    I don't count but maybe 10ish. All depends on the brush. I watch for water to stop coming out. My mirros have never been so clean since I strated this either. Added bonus of wet shaving :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Then you buy a new washing machine after every load of whites?

    Sure we all buy new washers after every load of whites in the US . that way we never have any left over bleach in the bottom for our next load of colors. Doesnt everybody do that??

    Nah, we just turn the drum inside-out for the next load. All the bleach remnants get flung off due to centrifugal force.

    Bleach in the wash? I haven't done that in 20 years. I only use bleach to sanitize the front loader every now and then. Most modern detergents do a great job on whites as is.

    2. I don't like the way she puts the top sheet on the bed.
    3. She cleans the dryer filter before a new load and not after.
