    As a preschool teacher I have often heard the phrase, “ nothing you do for children is ever wasted.” There are so many incredible words to describe your family but I feel like that quote is especially true for you and your family. I know your days must be long but man must they be worth it. If no one has told you recently that you are a blessing and a mountain mover, then please hear that now! Good job Mama, you’ve got this!

    I'm noticing as I watch your videos, my time management skills are getting better, and organization too. My kitchen counters and refrigerator are cleaner and more organized than they've ever been and I think I discovered your channel less than 2 weeks ago. I'm sure you've made a similar impact on many of us who watch your channel, and I just want to say you ROCK!
    Your family is so lucky to have you. Be sure to take care of yourself the way you take care of everyone else. I know I'm as guilty as every other mom of thinking I'm ok doing without, and maybe we are ok overall, but we all deserve the same love and attention to ourselves that we're showing to our family and everyone around us. 🥰🥰🥰

    Hello, As a laundromat owner can I give you a piece of money and time saving advice. You are under loading the dryers. You should fill them up half way up the door. Under loading and over loading will cost you more money and time. The same goes for washing machines you should leave a fist amount of space from the top of the cloths to the top of the drum. You want that space for the water and cloths wash best when fabrics rub against each other and there is room for the water to push through the fabric. I love the channel and look forward to your videos.

    • @rose281396
      @rose281396 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This advice for the dryers is only true if the temperature is set high enough to actually fry the clothes. I know this because my in laws own a laundry mat also and if you don’t have the temp high it won’t dry. Plus they dry faster if there is less clothes in the dryer.

    • @ChockFullofQuarters
      @ChockFullofQuarters 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@rose281396 I'm sorry that information is incorrect. First if dryers are frying clothing they are broken and are safety issue. A dryers job is not to cook clothing. Factory temps are set for a reason. For clothing to dry at their fastest and safest way is when the dryer is running clothing must be spaced out equally as it tumbles in the drum. Hot air is being pushed from the back to the front of the drum. then it pushes its self through the clothing. the clothing that touches the hot wall of the drum also dries the clothing as the heat permeates the clothing from the other side. Under loading the dryer the hot air does hold well in the excess empty space. Over loading the dryer does not allow the hot to move at all. A happy medium must be achieved.

    When i was a camp counselor, the easiest way they did laundry i think would benefit your load! Just get each kiddo a laundry bag, put their name on it, then collect the bags, wash the clothes in that bag, put it back in the bag after clean and give it back to the kiddo to unpack and put away! 🥰

  • @rosemarys.6504
    @rosemarys.6504 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I live in upstate New York, i actually love using the laundry mat. In 2 hours a weeks worth of laundry is completed, sorted, and folded, to put away at home. Thankfully loads cost me $1.75 to wash and .75 to dry for a total of $10 for every 4 loads, in regular machines. We also have the double loaders, triple loaders and 2 super sized washers that hold up to 6 loads of bedding at once. Those machines cost $8-10 each load depending on light to heavy dirt. Although most of our driers hold 1-2 loads, we do have 2 super driers that will hold 6 loads that cost $1 for every 10 minutes, usually drying in them takes 30 - 40 minutes to complete. Now I nowhere near have as many loads as you, but I find it relaxing. I give you much deserved credit doing it all on your own. But here's my point of view, all my kids and grand kids came with me at age 10, learned how to sort, load, wash, dry and fold their own laundry, reason being when they got to college they could do their own in dorms.. and i have to admit my son's and grandsons girlfriend always thanked me for teaching how to do laundry. Not that I've ever asked them to go every week, but it is a life skill thats important to learn. And I will say this, only once did my son come home with a car full of a months dirty laundry, looked at me to do it, I smiled, handed him the detergent, fabric softener, and drier sheets, and told him I'd meet him at the laundry mat. Lmao I did mine, let him do his, we had a good time together, spending time, enjoyed our coffee, but he understood I wasn't his personal drop off point and it was fun talking about his busy college life the whole time.

It would go to the US just to visit Target, i can’t fly as I am an amputee and would need business class so until we win the lottery we can’t visit your amazing country!

    Out of high school into college I was a huge laundromat customer… (and used for other reasons through the years) one thing I miss… and I know doesn’t apply to you… when I did laundry at the laundromat, the rest of the world stopped. Since I wasn’t at home, doing other stuff, I could sit and read ( smart phones weren’t a thing ) or just watch my laundry spin… good times- it’s a good Jim croche song- a la - working at the car wash or keeping the dime …

Of course you’re sweating buckets, you just lugged and lifted how many pounds of laundry. No wonder you’re in such good shape! Hats off to you. Now I’m kinda new here so I probably missed it, but I’m praying you get a washer and dryer soon. Then you won’t have to load, unload, load and unload laundry several times a week.

    Don’t know if you ever thought to have kids put pj’s under their pillows since normally they take showers at night especially during school years. Saves a lot of laundry. Have assigned laundry baskets in each bedroom so when you wash and dry those items get folded they go back to that room. Those few things saved me time when my kids were teens.

    Your laundromat needs the washers that the one I go to has. Been going to the same laundromat for over 20 years. They have 2 HUGE washers that hold 8 loads of laundry each. My husband and I can go about 2 weeks before we HAVE to laundry and for just the two of us that is about three hampers. We can fit all three hampers into the two washers and then two dryers that are meant to hold 50 lbs laundry each. In total we spend about $22 each trip.

    So awesome! I quit using laundry baskets and now I use heavy duty moving bags when I have to go to laundry mat! I've tried all types but the big blue ones on Amazon are best!

    For several years we lived on a farm without city water and without a we. In summer our cistern didn't have enough water for laundry use. My husband showered at work. Do we did laundromat. I kind of liked it having multiple washers and dryers
