Wash Dry Fold Raleigh NC: 5-Minute Fix Laundry Fix!

Thankfully there’s a trick that will quickly fix this laundry mishap! In fact, the fix is as quick as 5 minutes!
According to redbook.com, “First, rewash the towels on the longest setting and at the hottest possible temperature using your regular detergent plus a detergent booster. At the rinse cycle, you can add one ounce of white distilled vinegar to attack the mold and mildew (without harming the fabric). Then throw the towels into the dryer with a fabric-softener sheet and dry them completely — or the smell will come back the next time they get a little damp. If your washing machine still has a funky smell, run an empty cycle on the hot-water setting and add three-quarters of a cup of chlorine bleach to disinfect the washer and kill any leftover bacteria that’s hanging around.”
Quick enough fix, right?! An all-natural cleaning agent that made an appearance in our last post, vinegar, helps save the day again!
Another fantastic trick that fixes laundry mishaps deals with those unwanted wrinkles in our clothing! Have you ever been in a rush to go somewhere and realized that the favorite pants or shirt you want to wear is wrinkled?
The quick solution is simple. According to keenonhealth.com, “Buy a small empty spray bottle at your local discount store. Fill the bottle with tap water and add a couple of drops of fabric softener to the spray bottle. Don’t go overboard, just a couple of drops. Always shake the bottle before spraying. Lightly mist the wrinkled clothing from top to bottom. Do not soak it, just spray lightly.”
Once the clothing has been lightly sprayed shake it out with a bit of force to help the wrinkles relax. Are your clothes still wrinkled? For a second 5 minute fix, take the clothing that’s been sprayed with the homemade wrinkle release and stick in the dryer for 5 minutes.
