Jeans and color in cold water but if you wash your whites in hot water they get alot cleaner

I have recently started separating towels, haha just because its nice to have an entire load of easy to fold laundry. All of my son`s clothes are still separated too.I will also sometimes sep. my fiances work clothes if they are really gross. He works in a restuarant and it is almost impossible to get that food smell out. I only use cold water, I don`t even think our hot water is hooked up to the washer at this house...we knew would never use it.

Whites, towels, darks, sheets, baby clothes...all seperated and all done with cold water...except SO work clothes are done compeltely seperate with hot water. I also use the Kirkland liquid soap (for everything)

I wash/rinse on cold and use tea tree laundry products. I usually try to separate out towels, sheets, etc.. lights and darks. If I feel extremely organized I do it by person but not always.

LOL! We have `my laundry` and `your laundry` (that`s husband`s laundry). We each do our own laundry, and no one gets hurt. I tend to use "cold" all the time, unless there's dog poop on something. Then I use "hot" and bleach too.

I wash everything in cold water and use only half or less of the recommended amount of detergent. I only separate out things that are very expensive and white or light colored. If you use hot water to kill germs, it doesn`t actually work. What really kills germs in your laundry is the high heat of the dryer or drying them in direct sunlight on a line. So that`s why I never use hot or warm water since the hot water actually makes most stains worse.

Unless it is red and dark black, lol, I mix any color and wash whites with lights seperate. When I pull them out of dryer I have a laundry basket for each of us. I fold it and place in the appropriate basket so all they have to do is grab and put away. And it makes it easier if I fall behind on putting it away they can easily find their basket and sort through it to find what they need :) I wash with peroxide too as a great whitner. All clothes are washed on warm.

three seperations: darks, lights, and towels/sheets. I always wash in cold water.

I tend to use warm water for all my laundry and hot for towels or sheets. I seperate colors/blacks and whites. I usually do a seperate load with towels and sheets though.

I separate it and I wash most things in cold water unless it`s whites then I use hot. I also dry on low temps too so I don`t shrink everything.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
