I love this, I’ve showed many of my friends this channel because my mother believed that women should do the cooking and cleaning so there’s a lot that I don’t know. But me and my brothers and friends need to learn to take care of ourselves and this channel is an excellent tool. Keep up the good work!
Nehemiah! You are so welcome to be here and actually, you are just the kind of people I’m creating for...those young homemakers and homekeepers who need to know how to manage things. I’m so glad you found me. What are your homemaking or homekeeping dilemmas? What videos can I make for you. Tell me what you need.
This and That with Denise Jordan Well Ms. Jordan, if it’s not already been done, some videos on patching up torn clothing would help. As well as some house plant tips!
@@SharKB8_O2H I've got some planned for patching up torn clothing. Will do! Thank you.

My brothers and 'I', not: "me".......X
I just want to thank you for your videos that you make. As a young mother to two children I need to learn everything I can. I have no family to teach me and my mother is sadly passed away.
You are quite welcome. What are your homemaking challenges? What video can I make for you?
Thanks Denise! I'm the clothes washer in our family. (We did our own laundry in the Marines too). I've been discovering many handy applications for vinegar. I'm looking forward to softer, more absorbent towels!
I've used wool drier balls for four or five years now. I adore them!
Great tips! I love using white distilled vinegar in place of fabric softener for bedding and towels. Thanks for sharing this!
Clean Create & Inspire you are so welcome. I love being in “the laundry lab.” I think it’s fun.
Thank you for all the help. My mom never told me anything about this. My skin will thank you!
My aunt is a naturalist and told me about vinegar years ago i love it. Love your channel .
Travel Lady 68, thank you so much. I’m working hard to provide value and be of service. Tell me, what do you like best and what are your laundry challenges.
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, giiirrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllllllfriendddd, tell your hubby, Eric&Tieja Lampkin said you are awesome! I showed this video to my wife we are cleaning towels 1-2-22 Sunday and the togetherness that is coming from this is amazing! Thanks so much for your yrs of expertise! We are on your channel to help us learn and grow ! 18yrs married 5 kids, teens to adults (Running The Family Business) U ARE AWESOMEEEEE
Thank you so so much, what a life saver. I have been buying new towels and wondering what I've been doing wrong whilst washing as they tend to absorb less. The vinegar did the trick.
This is the most helpful vlog I’ve come across. Great post & share!
thank you Ramon. I appreciate it. Please do share.
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing.
Great info. I will be trying the vinegar in my next load of towels😉 tfs!!
Hi Sandy, I only use vinegar in the fabric softener cycle now for my towels. They just feel better and are more absorbent, try it and let me know what you think.
Just stumbled across this channel & am loving it! So much good info. How does this lady not have 1M subscribers??? God bless
Very informative. Will definitely try this next time I’m doing my towels
This was very informative, Denise! I love the tip about using less detergent and that all of these tips fit in with my natural living. Mildewed towels are the worst! I use vinegar as my fabric softener. I also add a little lemon essential oil to the detergent. It helps brighten the laundry and adds a mild, fresh scent. I’ve tried wool dryer balls and didn’t like them. I found they actually caused static in my laundry. I’m anxious to hear how you like yours. I’ve wondered if maybe it was the particular dryers balls. I know others swear by them. Love, love, love this video! 💕💕💕
Inspired Living with Kristi Oh my, Kristi, thank you. I love to do laundry videos. I think it’s so fun to be “in the laundry lab” so I’m glad you liked it. I’ll have to try the lemon essential oil in the wash cycle and see how that works out. Thanks for that tip.
Thanks my parents weren’t responsible enough to teach me how to do laundry then yell at me for not doing laundry even though I ask them how to do laundry
I'm glad I was able to help you out learning some of this.
I agree Denise, I don't use fabric softener anymore, and I use the wool dryer balls. I put a few drops of lavender on the wool balls and run them in an empty dryer for 15 minutes and then proceed to dry the laundry. Tfs!
Karen Geter I like idea of lavender drops on the wooly balls. I’ll have to try that.
In guessing you run in empty dryer first to "cure" them., so it won't leave oil residue on fabric? ( I've heard of this step being important so I wanted to ask you since you seem to have experience with that......
Do you do this in high heat or medium to cure them ?
you have a very motherly nurturing vibe, nice video :)
Thank you for this video! I needed this information.
Yay!!! I'm so grateful for this! I love a soft fluffy towel!
Hi Carla, give it a try and let me know how well you like it.
Loved your video! Thanks for the tips!!
I'm just going through these videos I'm enjoying this home making content.
Vinegar🤔I’ll give it a go. Thank you Denise🤗💜
Thank you! I’m doing this right now
I love your channel!! I always learn something!! God bless!!
This was awesome, thank you so much!
Thank-you, Ms. Denise, for this helpful content. ♥️katie
Thanks for that I don't really AV any problems at the moment but I know who to ask now thankyou
Thanks so much for sharing Denise! I will give this a try.
around the house with cheryl Hey Cheryl, it’s always good to see a familiar face, which tip did you find most helpful?
@@homemakingwithdenise I had heard about vinegar before so I think that is a good tip.
I can really tell the difference between the towels washed with vinegar and without. Folding them as soon as they come out of the dryer makes a difference! THANK U SO MUCH!
Hi Lane, isn't it amazing how the little things can make a difference. Who knew that vinegar could do so much! I'm glad you tried this and could see for yourself.
@@homemakingwithdenise I could see it, feel it, and smell the difference...
Wow, glad I found this channel, subscribed!
Such great tips. That’s a great idea about using the bulk cycle for towels. I have always felt like there wasn’t enough water. Thanks for sharing!
Foodamentary: Adventures in Food This is funny but I have actually taken a flashlight to look into the washer to assess water level. If you’ve got a deep fill setting, you might even try that.
This and That with Denise Jordan a flashlight shows real dedication, lol! Thanks for sharing. 😁
Very informative thank you
New follower! I am in!! Now that we are home more we need to make our homes work better for us
Thanks for the tips :) I am defnitely going to do this :-) regards, Josh
Wow! Very informative. Tfs
Merry Ferrell Hi Merry, I am glad you found this video to be beneficial. And thank you for watching. What are your laundry dilemmas?
I need to do this for some of my towels - thanks for the tips!
Artsy Cupcake Hi’ya Cupcake, how are you? Try this technique...let me know how well it works for you.
Hello Denise hope you are doing well. Great tips on towels. Big Tx hugs from South Tx.
Thanks Maria. I'm doing well. Today was nice and I got out, visited family, and had an all around good day. How about you? I'm glad you liked this video. Do you have any laundry dilemmas I can address for you?
New subscriber here. Thank you for the great tips and you did a great job explaining them.
Subscribed! Thank you!
TFS. I also use baking soda in my wash is well and that also helps with odor
Hazel Thomas Baking soda makes perfect sense. That’s one of the reasons I like Arm and Hammer. The laundry comes out so fresh.
@@homemakingwithdenise ❤
Just tried it...IT WORKS!
I always thought you should wash towels and sheets with hot water! I'll be using cool water from now on! Thank you!
Thank tou Denise I’ll be using the vinegar tip for my towels, the stink comes back when I use them 😩 I usually use vinegar along with my detergent but I’ll try stripping them before when I do my next load.
Thank you!
Some of my towels are just plain old, but I’m going to try these tips when I’m at the laundromat. I’ll make sure to wash the towels separately, follow all the tips, and not use dryer sheets. I can’t wait to see how it works!
I have never tried vinegar for mouldy clothes or towels but I have used a tiny bit of bleach and has worked although I can understand if not everyone is keen on using it on their fabrics.
Thanks!
This is really useful, thanks for sharing.
Apryll Wil Hi Prilly, I am glad you liked it. One day...it’ll be you with a family and doing lots of laundry. These tips will come in handy. What are your laundry challenges?
@@homemakingwithdenise Thanks, even now they are handy but even more it the future I expect. My challenges are choosing the right detergent for my clothes especially since they are all made of different materials and I don't want any to be damaged.
Sounds good
Thanks for the vinegar idea😊
Thank you 😊
Great tips Denise, you always give great tips. How do you rate the Lysol and Clorox laundry sanitizers?
Hello any recommendations on good bath towels to buy? And should we use a washed fresh towel every time we bathe? Thanks
New subscriber!!
Thank you! This was so very helpful!😊
It's Just Prettier with Glitter I’m glad it was. I’m really trying to be of service to my young women and young wives. What are your laundry dilemmas?
@@homemakingwithdenise You are wonderful!! I was never taught these things... or anything related to keeping up with the home/cooking. It's a shame these things are overlooked. Sincere appreciation :)
@@teresachapman205 You are so welcome. What are your laundry dilemmas? What video can I make for you?
I use odorklenz for the odor, but I've always wondered how to make the towels fluffy like hotels. Thanks for the awesome tips Denise💕💕
Coffee With My Sunshine You are so welcome. The big thing to make them fluffy like hotels is after you launder as I suggested, don’t over dry and get them out of the dryer immediately. Then, give them a shake or a little snap to fluff up the fibers. Then fold and put away. This should prove helpful. Oh...and the dryer balls or tennis balls too, will help.
Denise, Thanks for this video!! What are your thoughts about using dryer sheets, like Bounce, Downy sheets, etc.? I'm mostly concerned about static. Thanks!!!
TYSM, I’m going to try washing my towels like you. I use vinegar as the softener but I normally wash in warm or hot water and a small amount of bleach. Never knew about washing the towels with just vinegar first then a normal wash with detergent, also washing them on the bulky cycle. Great tips!! 🥰
Hey @Jax Girl, keep in mind that this process is to be used to help strip the residue of detergent and softener out of the towels. Once you've done that, your daily or weekly washing process will be to use less detergent, use vinegar in the fabric softener bin, and dry them as needed but not too long. I don't want you to think you've got to do double washes every time!
@@homemakingwithdenise Got it! 😉
Make sure not to combine vinegar and bleach in the same load - those two chemicals will produce toxic gas when combined!
Two seconds in and I knew that Denise knew what was what. Thank you.
Yes, running the towels in a dryer makes them 'fluffy' from my experience because the fibers are stimulated as they dry, rather then being allowed to dry flat against the fabric so it ends up feeling like cardboard. However, this can be harsh on the fibers so perhaps using a hair-dryer might be a better option; although not something I've tried.
Denise your lovely. Thanks for your tips! Fan in Calif.
Oh my. Thank you Ann Marie. I’m glad you are a member of the family. What video can I make for you?
This and That with Denise Jordan oh would you have a video on cleaning and organizing jewelry?
hi another great live video you did a great job thumbs up shoutout to you thanks for sharing i enjoyed this a lot your channel is the greatest hope you have a great evening take care peace
Nicholas, thank you. Do you do your own laundry? What are your laundry dilemmas?
your welcome and yea i do my own laundry and i really enjoy it i never have a problem thanks for asking i really appreciate it see you next video
Hi I missed the live thanks for sharing
No worries, Ella. I appreciate you stopping by. What was the most helpful tip in the video?
I love your little scotty dog👍🏻❤️
I’m always amazed at how much attention my little Scottie gets. People just love him. Do you have a small dog?
This was so helpful Denise! ❤️ Can i use Apple Cider Vinegar (without the mother) to wash towels? or does it need to be white distilled vinegar? Thanks so much!
Excellent video, Denise. This is the first time I have seen you here.
I like the appearance of your well-organized laundry lab. I'm writing with a suggestion for you to consider. I see that you have a bin labeled "paper towels." There is a way to *STOP* using paper towels! If you have old and stained dish towels in your kitchen, use them instead of paper towels. I keep a drawer full of them in my kitchen. Then, when an old dish towel is used, I just put it aside until the next time I do a load of laundry.
An old dish towel or two will not take up much space in a load of laundry. And you can avoid buying paper towels altogether!
Using old towels is a good idea. I'm trying not to buy as many. Thanks for your suggestion.
I would love your ideas when to retire towels, sheets, ect. Can they be too old?
If your linens are starting to show signs of wear, thinning, shredding, holes, its time for them to be donated to the animal shelter. They always need old towels. If they are so hard they scratch your skin, get rid of them. This is what I did and it worked well for my family. I bought six sets of towels for the hubby and six sets for me and six sets for company (towel and wash cloth is a set). That's eighteen sets with a few extra washcloths. All my old ones, I donated. Since I do laundry every week I didn't need too many and eighteen sets is more than enough for a family of four.
Thank you Denise. I have know this but I swear I get discouraged and just throw so e fabric softener in there thinking it will come back to life and it doesn't. Do you have any info about adding baking soda?
What detergent do you recommend for towels? Thank you
Would this work in any cotton clothing? I have this exact problem but with a sweatshirt
Any clothes this will work for? Thank you!
I like my towel fluffy! I give you a like and comment too.
Can i do this with other stuff like robes, sweatshirts, sweatpants?
Do you put the vinegar in the detergent area of in the fabricsoftener area?
Thanks for info
You are so welcome, Susan. What are your laundry dilemmas? What video can I make for you?
Gkgfhhhv has a lot of
New Sub!❤
Very informative!! TGS👋
Cotton Candy I’m glad this was good info. What are your laundry dilemmas?
Hello, I have 2 questions. Why do you recommend cool water instead of hot. And, if I have older towels, that have been crunchy for awhile, is there any hope of getting them soft again. We followed your instructions one time, and they don't feel much better. Thanks.
would you use vinegar every time you wash towels? do you use baking soda?
Is spirit (white) vinegar ok to use?
Hello Denise!
Love the video, teaching myself necessary skills as a college student. However, the nature of being a poor college student, the amount of money I spend using the washer adds up over time. Would it be fine to add the vinegar with the detergent in just one load? Also, is there any point to use a steamer on my towels? All the best
Hi Andrew, oh...I totally get it. You can just add the vinegar in the rinse cycle in the place of fabric softener and that should do the trick. In this video, I'm telling how to rid some of the build up first and then addressing the stiffness. Just start using vinegar in the rinse cycle instead of softener and you should see the difference.
When i use a towel to dry myself i have lint from the towel. I`m i washing it wrong?
I always sprinkle my towels with baking soda and rinse with vinegar. Super soft towels. Thanks for the information.
Hi do you do this before putting them in the washer
@@carolineowino5091 Yes. And the white vinegar goes in the fabric softener cup.
Thank you, how much is sprinkle per say two towels ? A cup ? Or it doesn't matter
@@carolineowino5091 1 Tablespoon or a little less for 2 towels.
I just reread this. No, I put the baking soda on the towels when they are in the washer, before washing them. :)
Thank you great video been washing my towel incorrectly. now is the second wash with cold water as well?
The second wash can be warm or cold. It’s your choice.
Why cold?
So wash first with detergent then wash again but with white vinegar? Would just plain white vinegar with no mention of "distilled"on label do?Pls reply
Giving this a try right now!
Sparkus Clark Great. Let me know how it works out for you,
How did it work out? Did it soften your towels?
@@homemakingwithdenise I honestly noticed little difference between the vinegar and the regular wash. Which means it worked better than I would have thought vinegar would have. Was also surprised that it didn't leave a smell behind.
Upside is that it helps put less bleach into my septic tank.
Downside is that running the wash twice per set of towels is not great when you live on a well system in a drought.
See my response to Denise above.
Hello! Great video thank you!
What if we don’t use a dryer? I hang everything and they dry inside the house, then i iron. How should i treat my towels then?
You can do the same thing for the towels once you've stripped the reside from them. On a weekly basis when you wash them, I'd try adding baking soda to the wash water. That should help with the softening. Give them a good snap when you hang them close to the fire or where ever you put them. That will disrupt the fibers and fluff them up a bit.
Love this video thank you! Where did you get that cute dog on the counter?
Girl, where does one get almost everything? Hobby Lobby. It was one of their Christmas items. They had several different ones and I'll bet they come in again this year.
Great video! I do use vinegar to get rid of smells in my laundry and that works great. My problem is my sheets and towels get a stale smell after a while in linen closet. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.
Can put a little dish or pouch of baking soda with some essential oil. Or sometimes I put a bar of soap in the corner it leaves a nice smell.
Love the bar of soap idea. I use a dryer sheet. Just place it in the drawer or cabinet with your clothing to keep them smelling fresh.
I’ve been using distilled water vinegar and wool dryer balls for about a month now. Here are my thoughts. The vinegar does a great job getting odors out. The wool balls seem to do well with static, although I live in Florida so static really isn’t a problem. As far as softness, no way. My clothes and towels are so rough and scratchy feeling now. I think I’m going to go back to softer. I’ll use less of it and maybe alternate with the vinegar, but I really do miss my soft laundry.
try using 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda on top of the towels when you put them in the washer, before washing.
Cool water is what temperature?
Thanks and you are one beautiful woman! One additional benefit of vinegar is it great for your plumbing drains and will remove odors from your washing machine while descaling it.
Now I like that added benefit. I hadn't put any thought into the descaling but I will be sure to mention it from here on out.
I live in an apt. and use coin machines so i can't regulate water and cycles. Thank you for your time.
Now how do I get them bright white, because bleach doesn't do it or Oxyclean. Once the heat from the dryer heat the towels they turn yellow from the laundering with bleach.
Where can I find those hanging racks that you use for your towels! Thank you so much for your helpful advice!
If you mean the large rack behind me I think we got that at Lowes. Smaller drying racks I’ve found on Amazon and have some in my Amazon store.
Hi Denise years ago an older woman told me ammonia softens the towels but I cannot remember if she put it in the wash or rinse😆
Jaye Johnson Well, Jaye, Ill check that out. I’ve got some lemon scented ammonia, my guess it’s in the wash cycle but let me verify this. Thanks for the question.
the British use sudsing ammonia for washing their wools...they never "dry clean"...sudsing ammonia will take the chemicals of detergents out of the fibers....like Dawn removes the "build up" of shampoos..... follow directions....probably no more then a 1/2 C. Borax also works well to clean out chemical build up in all laundry.....the things our grand mothers used before all the money scents took over the market.
as far as washing wool...best to use your regular shampoo and conditioner...wool is just hair....just lay it flat to air dry...the heat from the dryer will shrink the item...and it goes without saying...cold to warmish water, never hot.
What detergent are you using? Can you suggest me a good detergent please? 😁
Hi, what do you suggest if i'm using a coin operated washing machine and i can't add something to the rinse cycle? Also, you mentioned not overusing detergent. Would you say the instructions on the laundry bottle are accurate? Or should i use less? Thanks!
Hi Kate, if you are using a coin operated washing machine, put your vinegar in your fabric softener bin. You can add that at the beginning before you start the wash. The laundry instructions on the bottle are accurate. So many people add more. They figure if one is good two is better...that kind of thing. What other homekeeping or homemaking challenges do you have? How can I help you?
thanks im new here..
