Laundry can quickly take up your life. Most people dread this chore and often put it off until the last minute. Help alleviate your stress with these top laundry hacks:
Routine
Easier said than done, but having a laundry routine will allow you to do laundry in small increments and prevent piles of laundry accumulating. This routine can be as little as once a week, or once a day depending on your lifestyle. It can be hard to procrastinate, but this leads to more and more laundry which then leads to an overload of laundry.
Dry your Clothes Quicker
Waiting for your clothes to dry can be exhausting and boring. No one likes to repeat drying cycles on your dryer. Follow these hacks to dry your clothes faster:
- Add a dry towel to your wet clothes: the dry towel will absorb more water and making the load dry faster
- Wool Dryer Ball: similar to the towel method, this will soak up any moisture in the load
Folding Clothes
Everyone’s favorite part about laundry is folding all of it, right? No, in fact most people say this is their least favorite part about the chore. There are many ways you can make folding faster and easier including a folding mat, rolling method and getting the whole family involved in folding.
Organization
Aside from the actual cleaning part of doing laundry, storing it can also help alleviate stress. Instead of piling clean clothes on the floor or chair, fold or hang them straight out of the dryer. Letting them sit on the floor will result in them getting wrinkled, dirty and mixed up with dirty laundry. For socks, use a separate laundry basket to keep them together. This can also be used for linens and kitchen towels. Separating certain items can make laundry easier and improve your organization.
