What I Learned This Week


Because I felt overran with laundry I packed a bit too much into the washer and boy was that a bad idea. It shut itself off and would not run the reason: the washer was overloaded


In order to make sure this does not happen (something that I all ready knew but relearned) I learned to pile clothes loosely. Stuffing clothes into the washer not only does not allow them to get clean but may overload the washer (which it did)

What did you learn or in my case relearn?

  1. Oh, I remember having to deal with that very thing when my girls were learning to do their own laundry. It's funny how we always seem to forget what we already know LOL Thanks for taking a peek at my blog. It's nice "meeting" you.

  2. I think this is a lesson I need to teach my Tween when she starts doing laundry! I can see it now ... soap suds chasing me down the hallway screaming "TWEEEEEEEN! DON'T OVER LOOOOOOAD" LOL

  3. My washer is designed to hole really large loads, but it still can be overloaded. I can tell because it makes very funny noises on the spin cycle. I don't like funny noises from my washer!

  8. HUNH. Good to know. I haven't had that happen yet, but then my husband always tells me I should stuff it fuller. Now I have proof I'm doing it right! ;-)
