Here's a bonus tip for the laundry room: tired of buying laundry sheets?
Use the tip about using vinegar as your fabric softener and instead of fabric sheets in the dryer, take a ball of aluminum foil and throw it in the dryer- soft clothes and NO static cling!
Note about laundry soap ingredients: In my area Weis carries all of the ingredients, but I have also found them in other stores.
See ya next tip!
