washing

Most of us couldn't care less that our washing machine has the High Efficiency (he) symbol. More is better and that's what you've been taught all of your life. Your mom and her mom didn't have "he" on any of their stuff and the more soap they used, the cleaner the clothes. However, today's washing machines are nothing like those your mother or grandmother used.

Everyone you know, including yourself, should be at least mildly proficient at most of these skills

According to the Daily Mail, we're pretty lazy when it comes to washing sheets!  Personally, I think our sheets are washed atleast twice a month?? My wife normally takes care of those duties, so I'm just trying to think, how many times do I help her make the bed in a month. Some of these survey findings are pretty bad....check em out!
