Home-Ec Hacks: How to Get Wad-free Sheets Every Time

Wad-free sheets - LORAFIED
Stop The Wad! Dryer balls, a special gadget? Which do you really need? With these laundry hacks you’ll have wad free sheets every time!

LORAfied Laundry Hacks ?

Your first option is to wash sheets one at a time…

A better answer is in your garage! Adding balls keeps things moving around, reducing that body. The presence of the balls help to create more heat which leads to faster drying. They also help to soften!

You can also try rubber or wool balls to get the same result.

Anotehr option? Wad-free for Bed Sheets. Connect them in each corner of your sheet. I took the time to install it once – my favorite method is the tennis balls!

I ran to 7/11 and grabbed their large iced mocha, which tastes exactly like the Starbucks Frappuccino! The best part? It’s only $2!

I poured mine inside this cordless blender, and it fits right in your cup holder so you can drink it on the go. This blender is the key to turning your iced coffee into a Frappuccino!

Home-Ec Hacks: Dishwasher Tips to Load and Unload Faster

Hme-Ec Hacks - Dishwasher Tips - LorafiedDo you struggle with loading and unloading the dishwasher? Are you looking for more efficient ways to get it done? Then these dishwasher tips are for you!

LORAfied Dishwasher Tips ?

Always load back to front. That’ll be more efficient as the day goes on. If you can, turn your coffee cup at an angle. That’ll stop the dreaded bottom drip.

Bowls fit best on the top rack. On the bottom, face items toward the middle.

For flatware, categorize on the front end. Separating them may take a little getting used to but when you’re unloading, you’re going to love it.

When you’re ready to unload, start with the bottom first. This keeps plates dry just in case there’s anything on top full of water! Putting dishes away in groups also helps speed things up.

Here’s Why I Always Bake with Parchment Paper

Parchment Paper Kitchen tips - lorafiedMany of you have asked why I always bake with parchment paper. In this post, I’m going to share a few tips and reasons why!

One of the main reasons I use parchment paper is for health. If you’re heating anything, even on pans that say they’re non-toxic, the paper will create a nice little barrier. You don’t want anything from your baking sheets leeching into your food and at least this way, you can be sure your food isn’t touching any chemicals.

Bonus tip: Make sure you’re using unbleached parchment paper. It has no toxins at all and it’s super safe to heat. Plus, it can be composted!
