My summer laundry stinks!
Pre-soaking it, hot water, none
of it was working. My tennis
and biking clothes were the worst.
But, even the towels were starting to reek.
I had made the switch in winter to natural
laundry detergent. But the sweat of summer
has taken it’s toll on all my laundry. I have experienced
various laundry faux pas through the years.
Once I was running a road race on a hot
summer day. My legs were sudsing up. Later I
discovered you were only to use laundry powder,
not the liquid. It is hard to find the powder detergent.
I am not too serious about my laundry, unless it starts not feeling clean
or stinks.
I have had this laundry conversation with maybe a dozen
people. I know what laundry soap people are using .I know about wool balls
for the dryer. I know about home made laundry soap. A gal from my
book club knew why the natural stuff didn’t work- she used many big
words and it did make sense.
But really- I just want clean laundry. The intense heat of summer
forced me to switch back to my mother’s laundry soap.
Total Outside hours to date: 469 hours
P.S. One of my tennis friends told me marigolds are
invasive. She’s right about that my garden is over taken
with them.
