Laundry Tips!~Let's share!
This is the place to share laundry tips! Goodness knows there are some secrets out there that could benefit us all! I only have a couple and the best tip I have my grandpa taught me years ago:
Use cold water on blood (hot water sets the stain!) Putting anything in the dryer sets the stain. Use Lavender Oil (or similar) to get out oil (car, motor boat, etc.). On a cloth botch spot. Please add!!

Pour some salt onto that blood stain along with cold water and rub. This helps tremendously. Shout is also an awesome product. Love Oxy Clean too. Hairspray works on any ink stains. I told you guys I love laundry. I am pretty good at getting out any stain.

Just thought of another one.... Adding a cup of vinegar to your whites keeps them from yellowing. The smell goes out fast if you use dryer sheets.

For our daily showers I keep only white towels, since white can be bleached to stay fresh looking.
When the kids were young I kept red washcloths on hand too in case they got a "booboo" since blood doesn't look near as scary to a child when it's on an already red cloth' and if they stained it hardly showed!

I learned this from my grandma last year.. I had some grease spots on my jeans from work and she mixed vinegar with dish soap and scrubbed that into the stain using an old toothbrush. After washing again the stain was gone!

It's not all your husband's fault I just think men can't clean themselves. My hubby uses a whole roll of toilet paper, plugs the stool everytime, & still has skidmarks. Maybe we should make them all shower everytime after pooping.
