they will wear the clothes after shower twice n as well as they pjs too.. so i dun nid to wash too many clothes.. :evil:

Daughter has PE twice a week...so 3 blouses to iron and 2 pinafores.
Son cannot wear PE attire to school now that he is in S1, so mid-week have to iron once to last till Friday.
No matter how I pull his shirts straight from the washing machine, they still look crumpled.

Ya.. heng no more toddlers... if not sure pengz..

Lucky no more toddlers, or else have to cook porridge and mop floor everyday. No energy for another active kid.

How do u mummies wash the kids’ PE shirt? My dd1 is in track CCA and her white shirt is always so dirty that I have to scrub it before throwing it into the washing machine. And dirty socks too. I really hate the scrubbing part. Urgh!

I don't scrub...put in a cap of Kao wide bleach with my soap powder.
This bleach is for coloured and white clothes.

Does the dirt come out with Kao without scrub? If it does, I really need it!

If the PE shirt is dirty, then soak it first with a little wide bleach.

Use Revive Wrinkle Relaxer, simply spray on the clothes and tug it. It removes the wrinkles, reduce static. save time on ironing.

Uses the Sol-U-Mel to remove the stains first, then MelaPower Laundry Detergent for a thorough clean wash w/o bleaching, as bleaching is harmful in the long run to us as we wears the clothes.

A simple test to show the harmful effect is to put some hair (from the cleaning of the floor) into a container with the bleach. After a short while, you will notice the hair has dissolve totally in the bleach as it contains chemical that dissolves.

I wash dds n ds uniform n towel from CC every day too.. bedsheets n home towels will b washed every 2 weeks.. shld b more often.. but how to find space n time to hang? we typically use the rack to hang all the clothes to dry it.. muz find a better way to do it so that i can wash more clothes..


tis week super no mood to cook dinner.. cham..

Me too. Son's cc uniform and towels are changed everyday. I am not \"recycling\" them because I have a feeling that they could be left lying on the wet floor or worst, being stepped on. :sick:

One of the most hardworking/ well used item at home must be the washer! To my washer :udaman:
