    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 Год назад +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 Год назад +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! 🥰

    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.

    Ahhhh, it was so close, when I went to the US many years ago we fell in love with Target, we got so much stuff we had to buy another suitcase and pay additional money, we also went to a lovely children clothing shop my youngest was six and we got him enough clothes for home until he was twelve, my eldest son fell in love with Abercrombie for kids and I purchased loads of hoodies from Abercrombie and Fitch! 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! I am always looking out for videos in Target, it is my favourite store, my boys loved it as well. So if anyone goes to there please can you put it online, I love Alicia, such an amazing mum and woman!

    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 …

    You need a few industrial sized laundry bags like the ones they use in hotels for bedding to transport the clothes and a maybe a a wheel cart of some kind to carry the bag. Also a tip I’ve learned for when you realise you haven’t eaten anything is to always have a musli bar or protein bar close by. I put a handful in my bag that I take everywhere and a hidden handful in the glovebox in the car. It helps because if I’m in an overwhelming situation and need a comfort food or don’t have the ability to order food I always have something filling and easy to eat on me ☺️. Anyways you’re an amazing mum and I think that’s awesome 😀.

    Goodness as much as I don’t like doing laundry. I can’t imagine having all this to do in one day !!! Bless you … Y’all should add a laundry room with a couple washers and dryers so you can do laundry at home !! You are such a great mom . Love watching your channel

      They are not washing at home due to septic tank issues.

      She has a washer and dryer. Their septic tank is messed up, and they are waiting to get hooked up to the city's waste system. There is a huge backlog due to COVID and the supply chain.

    I come from a large family too. Growing up in Idaho. This is back in the mid 70’s. Me and my older sister used to do them at the laundry mat too. My mom would help some times. She had a full time job too so that’s why I say sometimes. I loved doing laundry back then, just because we don’t have to stay home and put up with my brothers. It took all day to do laundry. Now having my own family I took my kids with me and they all help and much faster. & as they got older they’ve been wanting to do their own laundry. I’m glad they learned.

    Fun going on errands with you !! The laundry mat is super inconvenient for you but you carry on and do what you have to do with a good attitude.

    And the fact you take the time to FILM IT ALL!! you’re amazing. Like so many others you’ve also inspired me. Even though I still sit around too much and let things go unattended for too long 😭 I’ve watched your channel go from the beginning to what it is now and you deserve every bit of it!

      Its her job to film it,how do you think she's able to pay for all the cr@p that she buys? it's by selling her kids privacy on the internet

      @@KeeHart she shows more of herself doing everything then her kids. I don’t think she’s a sellout. Unless you’ve recorded yourself doing all the things, changing angles, editing, uploading, coming up with ideas, you can’t judge anyone. don’t judge a family trying to make ends meet. I realize it’s her job. But it’s one heck of a job to do mentally and physically while caring for 12 kids. And she deserves it. She works hard as heck for it.

      She was doing it before she filmed it all. Add filming it on top of everything she does. It’s definitely not something everyone can do. Hence the keyboard trolls judging people who earn an income from social media.

    Hi I'm a momma of many also and when I use the laundrette I pop the powder and pay as I put it in the machine's as I've got the last one the first machine is usually ready for the dryer then as I've popped it all in the dryer the first one is usually done ready to fold, hope this helps.

    Gain is my go to laundry detergent. Dryer sheets too. Tide makes my family “itchy”. It costs more, but it does the job, and makes your clothes smell good tool.
