Boys Stink!

Not really, but man their clothes do! I had planned to show you a nifty idea for an easy, thrifty Valentine outfit but.... The hubby is home sick and I decided quick and easy was best for today. So, I decided to share a tip I've learned washing my teenage sons clothes. He is very active in sports and it seemed I just couldn't get " that " smell out of his clothes. You know the one I'm talking about! Ugh!

In a discussion at the drive up window at our local cleaners I found my solution. Vinegar! Yep, regular everyday distilled vinegar.

I started using a medicine cup full (like the one below off of a bottle of night time so you can rest medicine) of vinegar mixed with my laundry detergent when I wash his clothes. The first couple of loads took a couple of washes to get it all out but after that it takes it right out the first time.

It even helped pull some of the discoloration from the underarms of a few shirts and he smells sooo much better! Hope this helps a few of you ...... I'll be back next week with some more ideas I hope you enjoy.
