I just think it's icky if you don't wash your underwear, towels, and socks in HOT water, but like I've said before, I'm a germaphobe.

Ditto!!

Sometimes when you buy new towels, they don't seem to dry the body as good as older towels do. Just add salt to the water it hardens them up a bit.

Oh this is a fabulous tip! I HATE the feel of new towels. I also hate those colored balls new towels leave on you when you dry off with them.

My son use to get nose bleeds at that time too and I was told to use a humidifier in the house. It worked!! No more waking up to a bloody nose.

I don't really have any good tips either!!! I always wash whites separate in bleach and hot water and then colors in warm/cold. I always wash my husbands underwear separate. I don't know how he does it, (well I do and I'll tell you in a munute) but he leave sh*t stains and chunks in his underware. I've told him and told him, but to no avail. NUMBNUTS!!!!! I just don't want any of that crap touching my undies!!!!

Here's the reason: Hubby takes two squares of toilet paper, folds them over and then wipes. I've told him to use more and get that damn butt crack clean, but he doesn't listen. GROSS!!!!!

I'm laughing so hard I HURT! Aren't we lucky it's only ladies here? Our hubbies would just die if they read our conversations.

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.

Get the tide stick. I somehow got salsa on my coach purse & I used my tide stick & it came right out. It's also gotten grease out of my khaki AE capris. I never really expected it to work, but it does. My hubby says it got set in paint out of his jeans also.

I like this idea! LOL

The only tip I have...if you hurry and take clothes (slightly damp) out of the dryer and hang them immediately, you don't have to iron! I hate ironing!

okay since it really works i'm gonna have to buy four or five- 1 for my purse. 1 for each of the girl's backpacks(they get messy at lunch!!!) one to put in my glove box and one to put in my hubby's glove box and probably make one into a necklace for me to wear!!! that's why i never get dressed up nice because two seconds after i walk out the door i get something on me-it could be dirt or a bird would s*** on me but it is always something!!! so i've just been a jeans a tshirt girl my whole life
