Ali's Tips-n-Tricks

Helpful Laundry Tips

9/17/2019

Time to do laundry….”eeeerrrrrrrr!!!!”. If you are like me, laundry is your least favorite chore. I’ve been in a few homes where laundry is a beast and I have helped families get out from underneath the piles! Here are some tips-n-tricks that I’ve used to make this unavoidable task go a little bit easier:
  • ​Ensure you have a pre-sort system: lights, darks, delicates, towels and linens. Have a dedicated hamper or basket for every category and make certain everyone in the household knows where to put their dirty clothes. If your family members are use to having one hamper for themselves in their bedroom or bathroom, that’s fine! Those contents just need to make it to the “household” sorting hampers/baskets.
  • If your family is small and doesn’t have a ton of laundry piling up, dedicate one day a week to tackle it in a few hours. Multi task and have the laundry going while you do other household chores (one of the few upsides to having to do laundry😊).
  • If your family is larger, and it would take you hours and hours to complete in one day, pick certain days of the week to complete specific categories. Maybe Monday’s are for towels, Tuesday’s are for lights, Wednesday’s are for darks and Thursday’s are for linens and delicates. 
  • Any “Mini-Me’s” in the house? Have them help out by folding or putting their own laundry away. Older ones may even be able to start a load, especially if you have your pre-sorted system up and running. Have a little chart to remind them of detergent/softener levels and wash settings for each category.
  • Really behind??? Pay a babysitter that you use and trust, a friend’s child or neighborhood kid looking for extra cash to help dig you out! Remember, many hands make light work😊

I hope that this has given you some ideas that you can use in your home! If you think you need some one on one help, contact me for a consultation!

I think you are right about making sure that you multitask during laundry. I need to get a new washing machine. My old one broke and was leaking everywhere.
