Did you know the average American family does 600 loads of laundry per year? I think my family may be above average because I feel like I wash, dry, fold and put away way more than 600 loads per year! Of course that might just be because of all my household duties laundry is my least favorite. Which is kind of an oxymoron because my absolute favorite smell in the world is fresh laundry. There’s nothing like it! For me, it’s better than the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies! Crazy but true.
My family has sensitive skin, so I’ve always been careful about selecting laundry detergents. I’m kind of picky. I need my laundry detergent to smell really great, be gentle on our skin but tough on dirt. It’s for all those reasons that I started using Method Laundry Detergent. I stumbled across it at Target one day, and I’ve been hooked on it ever since.
This might sound really odd, but what initially attracted me to the Method bottles over all the other brands was the fact that it’s a pump! I LOVE that. I have always had a problem measuring liquid detergents and have tended to use way too much which is so bad for your washing machine, leads to residue on your clothes and a yucky smell in your machine. Using these pump bottles takes all the guess work out – no measuring – no over dosing – and no messy drips!
I also loved the small size of the bottles. This detergent is ultra concentrated, so clothes get cleaned with just 1/4 the dose of the leading brand. And because the bottles are so much smaller than most other brands this fresh-laundry-aroma lover has the space to have 3 different fragrances on hand! I set up a little Method Laundry Detergent Bar which has made doing the laundry feel like much less of a chore.
It’s amazing what a pretty tray and some matching labels can do. I now have a bar in my laundry room. Now that’s how you make doing the laundry fun!
Are you ready to put a detergent bar in your laundry room? Method is giving someone a year’s worth of laundry detergent – go enter to win! (it’s super quick)
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Method, however my love for the smell of fresh laundry comes straight from my heart.
