How to Use Downy Hypoallergenic for Automatic and Semi Automatic Washing Machine

How to Use Downy Hypoallergenic for Automatic Washing Machine? and how about Semi Automatic Washing Machine?

I never thought I will ever have this kind of problem in life.. not until my mom prompted me to buy a semi automatic washing machine. The idea behind buying a semi automatic washing machine is to teach the kids how to do the laundry without being intimidated by our big automatic washing machine.

Related topic: Downy Hypoallergenic Review

We have been using an 11 kg washing machine and my mother thinks it is a bit big for the kids. They say mothers know best, kaya sundin si mother.

So first, let me give you a quick talk about semi automatic washing machine vs automatic washing machine and their main difference.

With semi, you don’t do the washing but you need to operate it step by step. So it’s like someone is doing it for you but you’re guiding them. That’s why it’s called semi automatic.

Automatic washing machine on the hand, when it’s done, all you need to do is dry it or in some washing machine that has a built in dryer, you just have to fold it.

Sweet no? So when and how do you put Downy Hypoallergenic? And why use Downy Hypoallergenic for automatic washing machine?

Siguro iniisip nyo pang baby lang naman ang Downy Hypoallergenic, and it is easier to wash baby clothes on smaller washing machine o kaya hand wash, why use it sa automatic washing machine? Because you can also use Downy Hypoallergenic on your beddings, on your clothes, and towels. Downy Hypoallergenic is dermatologically tested with 0% dyes and 0% din ang added preservatives. Safe to use sa kahit anong damit. And we wash our towels sa automatic washing machine.

How to use it with automatic washing machine? Most automatic washing machine has a fabric conditioner dispenser. You put the Downy Hypoallergenic at the dispenser before starting a cycle. The washing machine is programmed to release the fabric conditioner during rinse time.

For semi automatic washing machine, we put Downy Hypoallergenic during the last rinse cycle. For better effect, spin dry the clothes first while putting water into the tub, pour the required amount of Downy Hypoallergenic (please read the back package for instruction). Start the washing machine and put the clothes back for the last rinse.

Based on our experience Downy Hypoallergenic works well in both washing machine. You just have to read and follow the instruction from the back.

Downy Hypoallergenic is now available in leading supermarkets but with our current situation now, we’re our buying ours from Downy Official Online store in Lazada: Downy Hypoallergenic Official Store

Downy Hypoallergenic comes in 5 sizes (23 ml, 36 ml, 690 ml, 1380 ml, and 800 ml). I recommend you buying the 800ml bottle then just buy the 1380 ml refill the next time you need it. The bottle cap is very useful when measuring how much Downy Hypoallergenic you need to put in your laundry.

Downy Hypoallergenic Review

What will make you love a certain product? Or what will make you trust a certain brand? Based on my experience, I really have to try it first before I can say na it is really something worth my money and worth sharing to my followers. So when I heard that Downy Philippines launched Downy Hypoallergenic, dapat talaga ma try ko muna before I make a review of it.

I have always thought that fabcon is harsh for Marius skin. So as much as possible, we try not to put fabcon on his clothes. I feel like the strong smell of fabcon can irritate his skin and his nose.

So what made me try using Downy Hypoallergenic? Eh kase naman this is the first time that I’ve seen a FabCon that is dermatologically tested with 0% dyes and 0% din ang added preservatives. So it makes me wonder, oka kaya talaga? And the smell, I hope it is not too much for us.

Initial reaction when I first saw Downy Hypoallergenic.. ang angelic niya tingan. The white packaging with hints of pink and blue somehow tells that yes it is safe to use for the baby.

The color of the product itself is white giving me assurance that it really has 0% dyes.

How was the smell? It’s actually light. My main concern na baka the smell will irritate my baby’s noise is tackled. The smell is powdery but very light. Parang baby lang na bagong ligo. It actually reminds me of being fresh.

I was surprised how soft it made Marius clothes with a fresh feel to it. Baby na baby ang dating ng amoy for me. And because Downy Hypoallergenic is dermatologically tested with 0% dyes and added preservatives, alam ko na safe to use sa mga damit ni Marius.

What surprised me the most is how it felt when I used it with our towels and beddings. The smell that I have been looking for my bed is this. This is the kind of smell that I want to sleep with.

Final Verdict on Downy Hypoallergenic: ADD TO CART NA. Downy Hypoallergenic is now included on our laundry grocery list.   And I know that with our current situation, buying groceries can be a bit challenging, kaya we opt to buy some of our groceries online.

For Downy Hypoallergenic, this is the link of their official online store where you can buy it: Downy Hypoallergenic Official Store

3 Tried And Tested Food Storage Solution During Quarantine

Kumusta? The enhanced community quarantine posed a problem to us in terms of food storage. I know some of you can relate to the question of “How you can store food to make it last you longer than usual?” or “what is the best Food Storage Solution During Quarantine?” We can’t go out as much as we want to right? So, we try to buy as much as we can when we have the chance – without panic buying either. The problem is, how can we store them properly? How about the vegetables? How can we preserve them? How about meat and other food that needs to be frozen? Paano eh ang liit ng freezer mo?

So, I am sharing with you our tried and tested food storage solutions sa panahon ng quarantine. This is what we have been doing for the past few days. As you all know, we are 8 in the family, kaya malaki talaga ang food consumption namin.

3 Tried And Tested Food Storage Solution During Quarantine

List the dry goods that you can buy in bulk. Here are some of the things that can really last long even if you just leave them in a corner:

rice
onion and garlic
monggo
sardines
misua
salt and pepper
sugar and coffee
flour
other canned goods such as mushroom, corn
gata in packs
pasta and spaghetti sauce
packaged cookies
bottled bread spreads
powdered beverages

Storage solution for your vegetables: pickle them or blanch them. For us, the best option for vegetables like kangkong or talbos ng kamote and other leafy vegetables is to blanch them. Blanching also works for vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli. For vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper, it is ok to leave them inside the vegetable chiller for a week or more.

Pickling is best for leafy vegetables like mustasa. We bought 5 kg mustasa and pickled them. In 3 days, the mustasa is good to cook with tomato. Pickled mustasa can last for a long period of time.

Use a sealable plastic bag for your frozen meat. Honestly, this is the most challenging part for me. Imagine, having to store 10 or more kilos of meat in our freezer. Malaki naman yung freezer pero hindi talaga kasya if I use yung mga plastic containers namin. Then I remembered how it was noong maliit pa yung ref namin. I used sealable plastic bags for our frozen meats back then!

The photo above is how our ref looked back then! Medyo malaki na din pamilya namin nyan pero hindi pa malakas kumain ang mga bata noon. And this is how our freezer looks now with the same sealable plastic bag:

That’s a lot of meat in one photo. Akalain mong nagkasya yan sa isang compartment lang ng freezer. Each sealable plastic bag contains 1 kg of meat, except for those folded in half, which I think is only half a kilo of meat.

I think this is the best storage solution for meat in our freezer. Sealable plastic bags are easy to use, space savers, and most of all reusable.

In the weeks leading up to the quarantine, there were a lot of discussions about banning plastic. That maybe we don’t need plastic in our lives. Pero you know what I realized, there are some plastic I can live without – like ung mga single use items like coffee stirrers (kutsarita na lang!), plastic cups, and plastic spoons and forks (Maghuhugas na lang ako). This quarantine has shown me as well na maganda ding nakabalot sa plastic packaging ang food kasi it stays fresher, longer. Just when I thought hindi na ako gagamit ng plastic, plastic actually saved our food storage problem.

Kayo ba mommies? Kumusta ang mga ref nyo and pantry?
