If you own a front-loading washing machine and haven't cleaned it in the past year, DO IT TODAY! You will not believe how clean your clothes will be AND you will not believe how gross they used to be and you didn't even know it.
I was guilty of using too much laundry detergent because I thought it made my filthy (lots of boys) clothes cleaner. I have since found out it does the opposite because it ends up leaving a dirty residue on everything.
Go buy one of those specially-made-for-cleaning-a-washing-machine packs. Follow the directions. I had to do it twice because of all the gunked-up Tide in my washer. Then wash some clothes using the PRECISE amount of detergent required. I promise you, those clothes will immediately seem cleaner to you. #cleanclothes
