Ken: Hi, I'm Kenneth Wingard from Home Made Simple, here in the laundry aisle at Family Dollar. Now, you may ask, 'What does laundry detergent have to do with designing a new room?' Well, when you've got active kids in your house, twenty-four-seven, like the Curls. The answer is: 'Everything.' ...I know I'm designing your house, but the laundry room is driving me bonkers, all right?

Joshua: Yeah.

Ken: So, we need to do a little organization. I got some bins from Family Dollar here, so I thought—this is one thing I like to do. So, hold on to that for me. Like, what's going on here? We got wet clothes, we got clean clothes, we got dirty clothes...

Joshua: So, this is all dirty clothes right here...

Ken: So, dirty clothes—one bin. Wet clothes, another bin and then we'll have a third bin for the clean clothes—these are ready to go back inside... That way when you come down, it's not this whole pile of whatever—we know what's what.

Joshua: It's a little more organized.

Ken: Thank you...

Joshua: Yeah.

Ken: See how much calmer it is already? ...So now, this whole, like—all your cleaning stuff, let's separate that out. I've got two bins here, we'll put everything for the dryer in one. Dryer, dryer—and then we can put all our washing things here. Tide Pods, washing machine cleaner, Downy Unstopables. And, the last tip is: I always keep my cleaning supplies up and out of the way. I know you're big, but you never know when there're little kids and it's safe outta the way.

Joshua: Okay.

Ken: I can breathe again... And now you know how detergent and design go hand-in-hand and here at Family Dollar, you'll have everything you need for both.
