Incredibly OT: How often do you wash your linens?
Comments (16)Well, this is a strange topic for any forum so why am I compelled to answer? Will I regret it? I change the sheets every Saturday when the family are home to help. When the kids were little, I told them that they needed a ticket to watch the Saturday morning cartoons. The ticket was their sheets and towels and laundry baskets. And the TV didn't go on til EVERYONE had brought their stuff downstairs. Lots of peer pressure going on but good habits were instilled, so I thought. They left my home with those good laundry habits. Pride goeth before a fall, however. I had the exact same experience as others have posted. Dropping our older son at college, weeping profusely, I made his dorm bed with the brand-new sheets I had so carefully chosen. Oh, the agony of parting. When we picked him up in May at the end of the school year, he informed me that not only had he never made his bed since I had in September, he had never washed the sheets even once.

Comments (54)I also really love the Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo, it's dirt cheap and doesn't harm my very delicate fine hair. I just stumbled upon it too. I had bought it for my husband and he didn't use it so I had this huge bottle and used it and was surprised at how well it did for my fine hair and plus, it doesn't make my scalp itch, that has become an issue for me. I also found a conditioner that I love, it's Martix Biolage, the detangling one. Finally, a conditioner that doesn't make my scalp itch AND actually takes the tangles out of my insanely tangle prone hair. I used to shampoo daily because I styled my hair every day. Now, I just put it in a ponytail and call it done. I wash my hair about every third day now. I'd be very afraid to put baking soda in my fragile hair...I'm sure it would destroy it. I once (ONE TIME) used Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile to wash my hair and it damaged it so badly that it had to grow out before it was normal again. UGH! I'm lucky that I have hair, don't get me wrong, but my hair is very weird! My scalp is also very oily...so I cannot go very long without washing. Three days is pushing it and I can only pull it off because I wear it in a ponytail. I also can't stand the smell of stinky hair...UGH! It gets stinky after a couple days. That's when I know it's time to wash!...See MoreDo you use various wash cycles?
Comments (19)Thanks all. On Labor Day I had ordered a new top load LG washer and matching dryer, but I didn't get the washer with the sanitary, delicate, perma press.... cycles. Since it wasn't delivered yet, I just now upgraded the washer for an extra $70 which has the mentioned cycles. I do have things that require special wash that I always did by hand or dry cleaning, but never used the "special" cycles in my Kenmore (which I hate, BTW) - my ignorance. So, I will make it an appoint to use those special cycles with this new one and I bet I'll see a difference in some of the fabrics....See MoreHow often do you wash your hair?
Comments (43)Odd facts, Historically the British and most Europeans never washed their hair-no kidding. John Evelyn the famous in his day writer and Gardner kept a diary and he mentioned starting to wash his hair as a new thing. His friend Samuel Pepys( the very famous diarist) made a note of it in his diary and was considering doing the same thing. Sam was a bit of a neat freak.. This was mid 1600's. Can you imagine never having washed your hair?...See MoreMizLizzie
