On Ask a Clean Person: Laundry School Is In Session!
@Ophelia THANK YOU! I use liquid and have been waiting for the wash cycle, so now at least I know I'm not standing around like a dope in the laundromat for no reason.

On Ask a Clean Person: Laundry School Is In Session!
Those laundry instructions are very helpful, EXCEPT they did not address the Great Mystery of My Life. I swear, I have tried to research this question on the internets and have not had much luck. SO, for the front-loading machines at a laundromat, can I put detergent in the wash compartment at the beginning (of the soak cycle) and walk away, or do I wait until the machine is officially on the wash cycle, as that's when water flows into that second compartment? And that is also when it tells me to "Add Bleachie."
And separately (ha), I normally separate but when I had to wash everything I own in a laundromat last summer due to a dreaded BB infestation, one red sock dyed a whole bunch of white things. Unfortunately, these things are still in a bag for when I get around to dealing with them, but I bought this RIT Color Remover from Amazon that I've heard might work. Does anyone have experience with that product? Have I just waited too long and now I'll have some very pastel pink clothes?

@Mrs. PotatoHead It's very easy to buy DE on Amazon.com, like I did after my bb problem last year. I dusted the shi*t out of my bedroom.

I use Chase, Zipcar, Viber (for free international texts -- it says calls, too, but I haven't tried that), Gmail and my GCalendar, and that's mostly it. I had some Weight Watcher tracker ones, but stopped using them too often. They're useful, though, when you're on plan!

@Blushing Flower@twitter I have this same problem, and yes, he'll say "Get off of my back!" when I do things like ask him to put away his dirty socks in the hamper. I mean, only sometimes, but why does it have to be seen as an attempt to change him or nag him, when in fact it's how adults should live? And how do I make this less of a tense subject since we're only newly co-habitating? Ugh it makes me so mad. And I am not skilled at "picking my battles" when it has to do with picking up clutter or other apartment rules.

On Friday Open Thread
@bangs So much to think about! Thanks all. I would be very clean to try and avoid the smell, and I'm reading about how to litter-train them, etc. We'll just see if fate, aka The Craigslist Lady, replies wants to give her to us. A cat is another good idea, I just thought a bunny seemed more interesting. Especially a goth bunny. But we shall see!

On Ask a Clean Person: Laundry School - Bras and Mildew and Taffy, Oh My!
@noReally So this doesn't hurt or discolor the clothes? I'm impressed. My boyfriend has some stinky work shirts that I'm desperate to de-stink.
