Washing with Pride!

My preschooler is unstoppable these days. He would roll, run, hop, climb and ride his bike in every given opportunity. I allow him to have active play because I know it will help him build strong bones and muscles. But alongside, it means a whole lot of washing! I know you know can imagine the number of loads we do at home in a week!

Kyle’s play clothes are mostly whites. When you visit him at home in any ordinary day, chances are, you would see him wearing a pair of white cotton shirt and shorts. Some say that I should have him wear dark colored clothes at this stage because he is active and that his white clothes easily get soiled but I actually like to notice it outright when it’s already time to change. And for his going-out clothes? I like them bright and colored!

In occasions that our helper couldn’t do the laundry (because she’s on a stay-out setup and sometimes doesn’t have enough time during the day), I try to squeeze in washing clothes after work (I don’t like to see piles of dirty clothes, that’s why!). It’s quite a challenge for me though because I have a full-time day job and that I usually spend my after-work hours cooking for our dinner, teaching my son, checking on Alex’s needs and so on; hence doing the laundry in the middle of the week has to be done fast, but without compromising the quality of course.

Except for the delicate clothes that require hand wash, I use our washing machine. Buti na lang may washing machine no? I like trying different brands of detergent, and it’s only t this week that I tried to use Pride Powerwash. It’s cheaper than the previous brands I use, pero malinis at mabango ang laba ha!
