Laundry Rules I Always Break

Here are some laundry rules I always break:

- every load goes on the same settings "normal" or "quick dry"

- I only separate whites and darks (not colors)

- sweaters are the only thing I air dry

- towels don't get their own load

- neither does bedding!

Have I shrunk things once or twice? Yes. Will I change? No. I'm all about conscience! If things can't go in with everything else, then I don't want it!

What rules do you break?

Laundry Rules I Break..and my clothes are fine🧺

Last week, our washing machine broke, and I got to thinking.. I used to be so stressed about doing laundry right… separating every load, using 5 different products, washing things that didn’t even seem dirty. And then I realized… most of those rules? Just habits we inherited or ads we saw. Now I

Laundry Rules I break and still get good results 🤭

My approach to laundry? Let's just say it's a rule-breaking game that somehow, against all odds, yields surprisingly decent results. First off, the dryer: it's a free-for-all. Shirts, pants, socks, towels – they go in all together. The only exception to this will be my bras they get s
