Forget Your Fabric Softener, you don't need it

Hello HouseHold Tippers!

Today a tip about economizing-

"Skip the fancy fabric softener.
That doesn't mean you have to put up with scratchy clothes! 
Besides being a pain to remember, fabric softener is one of those extra expenses you can cut without sacrificing.
You can still get the soft clothes you love by using those
plastic nubbed balls they sell for your dryer. 
Simply toss the balls in with your clothes
and they'll do the work of that fabric softener for a lot less money."

How To Wash Stuffed Animals Safely!

There he is, Good Ol' Winnie the Pooh!

My son LOVES his Pooh, and has slept with
PoohBear every night since he could grasp a
stuffed animal with his hands.

There have been times, poor Pooh has been covered with food,
drink,
and... vomit.

I learned the hard way - HOW TO WASH STUFFED ANIMALS.

And I'm sharing today with you.

1.  Do not do what I did the 1st time and simply throw the stuffed animal in the washer, and then the dryer.  The stuffed animal will lose some 'fur' and after the dryer, will smell burnt and be singed (We had to throw that Pooh out and run to the store and get an exact replica, luckily, my son was too young to notice- at the time).

So, How do you clean/wash stuffed animals safely?

1.  Put the stuffed animal in a pillow case.

2.  Close the pillow case with a rubber band.

3.  Put it in in the washer, run it.

4.  Put it (still in the pillow case) in the dryer.

It will come out looking like new :)

I've done this, I know it works!

Sweet Dreams!

What to do with 'One Sock'

Hello HouseHold Tippers!
Have you ever asked, 
"What do I do with all these single socks?"


Well, here's a great tip I found on 
the Good HouseKeeping website!


'Whether they don't land in the hamper or are eaten by the washer, stray socks litter the laundry room and clog dresser drawers. Collect clean single socks in a bin by the dryer. Then host a re-pairing party (invite the kids!) to match up the stragglers. Use leftovers for dusting.'

GREAT TIP!
