We moved office in 2018 and 2020, so a lot of old stuff got dumped then! And we've gone largely digital since then, thankfully. We could probably do with a digital cleanout, but no-one wants to face that.

Digital documents dont occupy as much space as physical or hard-copies.
Even the hard-copies, we hv to shred before dumping.
Hence if we can avoid dumping, we will avoid due to the extra chore.

Shredding was a nightmare - we had a fairly old, low capacity shredder, and it kept overheating. So we had to allow it to rest every so often. We remind people not to accumulate stuff but shred more frequently, but not sure if anyone is listening. Anyway, they shouldn't be moving again for many years, and I won't be overseeing the move by then!

Do you use fabric softener?

Yes. I don't know if it actually softens anything, but the fragrance helps with towels and sweaty clothes. We soak the sweaty clothes before washing, but they still smell not so nice if I don't put softener. I don't use heated water.

I don’t as I am very sensitive to artificial fragrances.

I’ve never used it leh. My fragrance comes from the anti-bacterial or sports version of my laundry detergent.

Past few years i’ve been using these Tide Pods, fragrance is good:

It's not essential for daily clothing that isn't sweaty, especially if you use laundry detergent that already contains fragrance. But since I use a low-end detergent, and my loads tend to include sports clothing (even though soaked) and towels, I use the softener for the fragrance. I think if the clothes are sunned, you may not need the fragrance, but my clothes are hung indoors.

I've also considered cost - using higher-end detergents that have fragrances or odour-removing ingredients will cost more overall than what I'm doing now.

I wonder - what if the fragrances clash? Like wearing 2 different perfumes together?
