Folding Fitted Sheets - folded sheet sets on the closet shelf

Folding Fitted SheetsI remember the days when we did not have fitted sheets and if the sheet was not tucked in good, you would wake up and find yourself laying on the mattress.

A white strip of Velcro over a lint covered pair of pants.

Remove White Lint with VelcroI accidentally threw my husband's dark pants and other dark clothing into the front load washer that I didn't realize, or see that I already had white towel rags in there already. I wasn't even looking, I just took a "hug full" of his dark clothing, threw them in the washer, and started it up.

A pair of wet socks inside a towel.

Quickly Dry Small Clothing ItemsNot having your washed clothes dry in time for an event can be a bit of a damper. (Get it? Damper! Sorry.) Here is how to get them dry quickly. Here is a real-life example with my socks.

A red t-shirt that is being washed in the sink to remove the excess dye.

Wash New Colored T-shirt SeparatelyI put my red t-shirt in the bag with some dirty clothes to bring home from a trip. It must have had a little damp spot on it because it bled onto my beige shorts. I'm glad I did not throw it in the wash with the colored clothes. The white on my husbands plaid shirts may have come out pink.

Dirty towels stored in smaller baskets in the laundry room.

Baskets to Store Dirty Kitchen Towels and SpongesI like to wash some items separately from others. This includes all of my kitchen hand towels, dish sponges, dust cloths, and cleaning rags. To keep them from getting mixed in with the other laundry, I store the used towels/sponges beneath my sink in small dollar baskets.

Stretching Fabric SoftenerThere is nothing more pleasing to me on laundry day than smelling the fragrance coming from my bottle of Gain Fabric Softener. Problem is that I live on a limited income and all the "name brand" fabric softeners can become pricey.

Questions

Removing Eucerin Cream from ClothingMy grandchild has to use Eucerin Cream all over every day for his skin condition. Washing is impossible and we've tried so many degreasers, but the fat from the cream clogs the machine. Any advice about what we can soak his clothes in? He's five months old.

Whitening Up a Fuzzy JacketIs there any way to whiten up a fuzzy jacket that's been washed/dried and never seen bleach of any kind?

Bleach and Hard Water Made Whites BeigeBleach + hardwater (high iron) caused whites to turn beige. How do I get them white again without using Iron-Out which is not available here, or any ready made product for such problems. I've already used baking soda. It didn't work. What else can I use? Perhaps something from the chemical shop. A DIY solution?

Washed and Dried Clothes Smell BadI live in a rental unit. The laundry room is shared with 2 other families. Most of the time after washing and drying my clothes they smell like they where washed with sewer water. The clothes after being dried feel greasy and have a bad sewer smell to it.

Clothes Washed in Well Water Have Stains

Clothes Washed in Well Water Have StainsI have well water and for some reason when I wash my clothes I am getting large reddish brown blotches on my clothing! I can't figure out why. Our iron is fine and we have no hard water so what could cause this?
