Oooh! I never thought to do that with sheets! I am going to try that with some scratchy ones that have never really softened up for me.

Sometimes if my shirts are extra smelly I mix a couple of drops of Tea Tree oil in with my detergent. That really helps kill the funk. I also double-rinse stinky things because sometimes detergent reacts with the stinky bacteria to make a new, even stinker stink. (especially with towels and sheets that have been

HIIII!!!! Were your ears burning?

Those two won the internet today.

That is worse than the picture of a man wearing leggings sans underwear a friend posted on FB last week.
