At our house (not naming any guilty boys here..tsk tsk.) 🙂 there are times when damp towels get tossed into our laundry basket. I have a hamper in the hallway just for collecting towels…and the whole basket ends up smelling musty when this happens. Anyway, I keep a good supply of vinegar on hand. In fact, vinegar is quite handy for so many things! To freshen up your musty towels, just wash them in hot water with one or two cups of vinegar (how much vinegar you will need depends on the size of the load, of course). Then, do a regular wash as normal. This really does the trick…

Too avoid such an embarrassment, I at least try to keep our living room area void of junk and presentable as possible. My biggest problem seems to be the constant battle of dust since we have older windows and a gravel road to the south side…

Six Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid – And Cleaning Tips to Make Your Job Easier
This week leads to a new phase in my life… This coming Saturday my youngest will turn 13 years old. I’ll officially have “all teens” at home. I’m excited! (And scared). My youngest has already been eating almost as much as his brothers for a couple of years now. So not much new there. Raising all boys, I’d say that cleaning is a never ending battle.
