I don't know about you, but at my house, doing laundry for five kids is a never ending chore, and I'm always looking for ways to make it easier. So when Clorox sent me their Complete the Cycle kit, I was especially excited to read their tips and try out the very cool FlipFold.

Have you always wanted perfectly folded shirts and tees like those department store displays? Now you can organize your very own drawers and closets with the FlipFold. Just follow the simple instructions included in the box, and you'll be flipping and folding your way to neater drawers and less wrinkles in no time.

3 Marianna August 31, 2009 at 11:42 am: I save $$ by making my own laundry soap!
4 Cori Westphal August 31, 2009 at 12:08 pm: I'd be surprised if someone hasn't said this already but Shampoo works great for taking out grease stains. Even set in ones! Dawn dishsoap works too. But you can get a bottle of generic shampoo for less than a dollar. Now that's cheap stain removal!

13 Dddiva August 31, 2009 at 2:09 pm: Teach the kids when they are young to sort & separate then what loads to wash on what settings and then leave it to them. Best way to make the burden easier. ;)

17 Geoff K August 31, 2009 at 2:32 pm: My best money-saving tip for laundry is to try to wash in cold water whenever possible, which not only saves money (probably around $100 a year at least) but also saves energy. I also usually cut my dryer sheets in half and get double the use out of them. Thanks for the great giveaway!

22 Becky August 31, 2009 at 3:49 pm: I honestly love doing laundry, so I don't mind how long it takes..
23 Mishia August 31, 2009 at 4:58 pm: Ivory dish soap is great for removing grease spots!
24 joana martin August 31, 2009 at 7:37 pm: this would be a great package for my kids to go by when they want to help mom with laundry or want to do it on ther own they will know what to do i have five boys and two girls and i try to teach the boys that laundry is not just a female thing.
25 Brian E. August 31, 2009 at 7:41 pm: Thanks for the giveaway... My tip is to pre-soak most loads at least an hour, or even better, overnight (depending on the fabric, color, etc., and any special care instructions on the item being washed, naturally); this will allow you to use shorter wash cycles and get everything just as clean.

27 Linda T. August 31, 2009 at 8:26 pm: For ink spots on clothing use hairspray and blot with a white paper towel. Keep spraying and blotting until the ink mark disappears.
Another great tip is to use peroxide in your water it is a lot safer than bleach and is actually one of the ingredients in non-chlorine whiteners.
28 Sarah C August 31, 2009 at 8:45 pm: Vinegar soaks are great for removing funky smells!
29 Sonya August 31, 2009 at 8:56 pm: I use Spot Shot Carpet Cleaner as a stain remover. It's absolutely wonderful and will get out virtually anything!
30 Gabriel J. August 31, 2009 at 9:27 pm: I use cold water.
31 Michelle H. August 31, 2009 at 9:35 pm: I am trying to educate my family to inform me of any stains that should be treated before they toss their clothes in the laundry.

33 Sarah Z August 31, 2009 at 10:23 pm: I buy laundry detergent in bulk to save money - doing laundry doesn't bother me, better than cleaning the shower!
34 Bethany August 31, 2009 at 10:43 pm: I do laundry at night or before I'm going to watch a movie. Basically those rare moments when I'm not being rushed to go somewhere. No one wants to do laundry in a hurry!
35 Chrysa August 31, 2009 at 10:50 pm: I sort the laundry BEFORE I bring it to the laundry room
36 kathy pease August 31, 2009 at 10:52 pm: WE EACH TAKE TURNS doing laundry in our house and we try to use cold water for most washes :)

42 Becky Grady August 31, 2009 at 11:20 pm: My laundry tip is to teach your kids how to do their own laundry as soon as they can reach the machine. :)
