What is one of your stain fighting secrets (or not secret)? I have always used Resolve carpet cleaner, it works great on tough stains. Now they have Resolve for clothes, but I still think the carpet cleaner works better, and it does not hurt your clothes either

It even gets blueberries out!

Haha, I just found this thread and thought "Wow, that is very relevant to my life right now! Perfect for the post challenge!" Then I realized that I was the last one to respond to it two years ago as well Funny... Anyway, now that some of us have added children to the family, and now that our kids are older, getting dirtier (maybe) have your laundry habits changed??? Have you learned a few tips and tricks lately? I have to say, I do the laundry a LOT more than I did before.

What fabric softener do you use? None. It makes me break out in hives
Do you fold the laundry immediately out of the dryer or do you let it sit? I had a good run of folding it immediately, as I pulled it out of the dryer, it was folded and put straight into the basket. But now I have a mountain of clean, unfolded clothes. I hate it. We call it "Mt. Foldmore"
