Why Warm Washes Are a Laundry Fail

Did you know washing your clothes in warm water is basically pointless? According to Dr. Xand van Tulleken, hot (60°C/140°F) kills germs, cold (20°C/68°F) saves cash, but warm is just a waste. He says, 'It’s too hot to be cheap, too cold to kill bugs.' Pro tip: use hot for sick days or sweaty gym gear, cold for everything else. Oh, and don’t overload your machine or drown your clothes in detergent—your washer (and wallet) will thank you! #Beauty #LaundryHacks #HomeTips

Banish Yellow Stains for Good!

White shirts looking a little... not-so-white? Those stubborn yellow stains from sweat, deodorant, or sunscreen don’t stand a chance with this hack: Mix baking soda and water into a paste, brush it on the stains, and let it sit—overnight for the tough ones! Then just toss it in the wash. For sun cream marks, soak in hot water with detergent or white vinegar first. Repeat if needed, and your clothes will look fresh again! #LaundryHacks #StainRemoval #CleaningTips #Beauty

Hand-Wash to Survive: My Broke Laundry Plan

Laundry has become my nemesis lately. As a broke college student in a humid, swampy city, I’m stuck between overpriced laundromats and the sketchy washers in my apartment complex that look like they’ve eaten socks and souls. I’m considering a DIY fix: hand-washing my clothes in the tub and just paying to dry them. Hanging clothes to dry is a no-go—humidity here turns everything into a damp, mildewy mess. I’m not trying to go full pioneer, but has anyone else gone this route? Like, do you have tips on getting your clothes actually clean without feeling like you're punching a wet towel for 30 minutes? And is this actually cheaper long term, or just a hassle in disguise? Would love to hear from anyone who’s done this or found other hacks to make laundry less painful when your budget is mostly ramen and tuition. #LaundryHacks #CollegeStruggles #BrokeLife #Adulting101 #HandWashTips #LaundromatLife #DIYLaundry #BudgetLiving #HumidHell #CleanOnABudget

Fabric softener? i don't know her anymore

Remember when we all thought fabric softener was ESSENTIAL? Fast forward to today – three years fabric-softener-free and my clothes have zero complaints. Turns out, we've been in a toxic relationship with unnecessary laundry products! My wallet is fatter, my conscience is cleaner, and my towels are still...towelly. Big Laundry, you can't fool me anymore! #LaundryHacks #SustainableLiving #SaveMoney

Tips for making your home smell amazing 🫶

I had to stop by my favorite place for home essentials today. I love buff city soap because they have so many wonderful things to choose for home + body care. Narcissist is my top fragrance from Buff City Soap and I had to pick it up in there candle. They also gave me samples of their laundry soap and epsom salt soak! I also got their sugar scrub because it’s getting warmer and I need to exfoliate before summer. Their foaming hand soap is a staple for my guest bathroom and I picked that up in the Narcissist fragrance. I got the scent boosters in that signature scent as well. Even though it’s a small container you don’t need much because it’s very fragrant for laundry. I’ve been using fresh cotton for my laundry needs and I’m excited to use Narcissist this go around! I use the baking soda in fresh cotton to go in my loads of towels it helps them stay softer longer and have a cleaner feel while eliminating odors. I use there dryer balls to help dry my laundry quicker it saves me money when it comes to dryer sheets because I no longer need to buy them. I just take my dryer balls up to buff city to get re scented whenever they loose their fragrance! Cost me less in the long run. If you don’t have a Buff City near you they have a website you can order from! I highly recommend them for home needs. Just keep in mind if you have allergies to fragrance this might not be for you. #home #buffcitysoap #hometips #homehacks #laundry #laundryroom #hometips #homehacks#laundryhacks

Stop Tossing Your Laundry Cap In!

Turns out that viral laundry hack—throwing your detergent cap in the wash—is a big nope, even if the label says it’s fine. Experts say modern washers don’t use enough water to rinse the cap clean, so it can get stuck, crack, or leave plastic bits in your clothes. Instead, just rinse the cap in the sink. It’s a tiny extra step, but your washer (and your wardrobe) will thank you! #LaundryHacks #CleaningTips #HomeCare #MythBusted #Health
