This is super!!! I know you cant wash waterproof mattress protectors and plastic rain coats, but I just cant imagine not being able to wash padds.....people use those under patients, and I know they dont do all that I am doing to get them clean and smelling great....
And where do you get these Affresh tablets? I am using the Tide HE pods, and I also have Tide Boost pods that I THINK act like a borax to brighten colors and whiten brite whites...? Your borax is powder or does it come in pods too.....I have a HORRIBLE addiction with SUDS and FOAM....I MUST see tons of it or it just isnt getting clean....I love the pods because I drop in one pod, put the clothes in close the lid, set the machine, and leave the room.....I "see" the suds in my imagination so I am happy!
Also......do you use dryer sheets in your dryer? Another addiction.....wonderful smells!!! I love to take my clothes/sheets/towels out of the dryer and bury my face in them and smell those GREAT scents! Thank God I do not have to go through my life with solutions that have no smell or are fragrance free!
