I’m obsessed with these babies. They’re from the SNR import. The moments when the middle of the fish almost turn purple are nuts. 🥰🥰

I’ve been working toward using more native plants in my setups. This is my first season using Azolla caroliniana. I’m in love! The texture, color, growth rate……it’s gorgeous. Anyone else love Azolla?

The summer cut continues…. Give me five more weeks and and you won’t be able to tell me anything. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

This has been super fun! Some of you thought it would be cool to see one shoe washed inside a microfiber shoe bag and one just loose in the laundry machine.

I had another pair of the same style shoe I had retired for yard work. I brushed the mud and dirt off, but did very little otherwise to pre-clean. I followed the same procedure for each: OxyClean, standard detergent, and hot water. I also removed the laces at the advice of you all—it was definitely the right move.

Results: The bagged shoe got significantly cleaner than the unbagged shoe. (The bagged shoe is sitting atop the wash bag in the photos.) Some of you mentioned washing your shoes with rags or towels would work the same, and I bet you're right.

Takeaway: Shoes alone in the wash don’t do as well as shoes that have cloth to rub up against (like the shoe bags or perhaps towels/rags).

Great idea laundry folks! Thanks for this experiment idea. 💙💕❤️💙💕❤️💙

UPDATE: results of second experiment. One shoe in a bag, one shoe with no bag

My mom gave me these microfiber cloth bags for washing shoes. I tested them out with my gym shoes. I’m pretty impressed! I used oxy clean powder and regular detergent with hot water.
