ironing, starching, laundry cleaners.....

Laundry day !

Thinking about all the washing, separating by color all items to wash, white only together, no fading of other clothing onto white items, called fabric bleeding, colorful fabrics stain onto white fabrics, goes for all linens, clothing.....use a fave fabric detergent, soap, many to choose from, smell nice ! Fabric softener, Snuggle brand !

Bluing is a solution that keeps whites very crisp, whiter, stops fading or yellowing...follow instructions on bottle, use only on white fabrics...Mrs. Stewart's, is a brand of Bluing, other brands.......

 ironing, starching using the hot clothing irons to press clean clothing, jeans, tops, these are very hot, some steam press, irons are wall electrical plug in operated, very hot !!! Will burn clothing so be careful, catch clothing on fire, never leave set down onto clothing, only press, lift, turn clothing to iron away creases, wrinkles on the just cleaned wear........starch is a solution we can spray, or sprinkle on the clothing before ironing, helps the clothing be strong, keep away wrinkles, smells clean, I use Easy On, and Faultless Starches, these are the spray, spray small amount then press with iron, keeps all wear tidy clean crisp !!!

Sta -- Flo is a liquid starch brand I have used before, it is in a blue bottle, you rinse clothing in liquid, then wring it out dampen, then iron, older style, works well....find generally at local stores I think, purchased years ago....

Iron on Jean repair patches with sticky backing, iron on with press cloth, these are helpful, and I adore the iron on, sequin, rhinestone, embroidery character patches, use press cloth again, place sticky gelled side of patches down onto clothing, so character faces up, shows, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Jo - anns, craft stores have these cute, sparkled adornments for all clothing, very fun, cute, traditional, or you can see them onto clothing......crafty adornments.

After washing, ironing, or purchasing, you may wish for garment bags that zipper to keep dressy clothing, very crisp, nice, clean......store wear, portable, on hanger, all styles, prices...dark to conceal clothing interior the garment bag, nice !

The clothing cleaners locally, can clean your clothing, they starch they press, iron all jeans, dress shirts for you ! This is a much quicker easier way to get your clothing ironed, pressed, starched if you have extra time, money......drop off in garment mesh bags, or others, write name address, phone numbers, pick up and pay them for this when they tell you, what day, time.....

Clothing plastic hampers with lids are good for using to place unclean clothing interior usually sets in bathroom or laundry room, in corner, these you go through at end of week or when you have time to sort, wash the soiled, unclean clothing.......These are also in mesh or cloth hampers, all prices, Wal-Mart, target, Kmart, Bed Bath Beyond, Tuesday Mornings, Big Lots, these stores others have them, maybe even Dollar Stores.....very helpful, available in colorful, or plain white, black, beiges.........throw all unclean clothing in !!! Another tidy organization.  :)

Trash cans are needed near the kitchen, in all rooms at least have the smaller plastic trash cans, throw in trash, unneeded garbage in all rooms, keep things cleaner, pick-up the trash, be tidy, I often use grocery store or other shopping plastic bags in these small trash cans, recycling the plastic bags is nice......or purchase the small trash bags at Wal-Mart, dollar stores, all.......

For the kitchen I use a thirty gallon trash can, grand enough for me, kitchen trashes, and I use a matching sized trash bags....all brands, styles, I keep emptying the small trash cans, as they fill and tie them up at handles, then throw into the kitchen thirty gallon, then onto garbage can outdoors for trash pick up, trash services are needed, city, town, rural country side areas, along with waste facilities, waste dumps, controlled, owned operated only by those of goodness ! The world all over needs this, trashes, messes cleaned up, very tidy, we need to be clean, represent !  ;)

Love, Julie !
