My Laundry Room Smells Like Poop {Thoughtful Thursday}

I walked into my laundry room today after several days of my drier being broke and was almost knocked on my butt by the smell of poop!
Does your laundry room ever smell like "code brown"? Wanna know why? And how to get rid of the feces stench?

Your front loader is to blame! Yeppers. These little boogers are a life save in the world of dirty laundry from oodles of blessings running around. BUT there is a #1 rule I didn't couldn't stick to the past couple days:

Air out the washer by leaving the door open

When the heating coil went out on our drier all of a sudden I left loads of wet laundry in the washer until I had time to pull them out and hang them to dry. #FAIL Leaving the wet clothing in the washer added to the moister inside the washer and of course, the door was shut for longer than normal resulting in STANK!

Even when you do move laundry quickly and air out the washer, there are still lots of places that hold moister and result in mold and mildew. These places should get cleaned out every once in a while to avoid the smell of a diaper gene in your laundry room.

The Door

The Detergent Tray

The Gasket {apparently what this rubber stuff is called}

I just used some multipurpose cleaning spray, warm water, and a washcloth to wipe down each of these. I didn't really take that long and if I did it more often I bet it would take even less time. I think ran a "santize" cycle with nothing but white vinegar in it to make sure the parts I couldn't get to will be cleaned as well.

Now I just have to remember to do this ~once a month to keep the poo smell away. Does your laundry room stink?

4th of July Party Food Ideas

My oldest little girl was born on June 29th but our summers are crazy full with camps and family living out-of-town so we have made it a tradition to have a family birthday party on the weekend of the 4th of July. Everyone is off work and can travel! I told myself four years ago I never wanted to make her birthday 4th of July themed…yeah. We all know how that one’s gonna end ;o)

I'm sharing the party foods over at the Homemaker's Challenge today.

Bedding, Summer Goodies, & Organization

So I found this new site called http://www.become.com/. It's kinda like an amazon or something where it pulls up several brands of what ever topic you're looking for from new bedding, summer time goodies, and organizational tools.

Lets say you search: flip flop bedding sets. I love flip flops and bed spreads! It comes up with these adorable comforters: This is from the Company Store. Cute colors for a girls room! And @ $99.oo it's not a horrible price. Very beachy, bright, and fun.

Or like plush blue rose towels. It comes up with all kinds of stuff including this cute beach towel for ~$10.00 from Swim2000. $10.00 for a beach towel is pretty average price, right?Wet Products Hibiscus Towel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or even nsf-free airtight 25 lb flour containers. My friend Katie has some awesome container like these! She's been hold'n out for the quality canisters. She uses them to hold cereal, snacks, and even toys. These are found at Khols for sale $13.59-$16.99, iginal $15.99-19.99. A little pricey but possible worth it for the quality.Oggi Airtight Storage Containers

Just thought it could be a fun new site for you fellow mamma's to search for home and garden items {they have other categories as well}!
Let me know if you find any fun products.
