Clean the shirts on their backs by putting one on yours.
The putrid piles of
clothing in my house are proof
of this one truth: I
hate doing laundry.
But at least I have the means.
Some out there do not.
The term that is used
is “natural disaster.”
I’m sure the victims
feel anything but
natural picking up the
pieces of their lives.
I have not suffered
severe destruction but
just thinking about
the devastation
after floods, hurricanes, and
twisters, I shudder.
At such desperate
times, I can imagine that
all help is welcome.
Tide is offering
practical help to those who
need it in this way:
You buy a shirt here;
proceeds provide clothes cleaning
service for victims.
So now even if
I am not cleaning my own
family’s clothing…
I can take comfort
in knowing that I’m helping
clean laundry elsewhere.

You know, I can see you wearing that retro tee. It strikes me as your kind of thing. The irony would be the icing on the cake.

Nice job! I was trying to decide how to tackle this issue after the email from BlogHer. You totally win the prize on creativity. No surprise there, though.
BTW, I hate, hate, hate laundry, too. I don’t mind the washing and drying part. Just the pre-sorting and post-folding. HATE IT.

How is it that the entire blogosphere is capable of composing haikus?
You should see how difficult it is for me to make a limerick, much less start counting syllables.

I honestly love doing laundry as sad as that sounds, its probably my favorite chore. I love having a closet and dresser full of clean and good smelling clothes!
Cute ‘ku!

I hate laundry and dishes and toilet cleaning! (and shower cleaning but I already ‘fessed that)
The sad thing is is the phenomena of clean clothes, there is ALWAYS something dirty. You never catch up..ever!!!!

I don’t mind doing the laundry, it is folding it and hiking it out the basement that I hate. And my basement is all nice-not a creepy dungeon basement you would expect in a near 100 year old house.

Ive read about what Tide is doing for the diaster victims and I think it is awesome!
I have a washer and dryer .. even if it is like 16 years old (NO JOKE) .. it has served my family of 7 well since it was given to us (for free) almost 3 years ago.
Usually all I have to do is remember the days when I had to haul 7 peoples worth of clothes to the laundry mat (in a blizzard!) and POOF .. laundry becomes my favorite thing to do. Just.Like.That.
Thanks for posting this Lotus .. I’ll be sure to link to it too ..

I’ve been reading so much lately about this most humanitarian of services that Tide provides. No one wants to run around in horribly smelly and dirty clothing; it must be comforting that while chaos reigns all around, once can put on a clean-smelling t-shirt fresh from the dryer and know that at least a little bit of order has been restored.
Happy Friday,
