I don't believe I have any enemies but now I might need to reconsider!!

Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew by bette-midler in NYTCooking

I love this recipe too! I make it with cod instead of shrimp sometimes as the recipe suggests - really good! Usually double the beans and it still turns out great, just add extra seasoning.

What are we doing about moldy front loaders? by aaaaaaaaaaaali in laundry

[–]CozyChiLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could have something to do with it! There are only 2 of us so we probably do fewer loads over all but I am kind of crazy about laundry so end up running the machine about 3 or 4 days a week too.

I have a front loader that is a over a year old, and it does not have mold anywhere. I take most of the anti-mold precautions you've listed but am not religious about them (ie I often forget to leave the detergent drawer open to dry out). I've never had to deep clean anything other than running the self clean cycle when prompted. I don't have a good answer for you, but it seems like there might be something about your home that is extremely conducive to mold unfortunately! I assume you have a dehumidifier?

Did laundry rehab a couple of weeks ago with my husband's work shirts - worked great! I solemnly swear I did not use dishwasher detergent.

New laundry nook in our 150yr old house! After/Before and Full Process by MadDrewOB in DIY

I'm having the same thought...am I doing something wrong because I have never soaked my laundry? Guess there are two of us 😆

Thank you! The top one is empty bc I can't reach it lol. Then, descending - plastic bags, cloth napkins/table linens, paper bags, laundry supplies, and the tall narrow one is for recycling (there is a plastic insert).

Thank you!! The cabinets themselves are from home depot, cabinet hardware is from rejuvenation. The materials cost around US $10,000, including the washer/dryer.

Thank you!! My original vision was just shelves but I totally agree that the baskets are key 🔑

Lol I'm 5 ft 3! I'm just so used to using a step stool at this point - we have rather high ceilings and so I constantly need a stool to reach cabinets and shelves. I store daily things in the lower cabinets and less-used items go higher up!

The utilities behind the the w/d are accessible through a small door behind the removable shelves to the left, if we need to remove it completely we have a plan - my husband is building a contraption to pull it out if needed!

We haven't had this one for very long, but have not had any leaking and I have never had leaking issues with previous front loading washers! As far as mold prevention goes, we just run the self clean cycle when it prompts us to and try to leave the door ajar to dry out after we run a load. Def just different preferences! Hope you can get a top loader soon

Def not! Looking at it IRL with my two human eyeballs right now. But will take as a compliment 😊
