First off, my mother laughs at me for calling it fabric detergent instead of laundry detergent, but to me it makes sense since you call its counterpart fabric softener and not laundry softener.

I’ve been using Woolite Dark for my darks, but a lot of my darks aren’t exactly the “delicates” Woolite is intended for and it really seemed a waste to be using it for that purpose, enter purchasing some Cheer Dark, and while I think the cost per usage is nearly the same, I feel better about it for some reason.

Then of course there is the ‘free & clear’ allergy reducing regular detergent, which right now I’m finishing up a bottle of ALL, and since that is nearly empty I bought a bottle of Cheer, heh. Tide is dreadfully expensive and as a nice bonus for paying so much I discovered I am also dreadfully allergic to it, hence that is totally out of the question from now on, lol. Nothing is quite so awful as contact dermatitis from your underwear’s detergent!

Now, I also have delicates that aren’t dark, so there is regular Woolite for those… I’m still not sure if it really is worth using Woolite versus regular detergent, but… I’m sure it won’t hurt either, maybe just a tiny waste of money… 4 less usages per bottle.

I’m a big fan of fabric softener, even though I know it has a tendency to ruin clothing… but that lovely and light scent of whatever is always so nice when putting on a t-shirt or whatever. I have a bottle of Snuggle because who can resist that darling teddy bear, right? The Snuggle’s scent is “cuddle up fresh” and who can resist that sort of name either? I also went total consumer when the new Downy stuff scented with Lavender and Vanilla came out. I do like the scent, but the stuff is so watery, and it doesn’t really stay in clothing at all. I don’t think I’d buy another bottle, but it has been nice using it.

Are you keeping count of how many bottles sit on the shelf above my washer thus far? It’s scary.

Of course inevitably the need for bleach arises, so there is a bottle of Clorox 2 and regular Clorox (and unfortunately the wild flower scent is sickeningly disgusting might I add, big mistake there).

I also have a can of Faultless starch, because that crisp look is always so classy, lol. That also means I actually iron my clothing, even t-shirts (yes, I know… it is sad). Having been incredibly fed up with my piece of shit iron the other night I went and bought myself a nice new Sunbeam Steam Master Iron, for which it is now known as “the manly iron” between anyone I’ve mentioned it to and myself.

So, not counting the starch, I have currently nine bottles of various laundry products… and those are just mine, that doesn’t count the super generic tripe that my family tends to use. HAH. It is so ridiculous isn’t it? Though it compares well to the entire shelf of facial care items I have, my bathroom really looks like the Fab 5 have paid me a visit.
