Thanks for your video, it's great to consider how washing gets done differently in different places and traditions. Washing cloth nappies changed how I look at laundry completely. I don't use fabric softener at all anymore. Vinegar can also be hard on your washing machine, so use with caution. Longer, warmer washes are really the best way to get your washing clean. If your clothes are getting cleaned properly they won't have that musty smell, so it takes the pressure off to get them out of the washing machine straight away. In Australia it's not common practice to dry all laundry in a dryer; most people air dry a lot of their laundry. A load a day works well when air drying; I pop a load on in the morning (or last thing at night), and hang in the morning when I can, putting away the previous day's load at the same time.
Per Melissa Maker wash all your microfiber towels by themselves in cold water and cool dryer. That way they stay good and don’t pick up all the lint from the other clothes
I will have to try cleaning vinegar . This must be different than white vinegar? Can you purchase this at the grocery store or would you recommend Target or Walmart? Thank you for the great tips.
Cleaning vinegar is in the cleaning aisle at the grocery store. It is more acidic than regular distilled vinegar. I have found that using regular distilled vinegar is effective for my laundry. I only use cleaning vinegar for cleaning outside.

Before Flylady I used to call it a necessary evil 🤣 I hope you are having a blessed week! ❤
Thank you. It really is better since starting FlyLady.
Blessings on you for getting to feel better. We love you. Take care of you. Thanks for the great tips.
I’m embarrassed that I’ve been using fabric softener all this time.

Good tip. I don’t dry mine per the flyLady instructions.
Thank you for praying 🙏🏻
You are so welcome. It is the best thing I can do for anyone.
I only use vinegar for fabric softener on my towels. The fabric softener coats towels in a build up and keeps them from being absorbent.
That’s my favorite tip. I could really tell a difference.
😮 I use fabric softener on every load!
It’s not good.
Sounds like you’ve been watching Clean My Space. Great channel 😊
I do, she is so helpful.
A load a day keeps Mt. Washmore away🤣 Thanks for the softener idea, I'm gong to try it on gym clothes too ^_^
Hope you like it!

Both. It’s a cheaper version of white vinegar.
In Jesus’ name. Amen 🙏🏻
