• However, do not squat too long because it may strain your kneecap and result to muscle cramps. Do not bend your back when you intend to carry the flower pots because your head will be facing downwards.

I have tried many brands BUT I love FAB owder Laundry Detergent compare to the others.

Just use one scoop for a big laundry basket hand wash, especially bed sheet, comforters, curtains, and it really cleans out all the dust , stains with light scrubs

For half laundry basket, just half scoop will do.

I use sparingly, managed to save more money compare to liquid detergent.

Furthermore, the spring fragrant smell of this detergent makes my clean laundry felt new again.

• Isn’t it wonderful to see your child giggling happily as you push him on the swing while you work out your body at the same time?
