I find your home charming, adorable and refreshing! I love your decorating style and I definitely adore how you have made this house your own.

Wow, the canopy bed is amazing.

In the past, it has been suggested running an empty cycle with hot water filled with a bottle of white vinegar to eliminate soapy residue. In the perfect world, I would do that every time I wash. I, unfortunately, live in the real world where it costs me $1.50 to wash clothes and after a while that starts adding up.
So, my question is this: to get rid of the any laundry detergent, is it a good idea to just wipe the inside of a washing machine with a wash cloth that has been soaked in a water/vinegar solution or does filling a downy ball with vinegar eliminate any dirt left inside?

Thanks for the tip, stegersaurus. I think I'll actually try wiping the inside of a washing machine with either a microfiber or wipes.
I have also started air drying some of my clothes -mostly sweaters and hand washables- on my drying rack which has surprisingly saved me from using a dryer several times. Yet, I have not been able to wean myself off of dryers. Hopefully one day I'll get there.
