Thanks for having this site. I am a ‘beginning messy’ and trying to find techniques that will help me get back on top of my cleaning chores.

The last two weeks I have spent my off days working on hot spots. I managed to kill one of them altogether! (yay me!)

Anyway just wanted to check in and thank you again.

I read your post at My Messy House about the greasy spots on your clothes. I’m not sure what the spots are, but when I do laundry I start with jeans , then darks , lights , whites , what I call ‘dog towels’ ~(towels we dry the dogs ~wash the car ~wipe up messys ,, dog towels
are done after the whites so if there is any bleach left in the washer then it won’t ruin clothes that matter). then sheets, towels , rugs.
What I have been using for greasy or the spots everyone here says when asked what the stain is ~ ‘ I don’t know ‘ is ~ 409 ~
or if you go to COSTCO or SMART and FINAL
their ~ Degreaser ~ it comes in a gallon bottle
( cost $5. to $6. ) that you place in a spray bottle and then add water.
I spray any stain leave the garmet to the side til I finish tossing in everything else, then drop in. I’ve been doing this for the last 23 yrs
and it works 98 % of the time. I’ve even done it to what seems like set~in~stains, sometimes it helps.
Also try this on your kitchen tile grout ~ spray on the grout, wait a few mins. ,srub with
an old toothbrush , wipe clean.
Try this on your bathtub or shower (after the shower) .
Good luck !!!!!
