15 Laundry Tips to Make Your Clothes Last Longer
Buying new clothes is fun. Seeing your new clothes fray in just a few weeks isn't fun. This happens when clothes are made poorly or laundered improperly. I'm a grandmother and have been doing laundry for decades. These laundry tips keep my clothes looking new and should do the same for you.
1. Sort clothes into whites, darks, and natural/synthetic fibers. Sorting laundry is an old idea, but it's a good idea. If you don't sort your clothes they start to look gray.
2. Pretreat spots with dish soap. Don't spend money on expensive spot removers because dish soap works just as well. Squeeze a few drops on the spot and rub vigorously under cold, running water.
3. Brush stubborn stains with dish soap and an old tooth brush or nail brush. Don't brush too hard, though, or you may damage the fabric.
4. Turn slacks and jeans inside out to prevent fraying. You will want to do this if you bought designer jeans and paid a designer price. I wash my jeans in cold water.
5. Close and lock all zippers. Open zippers damage other clothes and may even damage the inside of your washing machine.
6. Make sure all pockets are empty. Colored paper and receipts can permanently dye other clothes in the washer.
7. Don't overload your machine. When you overload the washer the items rub against each other more and cause fraying. It's better to do two medium loads than one huge load.
8. Use less soap. According to my repair man, "The directions are there to sell soap. You need only a third of that amount. Too much soap will damage your washing machine."
9. Dissolve dry bleach in warm water before using. Add the bleach to your washing machine as it is filling.
10. Use the gentle cycle. Modern washing machines agitate more than the old ones and the regular cycle can "sandpaper" your clothes.
11. Air dry laundry to lower power bills and prolong the life of your clothes. Hang blouses, shirts, and t-shirts on plastic hangers. Tug on the sleeves and hems to smooth out wrinkles.
12. Forgo dryer sheets. The long-term use of dryer sheets (which kite the cost of doing laundry) has caused dermatitis in some people.
13. Toss a dry hand towel in with wet clothes to cut drying time.
14. Remove perma-press items from the dryer immediately. If you fail to do this, toss a damp wash cloth in the dryer and set the dryer for another five minutes.
15. Fold your clothes immediately and put them away.
Do you have college-age kids? Print out this list and give it to them. Knowing how to do laundry is a practical skill that pays off.

To Dust a Room - Keeping Up With the Dust Bunnies
You don’t hear much talk about dusting these days. With vacuums and sealed in homes you would think there is no need to dust anymore.
But the opposite is true. We still need to dust. To ward off allergies and just for healthy living in general.
I won’t go into the particular details of the kind of the dirt we bring in from the outdoors, the fibers from clothing and carpeting, and other unmentionable dust sources but chances are if you haven’t dusted in a while you need to. Just trust me on this.
Dust can aggravate and bring on allergies. Keeping it at bay keeps you healthier and reduces allergy symptoms. Don't just knock it down, get rid of it completely.
So how often should you dust?
Well each room that you use regularly should get a regular dusting of surfaces at least once a week.
Rooms with carpeting that get a lot of daily use should be vacuumed daily. Items that have filters should have the filters cleaned or replaced regularly.
This means your heating and air conditioning systems, vacuums with filter bags, clothes dryers etc.
How should you go about dusting?
1. Use a duster get upper corners and the tops of windows and doors.
2. Use a duster to knock the dust bunnies off of walls.
3. Use a dust rag (dampened) to wipe dust off off furniture, lamps and such.
4. Use a duster to get around knick knacks and books on shelves.
5. Vacuum after you dust.
6. Once a month remove the knick knacks, dust them with a damp cloth. Do the same to the the shelf fully to keep dust bunnies at bay.
I also use a furniture cream about once a month. It adds a nice scent to the home and conditions the wood (or so it says).
Frugal dusting tip: Reuse an old fabric dryer sheet by damping it slightly and using it to pick up that bathroom dust such as hair and towel fibers.
Dusting is not passe. So keep it up. It does make a difference.
