Doing Laundry

I am sure everyone loves doing laundry especially if you are college student. I remember when I try to procrastinate to do my laundry until Irun out of clothes. Doing laundry is never a decent experience. Trying to carry the whole wardrobe in a laundry basket to the Laundromat was quite painful. Well here is the thing; I used to bring a small plastic bottle to carry the exact amount of liquid detergent I need so I don't have to put extra weight on myself. However, I think there is something in the market now that can provide the same benefits, and also saving the environment.

Recently I have tried the Tide Coldwater, a liquid detergent designed to be energy and money saving. Based on the website from Tide, the detergent is designed to remove stains effectively in cold water, even for whites clothes. Because cold water is used, therefore, lowering the heating bills and save energy. In addition to the Coldwater product line, there is an additional product called the Tide Coldwater Ultra. This is a concentrated form. Therefore, the packaging bottle is smaller and easier to carry. Not only this detergent can save our energy by using cold water, we can decrease the materials needed to make the bottle. We can save space in our landfill! Isn't this great?

Talking about doing laundry, there are many efficient ways to do laundry. This is what I learned from my mom. I guessed she is right in these things.

• Do laundry only when needed.
• Heavily soiled clothes can be separated from light soiled clothes. Presoak heavily soiled garments to avoid using multiple washing cycles.
• Make sure the dryer is clear of lint accumulation. This can prevent the dust from catching on fire and increase the efficiency of the dryer.

Now this will keep me motivated to do my laundry. With the newest detergent, I have all the reasons in the world to procrastinate in doing my laundry!
