Keeping your house neat and tidy can feel like a full-time job! When it comes to household chores, laundry is among the most dreaded. Some simple tips and tricks can cut down your laundry time and make this weekly task a breeze.

Oh no! You’ve planned your outfit for the day and now you’re getting dressed – but everything fits all wrong! The horror of finding your favorite shirt or pants shrunk after a wash cycle is real and common. And it’s made worse by the creeping fear that the snug fit might be a sign of weight gain!

There’s nothing like the disappointment of digging into your (finally!) in-season spring wardrobe and finding that your precious pieces have been marred with yellow stains and discoloration! It’s happened to most of us.

Oh that sinking feeling when you slosh the wine, pour too enthusiastically, or accidentally knock over your glass… Red wine is notoriously difficult to get out of clothes, carpets, and any other form of fabric unfortunate enough to catch it. This is because the pigments in red wine soak into the fibers of the cloth and begin to set immediately.

It’s a familiar feeling – a mixture of awe, pride, and dread as you lay out your heirloom holiday linens. They’re so delicate and beautiful – but they also feel terrifyingly fragile. You don’t know how your grandmother kept them so spotless through two generations of holiday family dinners, but you’re pretty sure these shouldn’t go in the washing machine. But you can’t let fear ruin your perfectly planned holiday table!
