Post about Cleaning

This is a serious inquiry. So I used to be really dirty and messy in my pmo days. I would go to the extent, but due to keeping this short I won't. Just understand, VERY messy/unclean.

But I've gotten significantly better at cleaning and whatnot. But I do have a few questions. Y'all can roast me if you want, but answer the question as well.

Laundry:
-Do you all actually separate your clothes into colors (dark white & pastel) before washing? I have most dark clothing, especially w laundry bc my workout clothes are dark. I wash all my clothes together regardless of color.

-I wash my underwear/socks after I wear it once (sounds like common sense, but this was a change I made a while back due to nofap). I wash a t-shirt after every time worn, unless it's extremely neat and smells fine. I wash pants after a few times depending on how they look. So what about you? And also, what about bed sheets/bed covers/pillow covering?

-I use just regular laundry detergent, and 2 dryer sheets in the dryer. Is there anything to reduce damage to clothing?

Dishes:
-When you eat food in your living room, do you immediately take the plates and stuff to the kitchen? Bc I don't sometimes, sometimes it'll take a day or so for me to get around to it. Which leads me to...

-When you take dishes to the kitchen, do you immediately wash them/put them into the dishwasher or leave them in the sink for a while? I do the sink route all the time until it stacks up, it's annoying

 

Definitely not. I wash all my clothes together. With the exception of washing something, say, bright red with something white.

I was underwear and socks after every use. I pretty much only wear my work clothes (sweat pants and a tshirt) and pajamas most days. I wash my work pants and shirts after every use, generally, unless I need to wear them twice before laundry day and they don't smell too bad. I'm a housekeeper though, so I don't usually even see anybody at work, and I'm planning to get dirty anyway. So it doesnt really matter if my clothes look or smell perfect.

After work I change into my pajamas, which I pretty much wear all week until laundry day, because I don't really sweat or anything, so it's fine.

As far as other shirts and pants, I pretty much wash them when they smell or when my jeans start to look limp and such. I usually only wear clothes like that for a couple hours if I'm going out, so I don't usually have to wash them right away unless it was really hot out or something.

Mattress cover, maybe once a year or so. Sheets and pillow cases, I try to do maybe once a month or every other week, depending.

Washing in cold water is better, and clothes don't really need to be washed un warm water unless they're really gross and need to be sanitized or something.

I don't know a ton about detergents, but I'm sure some are better than others, and there is some speculation on weather or not dryer sheets and fabric softener is actually bad for your clothes.

Nope

That's probably the best way to do it, but no. I try to throw away whatever is left on the plate and then maybe put it in the sink and cover it with a bit of hot water, so when I get to cleaning dishes later nothing is stuck on and it's a lot faster. I have a pretty big sink though, which makes this easier.

 

Dont let the bed bugs bite tonight!
