On this week’s episode, Diana chats with laundry expert and author Melissa Dilkes Pateras all about laundry myths, best practices, and so much more. 

You can find her on TikTok here: Laundrytok | Melissa Pateras (@melissadilkespateras) Official | TikTok

You can find her new book here: A Dirty Guide to a Clean Home: Housekeeping Hacks You Can't Live Without

In this episode, we cover:

Homemade laundry detergent is not effective and can damage your washing machine. The guest explained that commercial detergents are specifically formulated for high-efficiency machines and properly cleaning clothes. Homemade detergents often do not clean well and leave residue on clothes. As the host said, “Homemade laundry detergent is often not effective and can leave residue on your clothes. It's best to stick with commercial detergents that are specifically formulated for high-efficiency machines.”

1. Look for natural, eco-friendly detergent options if you want to avoid harsh chemicals. Many major brands like Tide and Persil offer fragrance-free, dye-free options that work well. Check the ingredients to find simple, natural options.
   
   
2. For most stains, pretreat with liquid laundry detergent and let it sit before washing. Dish soap like Dawn also works great for grease and oil stains. Hydrogen peroxide is excellent for whitening and brightening stains on white clothes. These methods avoid the need for most commercial stain removers. As the host recommended, “For most stains, pretreat with liquid laundry detergent and let it sit before washing. Dish soap like Dawn also works great for grease and oil stains.”
   
   
3. Hot water is not necessary for most loads and can fade and damage clothes. Use cold water for the majority of loads to prolong the life of your clothes. Hot water is only needed for whites and when using oxygen bleach. According to the host, “Hot water is not necessary for most loads and can fade and damage clothes. Use cold water for the majority of loads to prolong the life of your clothes.”
   
   
4. Disinfecting and sanitizing clothing is usually unnecessary and the products are often used incorrectly. Only disinfect when someone in the household is ill. Be sure to follow the directions carefully regarding water temperature, sit time, and rinsing. For general cleaning, hot water and detergent are sufficient. As the host explained, “Disinfecting and sanitizing clothing is usually unnecessary and the products are often used incorrectly. Only disinfect when someone in the household is ill.”

The Decluttered Mom’s Instagram account has steadily grown over the past five years to almost 140,000 followers, which is mindblowing! Instagram is a creative outlet for Diana that she enjoys. It’s also where she connects with all of you in stories, reels, and comments. And she loves connecting with this community in her DMs.

There is success in having an Instagram Reel go “viral” in that more moms can find The Decluttered Mom, relate to the content, and get some tips on how to make their lives easier. However, it can become negative and draining when those viral reels reach people that aren’t the target audience.

In this episode, Diana shares a new process she’s implementing to protect her energy while continuing to communicate with this community.

This episode is longer than usual, and the topic is a little different than a typical episode, but Diana wants to share an important lesson that was helpful in her life.

It’s really tempting to stay in our comfort zone, especially in the past few years, and not add anxiety, worry, or fear to our lives. Diana was told years ago by business coach James Wedmore, “Growth happens out of your comfort zone.” Challenging yourself to be okay with being uncomfortable, whether with something big or little, once a month or once a year, can help you grow. We all want to grow, whether in a business, personally, in parenting, or marriage. Try and think of an area in your life where you can take a tiny uncomfortable step and just sit it in for a while and see how it feels.

In this episode, Diana shares times when she went out of her comfort zone in order to grow.

We’ll also discuss:

• Learn more about Diana’s story in Ep001: Meet Diana Rene
• What Diana did at the beginning of creating ‘The Decluttered Mom’ to grow so she could better support moms with her business
• Diana talks about a significant investment she made early on in her business and how it led to a recent opportunity
• How being accepted to a mastermind group for a business forced Diana out of her comfort zone

If your kids' clothes seem to multiply overnight and you're tired of the daily battle with outgrown t-shirts and “never-gonna-wear-it” dresses, THIS episode is for you. 

Diana keeps it super real (and super simple!) with a quick, low-stress method to finally get a handle on all those clothes buried in the back of your children’s closets.

Here’s what you’ll take away in just a few minutes:

• The super-easy, “how-did-I-not-try-this-before” bin hack that stops clothing clutter before it starts.
• Exactly what to do with clothes your kids outgrow halfway through the week (including those random pieces they always ignore).
• Smart tips for storing future hand-me-downs or those seasonal items you’re saving for next year.
• Why you only need a few minutes—seriously, you’re just piggybacking on laundry or school-night routines!

Whether you have a walk-in closet or just a sliver of space, Diana’s approach will clear your mind and your floors. 

**Tune in now and get ready for that “ahhhh” feeling the next time you open the closet door!
