Famous Footwear and Mom It Forward have teamed up to bring us a delicious giveaway!

Did you know that two things most all women share is their love of shoes and ice cream? Famous Footwear blends these two ingredients together on its site Make Today Unexpected, which gives us women the chance to discover our style and flavor in a most unexpected way.

I just went there, took a short quiz, and found out my personal ice cream flavor is “Hopelessly Chocolate,” which basically means that I am a romantic. Who knew, LOL!

I absolutely hate doing laundry. Well, I don’t mind actually doing the washing and drying but I hate sorting and folding, Uggh!  Luckily the Consumer King doesn’t mind doing it.  Which is good because if your house is anything like my house, then you know what I am talking about.  Clothes on the bathroom floor, sitting on the bedroom floor right next to the hamper etc, etc.   You get the picture. We don’t have a laundry room so we have to fold our laundry on the couch in the living room which I absolutely hate. We’re hoping to start house hunting in Jan. and eventually have a laundry room.                                                                                                                               Although I’m sure a lot of you feel the same way I do,  some of  you may actually like doing laundry (wishful thinking LOL!).  I thought it would be fun to share some laundry tips with you and then see what laundry tips you may have to share as well.

Hate running out of dryer sheets?  You can  make your own dryer sheets at home.

Make your own dryer sheets: Use your favorite Tupperware container and use 2 parts water and 1 part of your favorite liquid fabric softener. Take 2 kitchen sponges and cut them in 1/2. Toss them in and let them soak over night. When done, ring one out and toss in the dryer. They can be reused over and over and just think how many dryer sheets you can get out of a bottle? Be sure and keep it air tight and you can color code your sponges so you can remember which ones need to soak. For more tips with dryer sheets click here!

White Vinegar: White Vinegar can be used in laundry to help fight stains and help with musty odors and pet odors. It works with your normal detergent to help fight stains and I have heard it also works as a fabric softner.

Lint Filters: Cleaning out your lint filter after every load is very important. Lint can build up and cause a house fire.  It’s also a good idea to seasonally check your hoses to make sure there is no lint build up.

Clean your appliances: Don’t use harsh chemicals on your washer and dryer.  Some of them have  baked on enamel and could easily chip. Use a mild dish soap to keep them clean.

Salt? I have heard that adding a 1/2 cup of salt to your wash can help keep new fabric colors from running? But I am not sure what the effects it would have on your machine. Has anyone tried this? I’ve also heard it helps to clean your iron and adding it to your strach will keep clothes from sticking to your iron.

These are just a few tips.  I have been chosen with a few other bloggers to work with Clorox and Collective Bias to develop the Complete the Cycle Laundry Regimen. They gave us a GC card that I took to Walmart and purchased my normal laundry products and then documented my laundry routines. Once they gathered all the information from us they created the laundry guide. It’s basically a cheat sheet chocked full of tips. I would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think!

Here is where the exciting part comes in! Thanks to Collective Bias and Clorox I will be giving away 5 Laundry kits !

5 lucky ConsumerQueen.com Readers are going to win:

To Enter: Tell me your Laundry regimen(routine) and 1 laundry tip you might have to share.
