I’m looking for a monthly amount. It’s just for me and my husband. We just recently moved and don’t have a washer and dryer so I’m wondering about how much I should set aside each month for laundry? I will be taking my own detergent and dryer softener sheets.

So I told him to do his own d**m laundry! haha But if he did that hed end up getting my stuff in there and mess everything up. But seriously how can I make it softer. Right now I use Sun or Tide detergent and Snuggle fabric softener along with snuggle dryer sheets. We live in an apt so I dont have a brand new washer or anything its an old one. Any help would be great Thanks!

Since the sewer enters a few inches from the ground I have little space between the sewer and the drain in the bottom of the basin. Can I connect the drain directly to the trap to save vertical space(I have the parts to do so, but is it okay to do so)? Do I need to use an extension? What is the minimum distance between the drain and the trap?

I did my wash last night and the laundry detergent I used which is Extra has left stains on the lower front of the shirt.

Is there a way to get them out or is the shirt just beyond help? I’d hate to throw it out as I’ve only worn it once and wanted to wear it to work.
