When I did buy new I had to wash it first anyway I can’t stand that smell. I’ve washed everything before I wear anything. I like consignment stores furniture I figured if they lasted this long great furniture. New furniture is all particle board may last a week??? Love shopping second or fourth hand.

Thanks for the super tips, Meggie! I make the same detergent, but I use bars of Bronner’s lavender soap instead of the Fels. Love the extra (very gentle) scent.

Thanks for sharing! I love thrifting and when I tell friends, a lot of them think it's "cheap" and that they prefer new clothing. That being said, thrifting isn't for everyone but if you try- you can usually find ways to repurpose old items to keep them out of waste land fills and protect our environment. On the note of disinfecting- I get my home sanitized and protected against germs every 3 months which helps my family stay safe & healthy! Highly recommend!

Great tips Meggie. I really liked the vinegar one to get the smell out of clothes. I've bought a lot of furniture from thrift shops in my day. I've tried a few DIY methods to get it cleaned but I really think the best thing to do is get it professionally cleaned. It's still quite a bit cheaper than buying new furniture and it's nice to know that it really is clean. I personally use San Juan County Chem-Dry's upholstery service. They're speedy, affordable, and reliable. I would recommend them to anybody in Farmington.

For ultimate multi-tasking, start the dishwasher + laundry first, then clean the misc while those are running. Everything will be done around the same time and can be put away! 🙂
