Mine is one I learned while helping do laundry for a golf weekend at a hotel for extra cash if someone has stubborn underarm (sweat) stains on a shirt or blouse soaking in a cup of warm water with about 10 aspirins that have been crushed up will get the stain out.

    Mine is don’t let my wife do the laundry. She always leaves stuff in the pockets and mixing light colored clothes with the dark and she uses fabric softener on the towels which makes the soft but less absorbent so they don’t really work very well.

    my best tip i learned from my grandmother is instead of putting fabric softner in the cup thing in the middle of the machine fill the machine like a third of the way with water and put the fabric fotner and soap in the water before putting the clothes in. :) works great to keep them spot free and smelling and looking clean

    do not put the whites in the colors or you well make the whites pink.

    I wash everything together in cold water on the normal cycle — it all comes out good. I really only wear work clothes all the time, and using warm or hot water, as well as separating colors (I only buy color fast items), from whites is just a waste of time and money. If I have any "going out" or nice clothes, I wash them separately — but that is rare. The one semi-formal suit, and one tuxedo I own are dry-cleaned.

    When I have a stain, I put a combo of Dawn dish soap, Tide, and Shout all on the stain, and then I soak it in cold water and scrub with a toothbrush. Usually I can get the stains out.

    Dont wear underwear, it cuts down on the size of laundry loads, and if you are a clean person, underwear is irelevant anyways.

  14. Kenneth says:

    you can do that or you can put some baking soda in it

    I just put a scoop of oxy clean in everyload and it takes the stains out. My son spilled a bowl of spagetti sauce on a new burber carpet. You know how hard it is to get out of everything. Nothing was working. I made a small batch of oxy clean and hot water, poured it over the entire stain and the next morning it was completely gone. Oxy clean is magical.

    using dishwasher detergent on tough stains with arm and hammer + vinegar

    Use full strength AWESOME to get grease out of clothing. It cost $1.00 a bottle at Dollar General.
    It works fabulously!!!

    Read the laundry details on the tag of your shirt or pants—CAREFULLY. Just detergenated a 70 dollar pair of pants when it can only be dry-cleaned. Now I have white spots wherever detergent touched.

    Not wearing clothes.

  20. T says:

    Don’t use fabric softener sheets with nice towels and linens, it can cause areas of discoloration.
