[@lisaeaves3692]

8:25 in video. What is the laundry rinse you suggest. I did not see a link 8:25

[@glassgoddess8646]

​@@lisaeaves3692I was looking for that too. Thank you for asking.

[@MsWestcoastbeauty]

Yes what’s the laundry rinse you recommend?

[@marychan5877]

Thanks for your helpful tips! Can you make a clip on paper detergent??

[@ashleytren1337]

I worked at a clothing store for a few years. All I'm going to say is I will always wash new clothing first before wearing them.

[@debikirkwood9784]

I absolutely wash new clothes before I put them on!

[@ChurchladyHmm]

My husband is feral and used to sleep in the dirt. But he requires all new clothing be washed before he will even try it on lol

[@gohawks3571]

Amen!

[@TheRealJules]

I won’t even try on a swimsuit without my undies on. Needless to say, EVERYTHING gets washed before I will wear it.

[@narelleworks8448]

So do I!!

[@cathyb6358]

I would prefer to have someone do my dishes. I don't like doing laundry, but laundry is personal. Having your daughter's artwork in the laundry room must make you smile.

[@dianereinert4552]

Old school steam dryer - very damp towel with items to be steamed. This usually generates enough steam to refresh things. Not efficient, but handy.

[@lizherbst7393]

💯! I go old school with this too!

[@sgallant2107]

I keep water in a spray bottle near my cellar laundry (no sink). I will spray a facecloth and toss it in with any dry but wrinkly clothes.

[@ninabooker2904]

Yes I always wash new stuff before using it. I would choose to have someone sweep, mop and vacuum my floors. I don’t mind laundry or dishes. ❤❤ Love the channel, TY for the excellent laundry tips.

[@rashmimathur5318]

I love doing both the laundry and dishes 😂 so calming and mind numbing just what u need before and after an overstimulation day 😅 I have my best ideas when I fold my laundry and do the dishes by hand

[@sithtrish3727]

Just to add, I always keep the washer door open for a day after laundry is done to prevent bacteria and mold from growing.

[@henriettelinkshanderin1449]

Me too! Most people don't get it and they rather buy all kinds of perfumed stuff (softener, laundry perfume,...) to mask the smell instead of keeping their machine clean. 🤢

[@marilynndesilva7620]

Same here. I open the door wide while the clothes are drying, then after I've removed them from the dryer I close the washer door until it is slightly ajar. The only time it is completely closed is when it is running.

[@pbear7814]

Same, plus drawer

[@lynnetowne9076]

Got a new washer/dryer set and reading through the manual (yes, I am that person) I saw they recommend leaving the washer door or lid open for a day to let it thoroughly dry out to prevent mildew growing in the machine. Our last machines lasted 27 years and I plan to get at least 20 out of these. Cleaning and airing the machines just as regular maintenance are what the dealer said made them last so long. Think of it like cleaning your shower or tub; dirt, body oils, and soap scum need to be cleaned off of both. Great video! Love seeing your baby's artwork framed on the wall. :)

[@rosebud3510]

I rather do laundry than dishes. Riley’s picture is beautiful!

[@KBlue728]

Go Riley!! 💙 I'm fine with dishes or laundry. Ever since i started doing one load a day years ago never had a problem. Dishes are like giving your silverware and spoons a bath. Just give me hot sudsy water, some music and I'm good. Now if you don't rinse your stuff first we have a problem! I like clean dish water!

[@janis7964]

Yes, always wash new clothes before wearing! I love doing laundry, I mean, how hard is it? You throw your items into one machine, then put them in another and then hang them up. We don't have to scrub them on a rock, then put them through the ringer and then hang to dry!!! Love Rileys pic😁 I am not finding info on your fav fabric rinse. Can you let me know? Thx

[@verofleblanc]

My favorite cleaning task is the laundry. Dont know why just always loved it 😊

[@chloek.5076]

I absolutely love doing laundry, hanging them, folding them and organizing them in closet is my favourite chore

[@ChurchladyHmm]

I enjoy doing both laundry and dishes. I catch myself humming and I feel content. Remembering this when Im looking for motivation is my struggle.

[@anntaylor4247]

I love cleaning but loathe cooking. The luxury of a chef would be absolute bliss.

I set my schedule around laundry. Dishes on the other hand are my nemesis. And Riley's artwork is beautiful.

[@camgeiger]

Love the artwork! For me I don't mind dishes or laundry, what I hate is putting them away! It's super easy if you have a dishwasher to just, ya know, load the dishes. I just hate how long it takes to put both the dishes away and to fold and put laundry away. Now, if we're handwashing dishes, or laundry, I'll do laundry all day long!

[@debbiehekel2871]

I love that you have Riley’s picture in your laundry room. Thanks for the motivation. I made my bed and folded and put away a load of laundry.

[@chareve1958]

Oh good...I get motivated watching your shenanigans!!

[@cleanmyspace]

I'm glad my shenanigans can motivate you!

[@christinelamb1167]

I ALWAYS wash new clothes, sheets, towels (anything fabric!) before using/wearing, for sure! And, hands down I would LOVE for someone to do my laundry, because I can't stand it!😝 I actually don't mind doing dishes, it's kind of relaxing and therapeutic for me. 😁

[@EveryBunny]

Watching and loving because I invested in my first commercial washer/dryer set and I want it to stay perfect ❤

[@kittycat4718]

I despise dishes. I love doing the laundry. I would gladly pay someone to do my dishes! LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel! You inspire me to clean and try new ideas and they are super helpful tips! :)

[@beanie1954]

Great tips. I'm in my late 60's and proof you can teach an old dog new tricks. I learned a few things with this video! I do see Ryan's picture. Ryan, you have talent. Thanks again.

[@janer2703]

I am crazy. I like doing dishes and laundry. Best advice for laundry: A Speed Queen washer. The BEST!

[@libbyreed8588]

I can do laundry and dishes all day. Vacuuming is my issue. Thank goodness for my Roomba vac.

[@lenaholmes97]

Refreshed the subscription box right as my washer sang it's "I'm done" song Perfect timing! 😂

[@ashley.hulsey]

I delay start my washer every night (with that day's clothing from everyone in the house) to run at 6 am. Then, when I get home from dropping the kids at school in the morning, I switch to dryer and fold around lunchtime. I am always washing yesterday's clothing today. Game changer!

[@Chunkymonkey309]

That’s smart! I need to try that

[@sueberger1434]

Dishes for sure! I know I’m weird but I don’t mind doing laundry at all. Love the fresh clean smell!

[@dianamalik3599]

Thank you soooo much! This video is a game changer for me….❤😊❤

[@tamathalamphear2935]

Absolutely 💯 wash before wear!

[@melissahancock1831]

Riley’s artwork is great! I always love your tips and tricks!❤

[@shellyhollingsworth3909]

I generally wash new clothes before I wear them, always under garments. I love my delayed wash cycle, for the reasons you stated😀Didn't know I shouldn't use wool dryer balls for all items. I use to hate doing my dishes. Now it's my laundry instead. That's the task that I wish someone else would do. I learned so much in this video! Thanks!!

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

❤ someone to do my dishes😂 I actually find to do clothes washing therapeutic, I love folding clothes 🤷‍♀️

[@Trentz2]

12:40 Thanks Melissa for reminding this. I used to see launders in my hometown ( back in India) at my grandparents place do this during my childhood. Never realized its importance. But, most of the clothes never needed ironing and thanks to the sun, felt crisp and fresh.

[@susanvp4685]

Love Riley’s artwork! My husband does the dishes and I do the laundry 😊

[@cleanmyspace]

Thanks for the love on Riley's art! Your husband must be a pro at dish duty!

[@brendarose3941]

I love the extra rinse cycle on my he washer. And I also love how well my he machine spins my laundry. Practically dry. Actually neither. I would rather just do my own laundry and dishes. I’m kinda picky. As always nice to see you. Thanks for the video 😊

[@vickilindberg6336]

Always wash before wearing/using the first time. Thanks for some good ideas for what to look for when buying a new machine.

[@DonnaBMacK]

Hands down, dishes! Riley’s art work is adorable. Thanks for the tips.

[@cindyfarrow2768]

DEFINITELY dishes done for me please! Nice artwork! Cute cat!

[@b.t-q792]

Thanks for the socks tip.❤

[@PrairieDawnC]

Riley's art is awesome! I enjoy washing dishes, so someone doing my laundry is preferable to me, especially if they will PUT THE LAUNDRY AWAY.

[@carolskinner7411]

Thanks for the tips. I’m going to try the dryer sheet tip for our darks because I have 4 cats,the rinse additive and to utilize the quick wash.

[@Stephanie-rf9xs]

I ALWAYS wash new clothes before wearing! I will wash dishes and do laundry all day, but would love to assign drying dishes to someone else! Riley’s art work is stunning; I believe she will be 6 soon and I remember your sweet little one was unintentionally born at home!! Thanks for great information about using delay start on the washer!

[@barbaracarr17]

Thanks for sharing Riley's art with us!

[@elizabethlangheim7214]

Great artwork! Definitely the dishes.

[@sage_forensics_2261]

Thanks for mentioning the use of a delicates bag for socks. This trick can also be used for other items if you happen to hang clothes to dry. It's ALWAYS easier to hang clothes after sorting like-with-like, so having this already done in a delicates bag saves a lot of time later--think small items like socks, underwear, washcloths, even hand towels. The idea is to SORT before you wash. If you sort as you add to the dirty laundry, then it's already done. It may seem like an odd trick at first, but I never have to look for small items in the wash. It's great!

[@Goldenwoodz]

I can say that I knew all of this! Definitely love doing the laundry, but also like to do dishes even more cause I have a dishwasher. My two favorite chores actually.

[@margaretnugent9872]

Thanks for the pet hair advice. I will definitely try this. All the tips were great. Love the picture ❤.I would definitely like the dishes done 😊

[@sandyle8169]

Thank you for your content and channel! My parents never taught me anything regarding house chores, growing up.

[@amybosse5164]

Beautiful artwork! And I would choose dishes. But if really given a choice of household chores I would say dusting. Hate dusting, lol

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

I would much rather do laundry than dishes! I often use the delay on my washing machine. And love the steam setting on the dryer. Thanks for the tips!

[@rachelhayes6246]

Love Riley`s picture. Laundry definitely.

[@ericanh5711]

I wash all new clothes before wearing, as well as linens, towels/washcloths, bedding before using 😉 At this point in my life..I have highly considered sending laundry out …but what I really need is a full time weekly housekeeper…I need help all the time…lol. 😂😂

[@lorraineyoung5909]

Choice of dishes or laundry - laundry. My dishwasher does most of the dishes. But laundry or dusting - dusting. And Riley is quite the artist.

[@valeried2941]

What a super video! Laundry is not a pleasant job in my opinion BUT the satisfaction of viewing the empty wash basket means everything!

[@reginaschnell5428]

Riley’s artwork is beautiful! ❤

[@ASmith-hb4ed]

This video was so good and so enjoyable! Love this!!

[@DiamondButterfly921]

Riley’s artwork is beautiful. I prefer to have someone do the dishes.😊

[@christywatts3855]

I will do the laundry and do the dishes. I hate dusting. 😂😂

[@louisespry5575]

I love Riley’s artwork!

[@willowsverge3046]

I love the photo bombing cat around 11:00. So cute! 😊

[@Vickigonz1]

Riley's Art - definitely someone doing the dishes.

[@kryssygee4814]

Great info!!! Riley is an cool artist!! I’d rather have someone do the floors!!! 😅 My rapid wash is 37 minutes! Booo! 💡To dewrinkle i spritz the piece lightly with water and dry it for 10 min. It works! 😊

[@tequilabarber9810]

I love Riley art! Definitely want someone to do my laundry.

[@lisamanetta9567]

I have a large laundry room with a glass pocket door. Above the door I have a ledge shelf with my 3 kids art projects of trinkets (not paper). They are now 27 (married), 25 (doing residency in city), and 19 (away at school). Lol. I guess they’ll slowly be replaced with my future grandchildren’s artwork.

[@dawndesrosiers3850]

I love Rielys art!!!😊

[@maureenharrah931]

RIley's GREAT artwork!!!!

[@docwhoshops]

Love doing the dishes. I go to my friends houses and do the dishes. I have no idea why I enjoy it so much. I like the smell of clean clothes, but I absolutely hate having to put them all away.

[@mariar.1006]

Thank you very much for this video and the pet hair tip. That’s great! Could you please put the link for the rinse. Thanks from Germany.

[@mgee8545]

Love the artwork! I also have a question. In using dryer balls how do you keep them from getting hung-up in fitted sheets etc? Very annoying for me. The two housekeeping jobs I put off doing is putting away laundry and dishes. I finally realized that this was because at that point they were actually clean so not high on my priority list. I'm an ace procrastinator.

[@shannasnyder6636]

I would rather have someone do my laundry. Riley’s artwork is lovely!

[@FallnAngel07]

I want to launder before I wear it. Thanks for telling me about the quick wash function

[@robynwilliams460]

Love the artwork!

[@cleanmyspace]

Glad you enjoy it! I promise I didn't draw it myself ;)

[@alicejhanson86]

I have used extra spin cycle for years as my dryer is not terribly efficient because of an extra long dryer vent.

[@richoneplanet7561]

I do use the extra spin cycle for comforters etc, yes - wish I had a timer on the washer to soak for a bit but I can set a timer ⏲️ wow dryer balls decreases static? Oh I am gonna look for them! I started the periodic vinegar solution for my t-shirts - thank you for the sweat on t-shirts advice 👍🏼oh geez love the missing sock solution - I suffer through both dishes and laundry with equal non-existent enthusiasm 😂 I like clean 👍🏼

[@zenone7575]

love riley’s artwork 🖼️

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Tip from the guy who cleans out my lint trap and hoses once/yr (worth $100!): Wash the lint trap once a month with soap and water, especially if you use dryer sheets, which contain animal fat. Along with removing lint after every load, this step keeps your lint trap working better. If you have anyone who doesn’t get why the lint trap needs to be cleaned of lint after each load, go to a door or window that has a screen. This works especially well on a windy day. Have them place their hand in front of the closed window. No air should come through (if air is coming thru, that’s a whole other problem). Then expose the screen and do the same thing. An unclean trap is like the window is closed. Nothing gets through.

[@nafisajaghuri51]

I don’t wash my new clothes before unless I felt suspicious 🤨 I love the are piece. Thank you for your great/ insightful videos 🙌🩵

[@homesteading9594]

Thanks for all your great videos! Question: Is it okay to put vinegar in the fabric softener cup of my front load machine? I don't use fabric softener at all. My choice? Have someone else was my dishes. I hate it as my fingers become cracked and sore, despite using hand lotion.

[@lynnenicholson6968]

I’m in the UK and since I became medically blind both laundry and washing up became a bit hit and miss… so I automatically add stain remover to my whites (underwear), all my trousers/ T-shirts are the same types of fabric/ colours (trousers are all dark colours, T-shirts are medium depth colour and since sighted people can’t see me coming I’m replacing older T-shirts (mostly green) with bright colours (bright orange/ pink)- though how they can’t see a white cane that’s almost as tall as I 🤷‍♀️… and I bought a small “table top” dishwasher to stop finding I’d missed a bit when I’d washed up. Bonus being washing up is almost fun now- and matching outfits is a lot easier because any T-shirt an trousers combination works. And I can remain independent

[@yanammm]

I looove the socks hack!!!

[@Angelina-R]

I would prefer to have someone do the dishes as I don't own a dishwasher! I don't mind doing laundry! Love Riley's artwork!

Definitely was before wearing. I have been using vinegar in the wash soap compartment for stinky clothes. Should I be putting it in the fabric softener compartment?

[@debbieash4701]

Riley, Nice job on your art work! I wish I could create such things--Truly. I would rather have someone do my dishes. Melissa: Thanks for all you do :)

[@LittleGirlLost]

Having someone do the dishes for sure!! Ive seen Riley’s artwork!

[@MelindaLee]

I always, always, always wash new clothes before putting them on my body. I've read/seen some horrid stories of people getting bacterial infections on their skin that were hard to treat/cure. And yes, dishes, do my dishes...do ALL the dishes for me, every day, thankyouverymuch.

[@amydunn4404]

Nice job Riley! Dishes!!!

[@nancyc7629]

I love to do laundry

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

I have 15min wash too, great for my boys trainers and light sports wear and does quick spin

[@debbieanne860]

I always wash new clothes before wearing them. Thanks for all the great hacks. I cannot find your favorite fabric rinse. Can you provide that please?

[@debbies6192]

Riley's (I apologize for the spelling.) Picture is nicely done. I thought I remembered a rainbow picture in the background earlier too. Maybe I watch too much youtube. 😂 Thank you for the laundry tips. I definitely need to double spin my clothes/towels. Our machine is very old and in need of replacing but we are squeezing all the life we can out of it. 😂😂

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Great video, lots of useful tips. I tried dryer balls. They kept escaping and rolling around the basement floor when I took clothes from the dryer. My solution? I keep clean dry bath towels above the dryer. I throw one in with each load. They move the clothes around, and decrease drying time, like the balls, but I don’t have to play Where’s Waldo when the dryer’s done.

[@margaretgarls153]

Great ideas!

[@P.willow]

I love all housework 😂i just like to clean so id rather do iit myself as i find it relaxes me.

[@PullupaPugh-mo1is]

That picture by Riley is fantastic. You should have it blown up onto a canvas and have it pride of place above your fireplace 👏

[@johannemercier1440]

I saw Riley's artwork, i like doing laundry and dishes now that i'm older, i find doing either relaxing.😅

[@sueberger1434]

I always wash clothing before I wear it. Taught my kids to do it too.

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

I go with quick wash every time on 30°. Dishwasher quick and shine 60° Beko, my washing machine PowerPoint saves energy 🎉🎉

[@marcigitler3187]

Thanks for the tips!! I actually don’t mind washing dishes. Yes, if there are lots of cookware it can get tiring, otherwise it’s almost therapeutic. Sorry! Lol

[@debbymccormack6525]

I saw Little Bob Rosses artwork! Lol. Very talented ❤

[@karenkeith4606]

Absolutely would rather have someone do my dishes. Also, Riley looks to be a budding artist!
