Laundry day is a very mundane task and is at the top of the list for me as one of the dreaded chores I have to do. I have created a list of 5 things to do to make this daunting task easier.
- Use a good laundry detergent. Sure, this sounds ridiculous and like common sense. However, I use to buy laundry detergent based on what was cheapest and/ or on sale. I soon discovered all laundry detergents are not created equal because some detergents made my clothes dingy and caused me to rewashed them. The detergents I found work the best are Tide, Purex and Gain.
- Spot clean clothes daily. As you put the clothes in the hamper, check for spot and pretreat it with Zout or Shout. This will prevent the stain from settling in and being tough to get out later. Teach the kids to help.
- Sort clothes nightly. Use a hamper with 3 dividers so that you can separate the clothes according colors. This will save you the hassle for having to sort the clothes on laundry day.
- Use fabric softener sheets in the dryer. Fabric softener keeps the clothes soft and decreases the amount of wrinkles in them.
- Remove and hang clothes from the dryer while they are still warm.
These helpful tips will reduce the stress and dread often felt when doing laundry. Also, you can get the kids involved with helping you.
