Could laundry be any MORE fun?
With a large family, it's an obviously fact that I do a TON of laundry each week. When we moved in to our new house, we decided to go with a high capacity, water efficient, front loading washer. There are many pluses to the front loaders, along with a few known drawbacks, since I did my research ahead of time. The biggest drawback is becoming a real problem for me now that my washer is almost 3 years old. These days, when I do the laundry, I have a terrible allergy attack.
Why?
Because of the way these things are designed, they are prone to mildew if they are not thoroughly cleaned and dried out all the time. Yeah, I totally have time for that in addition to doing all that laundry, folding it and putting it away. Gah. It might sound easier to clean them than it is in reality. My laundry room is a very small room, along with being the entrance from the garage. If I left those doors open to 'air out,' there is no doubt there would be a couple of injuries that I'd be writing about instead.
But really, what's more fun than doing tons of laundry, than having an awful sneezing and slight asthma attack to top it off? My allergies are frustrating the heck out of me. Yes, I know the dang washer needs to be rid of the crud currently plaguing it, but gosh, why does it have to attack me so violently? Do I not spend hours each week in its company? I am not the enemy here!
The only promising thing is there is an upcoming period of time when the laundry room will not be in use, and I can safely inundate the washer with tons of bleach, and give it all its open, free time. We can only hope it will work. If not, any volunteers to do my laundry? ;-)
