Would you SWASH your clothes????

Apparently Procter and Gamble - the biggest laundry detergent maker - is testing a product that will allow laundry slackers to put off doing their wash.
With a spray or a wipe wrinkles, stains and odors can be removed from clothes ... all without washing.  The product is SWASH   and their 4 products include ...
  1. Fresh It Up - a spray to remove odors (Isn't this essentially Febreze)
  2. Get It Out - a stain erasing pen (Don't they already make a product like this?)
  3. Smooth It Out - a spray to remove wrinkles (I know this was invented way long ago)
  4. Steam It Out - a moistened cloth to toss in the dryer with the clothes to remove odors and wrinkles (Isn't this just like DRYEL?)

This product is meant to help out those re-wearers.  You know, the people who pick up clothes off the floor and just put it right back on their body.  Hopefully they do a little sniff test beforehand .  College kids are probably a great test market for this product.  The design of the bottles and packaging is also "cool" and meant not for the laundry room, but for the bathroom and bedroom use.  

I'm not sure I could do that especially since I can't pick up clothing off the floor and inspect it all that carefully with observation and sniffing.  I know that I probably wash clean clothes, but I'm not a big risk taker.  My super sniffer can't handle bad whiffs.

There will be no SWASHING here ;)  I will continue to pretreat, wash, dry, and iron my own clothes.  Something tells me that the bacteria count on my clothing will be a lot less.

Eeeewwww - sniff and wear. Shudder.

Yep, I definitely think they need to market that to college kids or teenagers, except would they really buy it - do they REALLY care?

Bizzaro!

Yep, I definitey think I'm sticking with the old fashioned way.

Um.
Okay.
(My head is hanging down.)
This may be my dream product.
No one hates doing laundry like I do.

Oh boy, these are just more products people will purchase but probably never use often enough to empty the bottle.

But yeah, the bottles look cool...sort of like an energy drink!

That is funny! I might use the oe that makes it so you don't have to iron -- I detest ironing. My kids love to put half of their clothes away and then leave the rest of the clean laundry at the bottom of their hamper and pile dirty clothes on top -- but I've caught on to their evil plan. :-)

Huh, I'm wondering if the people who "sniff and wear" plan to do it?

I guess it's probably the green thing to do, but I'm not in a rush to cut back on clothes washing.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
