A Lens About Laundry
.JPG)
Everyone who owns clothes and wears them needs to also wash them at some point. Some people are better about this then others but we won't get into that. The main purpose of this lens is to give you tips on caring for your clothes. You'll also find some great products to help you with that process and perhaps even an expert or two will join in and add their two cents. But for now, enjoy the lens and happy laundry day!
Laundry Directions

Modern Laundry Baskets from Amazon
Believe it or not, your laundry basket can fall apart pretty quickly if you don't get one that's sturdy enough. Especially if you've got kids that play in them occasionally or if you've got a lot of jeans that you wash. Get a better quality basket and it will last you a very long time.

Caring for Your Clothes
Ironing Your Clean Laundry
Ironing is one thing I hate to do but it makes your clothes look sooooo much better. Normally, I'll let my husband iron something for me. Isn't that nice that he does that for me? Not many guys like to iron I'm sure. But I do the laundry and he does the ironing. Sometimes he even helps me with folding and he's really good at it. I love my husband! The Washing Machine
Check out this Guide to Common Home Laundering & Drycleaning Symbols!
A washer machine, or washer, is a machine designed to clean laundry, such as clothing, towels and sheets. The term is mostly applied only to machines that use water as the primary cleaning solution, as opposed to dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids, and is performed by specialist businesses) or even ultrasonic cleaners.
All washer machines work by using mechanical energy, thermal energy, and chemical action. Mechanical energy is imparted to the clothes load by the rotation of the agitator in top loaders, or by the tumbling action of the drum in front loaders. Thermal energy is supplied by the temperature of the wash bath.

Hanging clothes outside to dry saves energy, dryer sheets and money. One word of warning, however, watch out for bees or wasps in your clothes before bringing them into the house. From first hand experience, my mother accidently did not shake out my sister's pajamas and she was stung numerous times.
