For example, if you’re organizing deep shelves in a linen closet, try dedicating 1 shelf to blankets, 1 to sheets, and 1 to towels. Then, stack the blankets, sheets, and towels that you use most frequently on the front half of their respective shelves. Stack the blankets, sheets, and towels that you seldom use on the back half of each shelf. Even if you’re not using plastic containers to organize your deep shelves, you can still organize them to be tidy and efficient. When organizing a pantry or kitchen cabinet, store similar types of food on the same shelf. Dedicate 1 shelf to pasta and rice, 1 to breads, and 1 to snacks and canned goods. Place items that you’ll use more often at the front of the shelves, and items that you seldom cook with on the rear half of the shelves. So, the front half of a shelf could be filled with canned goods, rice, and pasta. The back half of the same shelf could contain oatmeal, grits, cornbread, and cake mixes. Linens, including bath and beach towels, quilts, and blankets, can be folded into thirds and rolled up. Then, stack 3 or 4 towels or quilts on top of each other on your closet shelves. Rolled and stacked linens will take up less space and look tidier than linens that have only been folded. Rolling linens will also make it easier to re-arrange linens seasonally. Each spring, move the heavy quilts and blankets to the back half of the deep closet shelf, and pull cotton sheets, light blankets, and beach towels to the front half of the shelves. To free up shelf space in your closet, install a rod at the top of the closet. Use the rod to hang small items, including jewelry, shorts, and skirts. You can also drape seasonal items over the closet rod when needed, including winter gloves and scarves. Hanging rods can be purchased at most large hardware stores and at home-supply stores. People often feel anxious about filling every possible inch of a shelf, simply because it’s open storage space. However, there’s nothing wrong with leaving the back half of a shelf empty if you simply don’t have supplies to put on it. Or, deliberately leave half of a deep shelf empty. Use this space to store miscellaneous items that you don’t currently have a permanent storage space for.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: White distilled vinegar works as both a stain remover and a fabric softener when added to a laundry load. Simply pour 0.25 cups (59 mL) of vinegar into your washing machine during the rinse cycle to clean and soften your stained white clothes.  Avoid using vinegar in your laundry along with chlorine bleach, since this combination will produce fumes that can be harmful to breathe. Note that using vinegar in the laundry may harm clothes made of silk, acetate, or rayon. This will not only get rid of stains, but will also give your clothes a nice lemony smell. Add 1 cup (240 mL) of the lemon juice to your laundry along with your detergent, then wash as normal. Don’t use lemon juice with colored clothing, since it may accidentally bleach them. Toothpaste has a number of surprising uses besides brushing your teeth, one of which is removing stains from clothing. Wet your clothing, then use an old toothbrush to apply a thin layer of white toothpaste to the stained area. Scrub the stain vigorously for about 30 seconds, then rinse the clothing in water.  For the best results on white clothing, use a toothpaste with whitening properties. Avoid using colored toothpaste, since this may actually stain your white clothes even worse! The toothpaste method typically works well on cotton clothes, although it may not work on other fabrics.

SUMMARY:
Add vinegar to your laundry to both remove stains and soften fabric. Try adding lemon juice to your laundry with your detergent. Scrub cotton clothes with white toothpaste before washing them.
