Fantastic declutter motivation video 😇 When I've seen you tackling the recycle mountain I was hoping you'll also have trash to toss as well as it's even more satisfying to watch as it's more random items than just carboard and it's also often much harder to declutter as I feel more bad throwing things away than recycling or giving away things. So I was happy that you've had a full bag to fill too 😁

I know for me running my dishwasher every night and unloading it first thing in the am helps. Everything as your cooking after meals goes directly in it. No dishes in sink. Also keeping a hamper that ALL laundry goes in and doing 1 load a day even if its just 2 outfits and a towl wash it! Getting on a routine is the hardest part.

I do that also. I keep Tide liquid soap for the small loads, and it doesn't fade your clothes. I keep the Tide pods with oxy for all the regular full loads. Even if you just wash sheets or a blanket your keeping everything fresh. Especially if you have 2 American Eskimo hairy dogs who sleep in your bed and cuddle on the couch. 🐶

I don’t have a dishwasher,but I’ve heard that the dishes need to a little bit on them(definitely rinsed well though) for the detergent to do its job. Is that really a thing? (When I took care of my parents and we shared a duplex, I always washed all of my yard sale finds in their dishwasher because I figured between the HOT water and the bleach in the detergent,the items were getting more sterilized than I could do by hand,I never would have thought that I needed to scrub each piece like you are doing.) Have you ever tried to just rinse and let it do its thing and check the results? They say that the detergents have come a long way.🤷🏼‍♀️(just a thought)🥰
@feraltradwife
@feraltradwife 2 ай бұрын
I have considered it. I just really can’t seem to move past the idea that they aren’t clean. Maybe if I was better at rinsing immediately I totally would be able to, but these dishes have been sitting anywhere from 1-4 days. I have been trying to get all of us to rinse as we use but it’s such a hard thing for me to actually actually do. I can’t explain it. I know better but I just fine seem to DO better. You know?
