Laundry care – smart ideas

Occasionally, doing my laundry makes me think of the film “Groundhog Day”, in which the lead character repeatedly experiences the same events.

Don’t let your laundry accumulate.

When I initially started living on my own, I handled the laundry on the weekends. We periodically used the washing machine even during the week after my partner moved in. But once we had children, it became a normal part of life. To maintain order in our home, we often need to wash at least one washing machine each day.

And when does unwashed laundry take over our lives and our homes? The most evident symptoms become apparent right away. There is no longer enough room in the laundry basket, and clothes begin to take up space on the top of the washer, the bathroom floor and the bed. Additionally, a common way that homes to be “decorated” is by laundry that is waiting to be ironed.

And I observed this not just in myself, but also in my family and friends. Such instances occasionally appear when we are reading real estate advertisements, demonstrating how prevalent this problem is. Do not disregard the advice below if you have found yourself trapped in a cycle of amassing unclean or un-ironed laundry in your home.

Have a bin for laundry separation.

The greatest laundry baskets come with at least two, and frequently even three, dividers, allowing you to sort your clothes by color. When gathering specific clothes for washing together, you can save a lot of time because separate compartments ensure prompt sorting of laundry. Children included, make sure everyone in the family is aware of the divorce procedure. Maybe a blue sock will get mixed in with the white laundry, but if you separate the garments by color, you’ll already be able to spot it from a distance.

Choose an appropriate bin for your household.

Pick a laundry basket that will work for the room’s dimensions and the needs of the family. If the basket is too small, there won’t be enough room for dirty clothing to be stored in it. In order to prevent falling behind, it shouldn’t be too enormous either. With the golden mean, you’ll feel sufficiently motivated to keep up a regular laundry care schedule without feeling guilty.

Reuse laundry bags several times.

Usually, laundry bags are used for delicate clothing, like bras. However, the bags can also be used to wash smaller items of clothing, like baby socks. Smaller clothing items can be gathered together after washing with this technique, and your socks can dry fast.

Do as much laundry as possible before your vacation.

Empty the laundry basket as much as you can in the week before the commencement of a lengthy vacation or trip. As a result, the transition from the conclusion of the vacation to the start of everyday chores will be less stressful. The basket will then provide enough room to put off the tedious laundry for a few days.

One washer a day is a must.

Laundry heaps can easily overtake a house if there are multiple people living there. Don’t wait until the weekend to finish washing and drying your stuff. Wash at least one machine every day so that the weekend is reserved for other enjoyable activities. Campaign laundry washing and drying might result in demotivation and undesired accumulation.

When buying new clothes, you should think about maintenance.

Does brand-new clothing require hand washing? Can a dry cleaner be the only place to clean it? Can it stain additional clothing? Perhaps it’s not a good idea to use a tumble dryer? Will it take more time to care for this piece of clothing? Examining the label and the care instructions for new clothing before purchasing them is a good idea. This will simplify the laundry washing and maintenance process.
