When you buy new jeans, rinse them in 1 cup of white vinegar. This will keep them from fading.

You can wash a whole load of colored clothes with 1 cup of white vinegar. They won't run. No you won't smell like a pickle, trust me.

You can also wash sweaters in 1 cup of white vinegar. No fur balls.

you can presoak socks, undys and such in peroxide, u can get 2 bottles for a dollar so why not, right? I only use tide coldwater. I use the he for my shampooer. Soap also depends on ur skin, for me its cause i break out, what looks like scabies, but it is from soap, with alot of soaps. cheer, all, surf, im allergic to all that, and my kids are allergic to stuff with alt bleach, like xtra w/ bleach alt in it, they come home bumpy from my mothers house. on my front loader, perm press uses less energy then regular cycle. it also has a second rinse for any cycle i want. i would get a drying rack for the tub if all else fails, some rules with ur living situation are illegal and they cant enforce them. such as satellite, they cant deny you the use of that, otherwise cable would be an only choice and only choice is illegal in the usa. thats why there are so many phone companys now. they pay rent to at&t, its thier own service, but u need repair, its the main company in your area that fixes.like for me, swb does repairs, but im using a telfamily set up. I would think thier concern prolly falls under blight, and u can read ur areas blight ordinances to be sure exactly what they can tell u what u cant do legally. the point im trying to make, is just that dont accept their bottom line as law, check with your commerces and such, if u cant save money from thier demands, seems fair to me that they should reimburse the difference to your costs. just like jobs that require certain clothing, if you have to buy it, they have to reimburse you. my hubby pays 6 dollars a week for his clothes at work, they clean em and thats a good thing, cause i use softener and u cant use it on clothes for his type job, its a fire hazard. he welds pieces on barges, it goes in your boot and u could lite right up.

More Laundry tips.

Lighten Your Laundry Load

Make sure your children know to, put their own clothes in the hamper when they're dirty. You might also suggest that they hang up, their clothes after the first wear.
Teach them to examine the items for stains or odors.

Instead of using one big hamper, give each family member their own basket, tied with a ribbon color of their choice. They are responsible for their own basket.

Have a stain stick near the hamper area so that family members, can treat their own clothes before placing them into the appropriate bin.

Be sure to read the care label before purchasing clothing for your family, to make sure that the items are machine washable.

Sizing spray is used on synthetic fabrics, while spray starch is used on natural fabrics. Spraying while ironing will help the clothes, resist stains and make cleaning much easier.

Use lingerie bags for each family member's socks. That way they are kept all together and you don't have to sort later. Make sure to keep the lights and darks separate.

If you only have a few items to dry, throw in a large dry towel to absorb some of the moisture. The clothes will dry faster. Make sure it's a white towel or one that has been laundered many times, or the color from the towel could leak onto your clothes.

A general rule is to always launder in cold water using a minimal amount of detergent.

To make sure each load is dry at the same time, wash and dry items of similar weight together.
