    2 Great Laundry Tips.....Money Savers....

    Two great " Laundry  Tips "..Tried and True
     
    1..... Save on Laundry Softener...A reusable fabric softener cloth
     
    Take a Wash Cloth ....Mark it with a marker  " with a large S" .....so you know it is the softener cloth
     
    Take a non-metallic bowl....put the wash cloth into the bowl and pour a bunch of liquid fabric softener into the bowl
     
    Let it soak for maybe 30 minutes until it soaks up the liquid fabric softener.
     
    Wear some plastic gloves and take it out of the bowl and squeeze out the excess liquid...(.wear gloves so your hands don't smell like fabric softener....)
     
    Hang it up somewhere to dry over a bowl or pan to catch the drips.
     
    Take the excess fabric softener liquid in the non-metallic bowl and pour it back into the original
    fabric softener bottle to use another time.
     
    Let the soaked cloth dry for maybe 24 hours.
     
    Now you have a fabric softener "sheet"...that will last for 100 plus loads of laundry..
     
    When the fabric softener cloth stops working....just repeat the whole process all over again.
     
    Just keep the fabric softener wash cloth in your dryer all the time so you know where it is..Marking
    it with a  "large S" makes everyone know that is the reusable fabric softener cloth.
    ...............................................................................................................................................
     
    2.......TIP: for drying your load of laundry in 1/2 the normal drying time
     
    Put  one  "Dry bathtowel"  into the dryer with your wet laundry
     
    Your clothes will dry in 1/2 the usual time.

    My DD best friend 3 doors down just told me she does this...She is a Miss Susie Homemaker.

    She said she did not believe it when a lady told her , and she says it does work...It is May now and she is using the same "dryer cloth" since the New Year....

    And the bath towel trick she says really works too...

    She said to wear gloves so your hands don't smell like fabric softener....

    But she swears by these two tips....

    The lady said she is using the same bottle of liquid softener for 2 years now.....So you really don't need to get a huge bottle to even do this....Just soak and pour back what you squeeze out....

    I do the bath towel trick.  I use an old one that I keep in the dryer.  I wouldn't say it cuts the drying time by half, but I'd guess 1/4 to a 1/3, depending on what (and how much) you have in the dryer.  I 'm going to try the fabric softener trick.

     I came across that tip about the softener a few years back, and was SO happy to try it, as the scent that I REALLY like seems to have been discontinued, and I have 2 big bottles of it that I bought on sale...maybe I need to find someone to will them to when I'm gone!

    I came across the towel trick by accident one time, and WOW, is it good for those clothes that don't take well to ironing, but get a little wrinkled in the wash, or something that needs to be dried FAST!
