DID YOU KNOW????
HGTV Magazine, February/March Issue
(My new favorite magazine - love it soooo much)

DID YOU KNOW . . .
  That you should clean the inside of your washing machine?  If your machine has an odor, they suggest to fill it to capacity with hot water, then add a gallon of plain white vinegar and run a normal cycle. 

  (My wonderful new Samsung Front Loading Washing Machine has a cycle specifically for this task.) 

DID YOU KNOW . . .
  You can put the lint screen from the dryer in the dishwasher?  If you want to give it a thorough cleaning, this will do the trick.  Wash it on the top rack every three months or so suggests Fred Holzhauer, Green Chef at Method. 

DID YOU KNOW . . .
  Using too much detergent can actually make your clothes dirtier?  (I didn't)  Overdosing creates excess suds, which results in residue on clothes that attracts dirt and odors.  Trust the fill lines and pay attention to load size. 

DID YOU KNOW . . .
  That if you notice a lot of lint (more than usual) that it's a signal to calm down on the bleach, the hot water, or both.  Fred Holzhauer, Method
