I’m one of those people who really doesn’t mind cleaning, including doing the laundry.  I hate cooking and washing dishes, but laundry?  I could do that all day long and not complain.  Especially now that I have the Maytag Bravos XL washer and dryer.  Pretty hard to complain when I get to do laundry with these beautiful machines!

 

If I had to pick out just one thing that frustrates me about doing the laundry, it would have to be stain fighting, especially light colored grease stains.  You know the ones…you drop food on your shirt and forget to treat the stain and the shirt comes out clean, but with that “clear” stain where you dropped the food.  I’ve mentioned before the many school uniform shirts I have had to toss because I just didn’t see it before I washed. Now, I’m much more careful about looking over our clothing before it’s washed and I also use my “secret weapon”.

So what is my secret weapon against stain fighting now? 

 

 

A great detergent, a stain pre-treater specially formulated for set-in stains, and my Maytag Bravos XL washer with PowerSpray Technology.

PowerSpray Technology means when I start my Maytag Bravos XL washing machine, a mixture of detergent and water is sprayed directly onto the clothes to instantly start cleaning them.  No waiting for the washer to fill up and mix in with the detergent.  This machine does it all at once.  I think it’s pretty amazing.

Keeping my machines clean is also a big priority now, too.  Before I got my Maytag Bravos XL washer and dryer, I just assumed that with HE machines that cleaning and maintaining them would be a big pain.  I couldn’t have been more wrong!  To clean the washer, I simply pop in a laundry cleaning tablet and run the Clean Washer Cycle.  How smart is that?  My Maytag Bravos XL actually lets me know when the machine needs to be cleaned by illuminating the Clean Washer Reminder.

 

 

Each time I run the dryer I always make sure the lint screen is clean.  Just a pull of the screen in the front of the dryer, a swipe of the hand, and I’m done.

I’m fortunate in that I have beautiful furniture in my library at school and a big area to work with.  I love the bright colors and I think it is so inviting for the kids.  I like for my students to feel right at home in the library and do my best to keep our room clean and highly organized.  I fully admit to being a neat freak and just feel like my whole world is “off” if things aren’t in their designated place, even in my library.

One item I have my eye on to help me with our Accelerated Reader folder storage issue is a wooden tray unit that rolls.  I think it would be so perfect for storing the students’ folders.  I love that it rolls, which makes it super easy to put it in a general area where the kids can grab their own folders and store them when they are finished.  Then, I can simply roll the filing unit out of the way when our day is complete.  There are several color options for the trays, which also makes this stand out from your basic black or grey office furniture.  I could definitely see the color options being terrific for helping each class identify which drawers were theirs.
