We then put the clothes in the dryer (on no heat setting)to soften up a bit. Works like magic and our electric bill is really low. Plus, i have lot's of hot water leftover to fill my birthing pool with so i can relax before this baby comes (details on my impending water birth at JulianArts.com) And just like nicole, this post reminded me that i need to run a load!

You have set my mind at ease because I generally wash EVERYTHING in cold water, but then worry that it's not getting clean enough. I've been enjoying your blog for the last few weeks and think you will be a great addition to Blogher! What a wonderful tip!
