If you have kids or pets, the answer is probably yes. I know I do quite a few loads over the course of a week. Since laundry involves a lot of electricity, water and detergent, I\u2019ve been looking into thrifty laundry tips. There are a lot of really complicated things you can do, but people with kids and pets often don\u2019t have time for complicated. I was only interested in tips that seemed pretty easy to do. Here are my favorite:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/files\/2010\/01\/borax.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;margin-left: 0px;border-left: 0px;margin-right: 0px;border-bottom: 0px\" height=\"134\" alt=\"borax\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/files\/2010\/01\/borax_thumb.jpg\" width=\"134\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t use the heat setting to dry jeans, rugs, or big towels. I actually put down a piece of linoleum and put a drying rack on it to dry my jeans and rugs.

Before that, I was sometimes running the dryer for an hour to get the jeans dry.<\/li>\n<li>Cut dryer sheets and dye catcher sheets in half. I have had no problems doing this and it is nice to have a box last twice as long as it used to.<\/li>\n<li>Use Borax to make laundry detergent more effective if you have hard water. I\u2019ve noticed clothing seems to be holding up better, too, after adding a bit to every load, so I think it is worth the added expense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What is your favorite thrifty laundry tip?<\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dial-00368-76OZ-Mule-Borax\/dp\/B000RNBX0G\/ref=pd_sim_k_4\">amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/thrifty-laundry-tips\/\">Thrifty Laundry Tips<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you do a lot of laundry?
