Here are 19 rules for doing your laundry better
H
By Mari-Jane Williams
The Washington Post
omemakers in the 19th century had to devote most of a day to washing clothes each week: hauling and heating water, scrubbing the clothes against a board, then hauling more water in to rinse them before wringing them out and hanging them to dry.
Thanks to the advent of modern electric laundry appliances in the 1920s and their steady evolution since, you can easily toss a load of wash into the machine before or after work or between errands, then walk away. That doesn’t mean, though, that you don’t have to put some thought into the process. Consider this a playbook to help you do the job right with minimal effort required. Pick the right machine for your lifestyle In the battle between top loaders and front loaders, which laundry workhorse emerges victorious? It largely depends on your lifestyle and priorities. Front loaders use less water and are gentler on fabrics but are prone to odors, particularly from mold and mildew growing around the door gasket. Top loaders are superstars at deep cleaning and tend to have a longer lifespan. They can be tough on your clothes, though, fraying towel edges and stretching out elastic.
Sort your laundry — but not by color The once cardinal rule of separating darks from whites before washing them has flown the coop. That is in part, experts say, because newer, synthetic materials are less likely to bleed than the natural fibers that made up most of our clothes in the past. A move toward washing most things in cold water also helps keep the colors from running. But that doesn’t mean you can just throw everything into one load and expect great results. You probably still want to sort items by care requirements (hello, delicates) or temperature needs (stinky towels, for example). Choose your detergent … There’s a dizzying array of options here. People with sensitive skin or allergies may gravitate toward dye- and perfume-free detergents. Exercise fiends might prefer something strong that will chase the stink out of sweaty workout clothes. And for people who can’t be bothered to measure, there are pods that you can just toss into the machine. And beware: Even “eco-friendly” detergent sheets may contain plastic (though the type of plastic has been deemed safe by the Environmental Protection Agency). … and use it sparingly If you’re following the directions on the label, you might be using too much soap. Laundry expert Patric Richardson says one to three tablespoons is plenty for most loads. Or you may not need detergent at all.

Warm up to cold water You don’t need to use hot water to get your clothes — or even your linens — clean. Switching to warm will help conserve energy. Going with cold water will yield even bigger savings. The exception: If someone in the house has been sick, deploy

the hot water to kill germs. Attack grease stains aggressively Yes, those troublesome splatter marks from salad dressings, pasta sauces, marinades and burgers are particularly stubborn. That’s because oil and grease don’t dissolve in water. You need to add a special product to loosen the grease and keep it away from the fabric so it can be washed off. That’s where surfactants — a key ingredient in soaps and detergents — come in.
Wash your clothes less Washing your clothes causes significant wear and tear. Marsha LeBoeuf, the former costume director for the Washington National Opera says you can preserve jeans, sweaters and more by simply washing them less.
Keep your machine from creating stains If your laundry is coming out of the machine with new stains, whether they’re pink streaks, brown splotches or black spots, it could be (ADOBE STOCK IMAGE) a detergent or bleach issue, a sign that your washer is dirty or there is a high mineral content in your water. Learn how to hand wash your sweaters Not comfortable putting a beloved sweater in your machine? You can steal a page from those 19th-century homemakers and hand wash it. All you need is room-temperature water in a bucket or sink and enzyme-free detergent (or a quality shampoo for cashmere or wool).
(ADOBE STOCK IMAGE)
Know how to read care tags Those little symbols on care tags might look like indecipherable hieroglyphics, but they contain important information to help you care for your clothes properly. Some of them, like the washtub, are fairly self-explanatory. But others — that triangle, for example — are more cryptic. Guides are available online.
Pause before reaching for the bleach … Chlorine bleach will whiten fabrics, but it can also break down fibers, harm the environment and irritate sensitive skin. Go for oxygen bleach instead or a detergent enhanced with optical brighteners. … and the fabric softener Aficionados say that fabric softener makes clothes feel soft, smell good, and reduces wrinkles and static cling.

When using wood waste, keep it simple
P
EOPLE ARE FUNNY. Take, for instance, a fellow gardener who, a couple of months ago, shared with me her excitement about a biochar workshop she had attended. “I can’t wait to get back into my garden and start making and using biochar,” she said. Biochar, one of gardening’s relatively new wunderkinds, is what remains after you burn wood with insufficient air. It’s charcoal. Stirred into the soil, its myriad nooks and crannies provide an expansive adsorptive surface for microbes and chemicals, natural and otherwise. Biochar, being black, darkens the soil, and dark soil is generally associated with fertility, although that’s not always the case. Because biochar is mostly elementary carbon, it resists microbial decomposition, so its carbon is less apt to end up in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. In contrast, when raw wood — wood chips or sawdust, as examples — is added to soil, it feeds microbes and then plants as it decomposes, eventually turning to organic matter, sometimes called humus. Humus is a witch’s brew of compounds with beneficial effects on soil’s nutritional, biological, and physical properties. So is cooking up a batch of biochar and adding it to your soil better for the soil and really worth the effort? Biochar and raw wood have similar benefits in soil. Raw wood, though, has the benefit of feeding soil life. If I had a pound of wood, I contend it would be better for the soil and, in turn, plants, if ground up and applied to the soil rather than being converted to biochar before being added to the soil. Thoreau wrote, “Simplify, simplify.” Sometimes people want to complicate, complicate. Something about using some apparatus, whether it’s a biochar burner or a compost tea aerator. People are wowed
What is the better use of wood waste in the garden: wood chip mulch or biochar? (LEE REICH PHOTO)
by numbers, dials, and other bells and whistles of science. Bells and whistles do not science make. Or good gardening. Some of the most elegant experiments in the science of gardening involved not much more than a human mind and close observation of plants. In the 19th century, pea seeds were just about all that Gregor Mendel needed to discover heritable traits in plants, laying the foundation for modern genetics. Ninety percent of good gardening could be summed up in two words: organic matter. Enrich your soil with plenty of compost and/or other organic materials, such as leaves, straw, and wood chips, and you’re well on the way to plants that are healthy, healthful, and productive. I wish I could offer some gimmick or catch-phrase. Out in the field, literally, I sometimes use some hay I cut to snuggle down along my row of dwarf apple trees in fall. I like the look, a billowing, beige blanket. By the following spring, snow and rain compress it to ground level. By the following fall, it’s mostly gone. That’s okay. During its tenure, the mulch smothers weeds and insulates the soil against winter cold and summer heat. Bacteria, fungi, and other soil organisms are what
make it vanish, as with wood chips. In so doing, nutrients within those stems and leaves move into the soil for plant use and what’s left behind is humus, which makes the soil dark and, in this case, is an indicator of good soil. Some garden faddists would fault me for using hay beneath my apple trees, alleging that the trees would prefer a mulch of wood chips. The reasoning goes like this: The natural habitat of woody plants, such as apple trees, is forest, and in forest soils fungi are more prevalent than bacteria. Wood chip mulch favors fungi, mulch from herbaceous plants favor bacteria, so the correct mulch for apple trees is wood chips. But a higher ratio of fungi to bacteria in the soil, as results from the wood chips, increases soil binding agents, for better aggregation, and promotes better carbon and nitrogen cycling. All this seems so very logical, but greatly simplifies processes much more complex. Just look at how vegetable plants thrive with mulches of wood shavings, and apple trees with mulches of hay. Depending on my mood and what’s available, I might mulch my apple trees with wood chips. The “complicators” step in here also,
admonishing me not to use just any wood chips, but those from branches less than two and a half inches across (“ramial” wood chips). The only “research” paper I could find on this topic, from some folks at Laval University, was alleged to provide evidence for benefits of ramial wood chips. I found the publication very weak on evidence and very strong on boosterism. I get my wood chips delivered free by local arborists and would get laughed at if I specified to deliver only ramial wood chips. The one potential benefit of ramial wood chips over any old wood chips is that the former, having more living tissue, would be higher in nitrogen. But any nitrogen deficiency of wood chips from fatter stems could be offset with some nitrogen fertilizer or manure. Or by letting a pile of wood chips age, which increases their nitrogen concentration. Or, best of all, by just laying chips on top of the ground as mulch, which allows for a slow tie-up and then release of nitrogen at the interface of the mulch and the soil. My blueberries provide a good demonstration of this, growing and bearing very well and exuding health despite the fact that I haven’t fertilized them for years. Depending on availability, I’ll sometimes use wood chips as mulch, and when I do, I’ll use any kind. And more generally, I’ll use hay, wood chips, or any other organic mulch I can get my hands on. Simplify, simplify.

Cleaning experts beg you to stop trying these online ‘hacks’ By Jolie Kerr
S
The Washington Post
OCIAL MEDIA HAS revolutionized the way we clean, introducing hacks like laundry stripping and making mopping seem cool. Instead of It Girls, we have It Sponges, and everyone is spending their Sundays doing bedroom resets. But all of this buzzy new cleaning content brings with it new cleaning problems: Lots of advice that doesn’t account for the complex chemistry of products, including and especially the potential that mixing the wrong things can result in toxic fumes that can, and do, kill people and animals. Cleaning hacks found on social media, says Morgan Eberhard, a principal scientist for P&G Home Care, “are made much of the time by people without a scientific background to understand the risks associated with their advice.” Experts stress that chemical cleaning products are safe and effective when used as directed, but mixing or misusing them poses serious health and safety risks. Ahead, they share the things they want you to know about cleaning agents, and what they really wish you’d stop doing.
Don’t put your cleaning products in cute jars Experts would also like you to stop turning your laundry room into an adorable fabric care apothecary. “Another risky trend is transferring cleaning products, especially detergent pods, into decorative jars or unmarked containers for aesthetic reasons, which can increase the risk of accidental ingestion particularly for children and pets,” says Heather Day, a principal scientist at the Clorox Co. “We recommend that you always make sure to store cleaning agents in their original containers with the labels intact,” Eberhard says. Ek echoes this advice, “Cleaning products should be stored out of sight and reach of children, older adults with cognitive impairments, and pets. They should be stored in a cool, dry place, in their original containers.”
Don’t play mixologist with your cleaning supplies “Never mix cleaning products,” Ek. says “You may think one product gets things clean so more products will get things cleaner, but it can be very dangerous.” She Skip this particular points out that individual hack on social media products have a formulation TikTok and Instagram are that is safe when used as filled with dangerous cleaning directed, but when mixed advice that the experts we with another product could spoke to would like to punt produce a chemical reaction into the sun, so to speak.

The SDS for Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover, for example, includes this piece of information: “Reacts with other household chemicals such as products containing ammonia, toilet bowl cleaners, rust removers, vinegar, or acids to produce hazardous gases, such as chlorine and other chlorinated compounds.” Reading that, you can imagine how easy it is to accidentally mix bleach and ammonia, a common ingredient in glass cleaners, in the bathroom, resulting in toxic fumes overtaking the space. It’s not just heavy-duty chemicals that pose a risk. “Even ingredients as seemingly harmless as household vinegar, when combined improperly with the wrong materials, can lead to harmful gases and other irritants,” Eberhard says.
you still probably don’t need to use softener. Richardson’s advice to use less detergent can make your clothes feel softer. Or, he says, you can add a bit of vinegar to your wash for the same effect, minus the heavy fragrance and the quats (quaternary ammonium compounds) in fabric softeners.
Read the label! “With all cleaning products, be sure to read the label and follow the instructions,” Ek says. “It will have important information, including cautions and warnings,” which may include things like wearing gloves or ensuring the space you’re working in has proper ventilation. “When it is directed on usage labels,” Day says, “use gloves and any other recommended personal protective gear to avoid skin contact and splashes.” She also says that it is a good habit to wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning. And don’t overlook the expiration dates on products, “particularly disinfectants and hand sanitizers,” she says, which lose efficacy over time. What to do if you accidentally create toxic fumes In the event you or someone in your household accidentally mixed cleaning agents that produce toxic fumes, it’s important to act quickly and safely. “If you realize you’ve mixed cleaning agents, leave the area immediately and ensure other people and pets also leave,” Ek says. • Move out of the space to an area with fresh air as quickly as possible. • Air out the space by opening windows and doors. • Contact Poison Control for guidance; do not try to clean up or neutralize the mixture, which can make the situation worse. • Seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms such as coughing, chest pain or shortness of breath.
Don’t boil your clothes Social media will try to tell you that boiling your clothes is a great way to get them extra clean. Don’t believe social media. The extreme temperatures can lead to shrinking, fading and color loss, as well as damage to seams and elastic. Skip the dryer Your dryer can wreak havoc on your clothes. LeBoeuf largely avoids using it at home, with the exception of underwear and towels. Everything else hangs to dry. Air drying your clothes is also a great way to save energy.

Windsor chairs were made differently in America
W
ITH 2026 BRINGing the 250th anniversary of the United States, will we see a revival of interest in Colonial American furniture? It’s happened with previous anniversaries. The centennial celebration in 1876 saw furniture makers adapt early American styles to the manufacturing techniques of the Industrial Revolution and the tastes of the Victorian era. Windsor chairs were a favorite piece, but these spindle-backed chairs arguably never went out of style. They are believed to have originated in England in the late 1600s, but, like many English furniture styles of the time, they became popular in the American colonies, too. And, like many English furniture styles, American cabinetmakers put their own spin on them. Americans preferred straight tapered legs and spindle backs to the curved cabriole legs and back splats seen in English chairs. Different types of Windsor chairs were made in different regions of America, with the style of the chair’s back being the most obvious difference. The miniature chair pictured here is a comb-back style. It sold for $120 at Auctions at Showplace in New York. It still has its old, worn paint; antique Windsor chairs were often painted, possibly to hide the fact that they were made from different types of wood. However, it is clearly a later chair, not an original Colonial-era piece. The evidence is its size: at only 15 inches tall, it was made as a salesman sample, carried by traveling salesmen in the late 19th to early 20th century.

The idea behind a cheap, easily distributed record has been around since the early 1900s, but did not have much success until the Eva-tone Soundsheet in 1962. Square flexi discs were bound into books or magazines with a perforated edge where they could be detached. They were often perforated inside the square, too, so you could punch the disc out for a typical round record. This is probably why yours is the size of a 45, even though it is a 33. Even if left in a square shape, they will still play on a record player with a stylus suitable for vinyl. Because of the flimsy material, the record may not stay in place during playback. The typical solution for this is to place a heavy coin on the label.
