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

Budget Renter Hacks

These are some budget rental hacks that you can do. Painting your walls will make a big difference in your room and you don't have to paint all of the walls you could do an ascent wall. I painted my room just these two walls and the rest I left it white. If you cant afford to get a new couch, I will recommend using sofa covers. This will help for you to change the color of your couch and to make it look newer. Change your lightbulbs to Smart lightbulbs, this will help for you to have ambient lighting and it will make your home feel more cozy. #hometips #apartmentdecor #budgethacks

MY DRYER WASN’T WORKING… HERE’S WHY!

Hey zesties! This post is for all homeowners/ potential homeowners because I was today years old when I realised we need to clean our dryer vent!!! Our clothes in the dryer has not been completely dry despite drying for 2.5 hours (2 sessions) and we were very perplexed. We sought google for advice and realised that we were supposed to clean the dryer’s vent. We have not cleaned it for 2 months and hence the accumulated dust. So yes don’t be like us LOL pls take out the vent from the dryer, open and clean out all the lint and dust! Hope this post was useful for you guys! Love, Des #Postin3 #Adulting101 #adulting #AdultingWoes #homeliving #homeowner #adultingdiaries #lemon8hometips #hometips
