3 Super Hints to keep the Washing Machine clean.

These handy tips came from the dryer repair guy. Who would have thought he would have such good hints for laundry and washing machine.
Cleaning the Washing Machine:
* 2 teaspoons Lavender in warm wash cycle. This deals with residue that builds up in the machine.
* Then follow up with a gallon of white vinegar in a warm wash cycle, do this every 3 to 4 years.
* Natural detergents act like fertilizer so you will need to do this cleaning more often.

Amount of Soap:
* Correct amount of laundry solution to use depends on our location, if soft water in costal areas use only 1/4 of the recommended amount. Harder water areas use double the soft water area. I find the box says way more than you need to use.

Laundry Loads:
* Sort by fabric weight rather than colors, this gives a better cleaning. Laundry soap companies want you to sort by color and laundry machine companies want you to sort by weight. The best washes are sorted by fabric weight as you get a better spin with the machine and thus a better wash.

While on the subject of Gramma's Coverlette, I would like to add that after 100 plus years you must think the thing is just filthy. Not so Gramma put that sucker in the big galvanized tub and put it on the stove and boiled the heck out of it, then squeezed it out by twisting it, then hung it on the line for 5 days to dry.
Aren't we lucky today to have that wonderful washer dryer combo, we would have Gramma's coverlette washed and dryed in about an hour, and very sanitized I might add, no leaves or twigs stuck in it, and not to mention no risk of bird poo!!!
ps. See what happens when Gramma leaves her wash tub outside to cool - Really big problem........
