Laundry Tips & Tricks {Train Up A Child}

Hello my name is Allison.  I am the mother of four boys ages 5, 3, and 20 month old twins.  As you can imagine keeping up with the laundry in our house can seem like a full time job.  Thanks to laundry tips my mom taught me growing up and experimenting with what works best for me I have developed a good system.  I’m excited to share my laundry tips and tricks as part of Spring Cleaning here at Gluesticks.

I am a hands on mom with a firm belief in the value of messy play.  With messy play comes messy clothes.  Would you believe that I have never met a stain I can’t get out?

My kids are almost always covered in paint, glue, glitter, food coloring, dirt, or food.  It comes with the territory with young children.

Believe it or not I do not stress about the mess when we are doing an activity, because I know the tools that will gets the stains clean without fading clothes.
