It also takes the smell out of musty washing machines and clothes that went into the bottom of the hamper all wet and stayed there for 2 days. (Why yes, I do have boys!)

Heaven forbid if we were to use the wrong plastic storage container for the wrong item! Oh, the Rules, Rules, Rules, Rules!! It brought my SIL (who lived near Mom) and me incredible pleasure to toss those old plastic containers into the garbage. (The first thing my nephews did at that house after grandma died was slide down the carpeted stairs. They had been yelled at if they went up and down them ON THEIR FEET more than twice in a visit.)Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16705613736966783261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-13209456141109132862012-07-11T18:13:15.431-04:002012-07-11T18:13:15.431-04:00When my friend moved out of state she gave me a to...When my friend moved out of state she gave me a ton of stuff.
