month (if you don't do much laundry) or once every couple of weeks (for families).

I got this tip from some nurse friends on getting blood out of fabrics. I have used it on both fresh blood stains and old ones. Soak in Hydrogen Perioxide (do not dilute) and after letting it do its work breaking down the enzymes in the blood stain, rinse and if necessary use ordinary bar of soap or laundry detergent and gently scrub.

My mum had a bit of an accident when she made fish she put it on the side board to be threw out and by an accident she lifted it along with the dirty laundry and put it in the washing machine she now cant get the smell of fish out of her washing machine can u help?? pls

I believe biological washing powder is laundry soap, I think... 99.9% sure!

Just to clarify for some: Biological Washing Powder is Powder Detergent (laundry detergent) here in the US. So stuff like Cheer, Tide, Dreft, and so forth. If you go to an organic store, you'll find Biological ones and non-biological ones

Fresh sweaters and laundry, year round. I keep a couple of unused Bounce sheets in bureau drawers, sweater chest, and in the dirty laundry chest. No need to spend money on those expensive drawer liners--and the dirty laundry really isn't so bad after that.

the Ultimate Stain Remover for laundry is 1/4 cup automated dishwasher powder (cascade) 1/2 cup non chlorine bleach(clorax 2) and 1 gallon of hot water. Let the clothes soak for 8 hours and wash in the normal wash mode with this solution, no additional soap required. This gets out blood and other stains that have been set in for years. The only thing it hasnt gotten out it ink.

For the bonfire dog pee dilemma-- try a urine remover with enzymes, or a laundry detergent with enzymes (also called biological powder) --mixed with a bit of water, so it's like paste. Leave it overnight, then wet-vac it up (or blot it up with a lot of papertowels or old rags). Also, I've heard piling salt does well on fresh stains, for soaking up the liquid (let dry, then vacuum up the salt crumbles). Good luck. --I just found runny poo on our white carpet. ;o;

I've successfully cleaned vinyl blinds by taking them to the self-serve car wash. They come out spotless and many blinds can be done in one convenient trip. Take a plastic garbage bag along to keep the remaining water from damaging your auto's upholstery. I've also done this with a carpet runner that was heavily soiled and would not fit into my laundry machine. Be sure to take care, though. The high pressure soap and water can damage the blinds if the hose is held too close.

A quick and easy way to clean a moldy, scaly shower curtain is to simply toss it into the washing machine with a cup or two of white vinegar and a small amount of laundry detergent (with the machine set on "warm water"). All hail Kim and Aggie!

Laundry stain remover. In a spray bottle mix 1 part alcohol, 1 part baby shampoo and 2 parts water. Spray on stains, launder and stains are gone.

Keep your fluff filter clean: If you use fabric softener/conditioner in your laundry, be sure to clean your filter regularly. Conditioner adheres to the filter over time which restricts air flow. As a result, your dryer will have to work harder and hotter, resulting in longer drying time, higher energy bills, and can possibly damage the heating element or thermostat. Every month or so, pull out the filter and wipe off the fluff. Put a few drops of water on the filter. If the water doesn't trickle straight through, then your filter is clogged. A quick bath in washing up liquid and warm water (don't forget to rinse) will remove any buildup.
