Holy Grail Laundry Essentials

Purple Star emoji 14 items
To say I'm obsessed with laundry is an understatement.  I do laundry at least twice a day.  I have three kids, pets, a husband who showers 3x a day and plays pickleball in the excessive Florida heat.  Oh, and I love to resell on Poshmark.  So, I have a lot of experience with getting things clean!  These are my favorite products.

I use one dash of this in every load of laundry, along with regular detergent. It's expensive - but this makes it last a long time and gives everything just a hint of a great smell. I personally don't love super strong smells, but if you had unlimi...

I have found this is the best of the least expensive detergents on the market. Great on stains, leaves a light scent, works every time.

I'm letting you in on a little secret. This stuff is WAY better than Oxiclean. This is the absolute HOLY GRAIL of getting out odors and stains. I put this in every load of workout clothes (remember, I live in Florida, so we are literally dripping ...

If you have a child in a dorm or using a crappy public washing machine, THIS is the only way to go. Pods will inevitably melt and get stuck to the clothes in these public machines - plus the Breezeo strips are small and easier to carry in a laundry ...

This is the only acceptable softener smell in my house. No particular reason. It just smells like clean to me.

I LOVE this washing machine.  I didn't want to go back to a front loader because of the mold issue I've had in the past, but when we moved into our new house in Florida, we realized that the cabinet guys hung the cabinets so low that we didn't have a choice.  Then, I found this machine!  After each load, you hit “vent” and it vents itself out and gets rid of the moisture inside.  And the blue is GORGEOUS in person.

I love a drying rack that pulls out.  I had this one in our last house and it was perfect.  I don't really have the right space for this in the new house but if you do, this is a great, durable, sturdy product!

I was 50+ years old when I learned that this takes out grease stains on clothing.  I'm just happy I learned it now vs. never.

Okay, truth be told, I bought the knockoff of this one.  But this one is WAAAAY prettier.

I keep seeing these foldable baskets on TikTok shop and I may have to break down and buy one. Has anyone bought them? I'm just envisioning them falling apart in one day.

Soooo I just discovered this product a few years ago because I’ve always been picky about separating my colors. Throwing it all in together makes it so much easier!
