Or do you wear it once then give it a wash?Do you wear your clothes more than once before giving it a wash?
I never wear anything except my pants, coats and bathrobe more than once before washing them.Do you wear your clothes more than once before giving it a wash?
All underwear and shirts are once and washed. Skirts are two or three times since they have less body contact. Jeans and trousers are tricky- depends how hot the weather is I guess ;-)
1] single use only - [ things you sweat on etc. ] some bras, panties, socks, most tops [ inner layers ], hospital uniforms
2] multiple use [ unless soiled obviously ] - some bras, jeans, pants, shorts, skirts, sweaters, hoodies, jackets, robes,
Washing clothes too often will make them wear faster.
I wear clothes untill they are dirty
that might be 1 day or 1 week or 1 month
Using your washing machine to wash clothes (that are essentially still clean) every day when they could easly have been worn again, is a waste of energy that I thought the world is running out of.
I bet if you all had to go down to a stream and rub your clothes up and down a wash board or bang them with a stone You would all want to wear them for a second day. But no lets just throw them in the machine its so easy.
But wait I know some people that don't. they take it all to the dry cleaners instead !!
They thought it was so good that I still bought washables and did it in my own machine !!!
I know you think I must smell, don't I care what others think?
Well no I don't care what you all think, I only care about the people sitting next to me and believe me they can't tell.
So I will continue to save energy where ever I can, that means dirty stuff only on a full load.
depends on the item.
anything that directly touches the skin (underwear, bra, camisole, socks, etc.) is a one-shot deal.
anything else is subject to interpretation. Jeans, I can wear those for up to a week, tee shirts, not so much - at the most, I wear the tee-shirt during the day then sleep in it and change into fresh things in the morning.
well i do it my way....if its jeans i wear it two times and then wash
if its a shirt/skirt/dress pants than i wash it after wearing it once.
I wear my jeans and jean shorts twice before I wash them, but everything else I wash after one time wearing them or else I just feel dirty from wearing them.
I'll wear jeans twice before washing them but otherwise, I only wear things once and then wash them. I don't feel clean if my clothes aren't.
I wear jeans twice. Everything else--just once.
usually i wash my pants and shirt after two times but i wash the shirt right away if it has a stain

What clothes can't be washed in regular laundry?
today I washed my new sweater in the laundry and it shrinked beyond believe, now it's ruined!What clothes can't be washed in regular laundry?
Sorry dude. Not every article of clothing can withstand the harsh/aggressive environment of a washing machine. Some fabrics are more delicate and need to be lovingly stroked with your hands. Plus sweaters shouldn't ever go in the dryer. Spread it out over a bed/chair and let it dry in it's natural form. What clothes can't be washed in regular laundry?
any item that says on the label hand wash only

Accidentally put my phone in the washing machine with my clothes....?
its a Sony Ericsson W810i.It still powers up after leaving it on the radiator all night but the screen is just blank or sometimes white.
Any advice on properly drying it out as the radiator has been tried and got the phone coming back on but not the display working 100%.
What chances its gone for good??Accidentally put my phone in the washing machine with my clothes....?
well you wont get any dirty calls nowAccidentally put my phone in the washing machine with my clothes....?
Hi
You will have to get a new phone as if phones get wet than they will not work as one of my friends had an operation on her arm as she fell and it was out of place so she had a cardigan on with the pocket on the front and it fell out into the toilet so she had to get it out and she took it to to a company who makes things which are broken and they said that it was really broken and they could not fix it so she has now bought a new phone.
okay omgg i had the samee problem :|
what i done is i kept my phone continuesly on the radiator for like 3days and it started working fine.
i carnt live widout my fone tho so i had to use a old one wid my sim.
nd also after that open it up and patt it dry :) inside near the battery etc. x
Ok dont turn it on or you could fry the circutry,get a sealed container then place some uncooked rice in the container with the device inside,seal the container and leave for afew days and check if ok.The rice draws all the moisture from the device without opening and is very effective. thankyou hope i helped
If you would have left it off for a few days and not put it on the heater you might have saved it.
An electronic device ONLY fries when wet if you turn it on.
FOR EVERYONE OUT THERE READING THIS:
JUST LEAVE IT SHUT OFF FOR A FEW DAYS IN A COOL, DRY PLACE AND IT WILL BE FINE!
The second you turn it on when moist or expose it to heat when you try to dry it out... It is gone.
I've been trying to tell people this for years but no one wants to listen... Sigh...
have you tried a hair dryer, what i would consider doing had it not been so long after being exposed to water would be to place it in a bowl of alcohol, then blow dry it, but most likely its gone
Well use cotton buds to dry off any excess wetness.
Take the phone just apart, and put it under a 40 Watt bulb for 24 hours.
If that still does not solve the problem - get a new one.
eeer
Whoops!
It's toast , go get a new one...
my dear get anew one

Portable Clothes Washer? Has anyone used a Haier portable washing machine? Does it work well?
I do not have an option for a washer with permanent fixtures in my apartment. It just can't be done. Is this portable one decent? Any problems?
Portable Clothes Washer? Has anyone used a Haier portable washing machine? Does it work well?
We had a Haier in our old apartment because the place was old and did not have a washer/dryer. I'm assuming this is the one you hook up to the sink? That's what we did anyways. We used it for about a year before moving. They WORK, but it wasn't fun. Some problems I had:
- Instructions were poor/confusing and had a difficult time understanding how the thing worked.
- Adapter wouldn't fit onto faucet, tried to contact Haier. Support was incredibly poor/unresponsive, had to go to Ace Hardware and purchase appropriate adapters after asking the people there.
- Water would sometimes leak from hoses due to adapters, the ';expelling'; hose fell off the sink once or twice and spilled dirty water all over the floor.
- Handles only a small load, making laundry take a lot longer than you're used to.
- Large/heavy items (blankets, comforters, coats, big pairs of jeans) won't work in the washer. They generate too much force when spinning and the washer shuts down or else gets stuck repeating the rinse cycle again and again until you abort the wash.
- No dryer means that you have to hang your clothes out to dry. This takes a lot longer than one would expect (we used a fan to help speed up the process) and makes your clothes kind of stiff.
We survived with it, but it was quite a hassle (it was our only option, and it IS cheaper than paying for a laundry service). We sold it to the new tenants who moved in after us. They had a cat. The cat chewed through one of the hoses though, so they couldn't use it anymore without a replacement hose. They eventually opted for a laundry service instead.
That was our experience. Be forewarned.Portable Clothes Washer? Has anyone used a Haier portable washing machine? Does it work well?
i have a set of ';apartment'; sized washer and dryer. they happen to be whirlpool, i am not familiar with the brand you mentioned. mine work great, they just do smaller loads. the washer hooks up to the kitchen sink (and drains into it) and the dryer is 110 so it plugs into any outlet.
my sister has an apartment and she has a ';real'; washer so sorry but im not sure if they work well or not.

How to wash baby clothes?
Hello ladies.
I'm almost 29 weeks preg
My mum already bought me loads of stuff for the baby..
I'm planning to start washing and putting away things.
Can you give me some tips..
I know that I must use non-bio washing and no more that 30deg.. Can I use softer? Which one?
Do I need to use some other products i.e. napisan?How to wash baby clothes?
Use Fairy Non Bio. They also do a fabric softener. Available from any supermarket. I used this will my daughter's clothes when she was a baby and not a single rash, itch or reaction to it. Very gentle.How to wash baby clothes?
I've always used any non-bio washing detergent and conditioner/softener.
Persil non-bio is good and so is fairy conditioner or comfort pure which are both recommended for washing baby clothes with. I've also tried supermarket own brands which are just as good and a lot cheaper.
There is no reason to add anything else to the laundry unless there is heavy soiling/staining which can sometimes be a pain to get out.
As for temperature, I've always washed clothes at 40c, higher temps may be needed if clothes are stained and can handle hotter temperatures.
Hope this helps a bit and congrats with the baby!
They have this baby detergent called dreft or something like that. It has no harsh chemicals or anything like that. You wont need softener for it and I wouldn't use it right now anyways because a new born baby's skin is very sensitive. It is a lil bit more expensive then regular detergent but moat moms feel more comfortable with it but if you compare it to plain tide it is almost exactly the same thing and it would cost you less which is a good thing because babies are very expensive. I used dreft at first then switched to tide very shortly after. Good luck and I hope this helped.
I use Dreft. I think it smells really good, and it's very gentle for babies skin....I also soak and prewash all his dirty clothes (especially his bibs and things with spit up and formula) in Oxyclean. It works fantasically for taking out the spit up/dribble stains, and keeps his whites white, and his colors nice and bright, after I wash everything in oxyclean I rewash everything in dreft so It doesn't irritate his skin. Hope this helped, congrats and good luck
Always use non-bio washing detergent for your baby's clothing. I found fabric softeners too harsh for my babies skin so used a capful of white vinegar instead - is a great fabric softener and leaves no residue or smell on the clothes - much cheaper than using fabric softener.
good luck with your baby
it should say on the tag of the clothes but what you have said there is Pretty much it for most baby clothes. I still use very soft stuff in to the washing machine try different things at first to which suits you and the baby. good luckcredit card offers

Would hot water (120 degrees), kill MRSA if you washed the clothes in the washer?
Clothing should be washed in 160 degree water using detergent and bleach then dried in high heat. But depending on what materials the blankets are made of, this may ruin them.
The likelihood of the baby blankets carrying MRSA can depend on the site of your mother's infection and MRSA can infect the nose (most common), respiratory tract, eye, ears, skin, wound beds, urine and blood. It also depends on the precautions she takes to prevent transmission to others. If you don't know the site of infection or how good her hand hygiene is, ask her.
MRSA can survive outside the body for up to 2 weeks depending on the surface it's on. You could when the blankets arrive just put on a pair of gloves and hang the blankets up somewhere for 2-3 weeks. You can wash them after that. But if you just can't stomach the idea of using them, be forthright and tell your mother your concerns. It may hurt her at first but better that than to deceive her into thinking you're actually using it. MRSA isn't THAT contagious.
And I suppose you could always ask her to buy some online and have them shipped to you.Would hot water (120 degrees), kill MRSA if you washed the clothes in the washer?
I would err on the safe side and say no and I assume you mean 120 degrees F. To thoroughly clean clothes that may contain traces MRSA, you should soak the clothes in alcohol. The local drug store should have rubbing alcohol you could buy.
You may need mutiple bottles to completely soak the article of clothing. After soaking them, I would put them through a normal wash cycle to get the alcohol off.
If you think you have come in contact with it you should wash yourself with disinfectant soap and may consider calling your doctor.
Good luck!Would hot water (120 degrees), kill MRSA if you washed the clothes in the washer?
i dont think 120 will suffice .Most your new front loaders have an internal water heater .. you need a sanatizer of some sort ..lysol has a concentrate ..kills 99.99 % of bacteria.bleach is a bit harsh . good luck sweety .
personally , i would put blankets in a plastic trash bag after being sprayed with aresol lysol , leave for a couple of days . then wash .
No- this is an extremely virulent strain. My guess would be that you'd have to wash the clothes in bleach.
Here is a link which I think will provide you with some valuable info:

MRSA can resist antibiotics so I think it can live through hot water. Its serious stuff.
