Having fresh, clean laundry on a regular basis is a dream. Studies show that doing laundry does make us feel better, even satisfied in a way. On the other hand, in reality, if not done well and properly, it can cause a lot of stress as well.
Laundry is America’s favorite cleaning task, according to the American Cleaning Institute’s (ACI) 2019 National Cleaning Survey. The question is, what is the best way to get a handle on your laundry so that it doesn't take over your life and time?
We're glad that you asked. Here are three simply ways to get a handle on the one chore that cannot be avoided.
Top 3 Laundry Tips: Have a Laundry Rule: Set a rule that everyone can follow to make laundry time easier. Place two laundry baskets in each room so that the clothes can be sorted as you go. One basket for colored clothes and the other for whites. This method will shorten the sorting time on wash day.
Make the Best Use of Your Time: While waiting for the laundry to get done, you can use this time to read a book or watch a movie even complete other simple chores around the house. Having something special to do during this time can give you something to look forward to and make you feel more productive. Determine How Often You Will Wash: Do you prefer to wash a few big loads or a lot of little loads? That is the question. Having an idea of whether you plan to wash clothes every day or once per week will help ease the burden of this chore. Whatever you choose. The key is to have a plan and stick to your plan. Household chores like doing the laundry can be very daunting but it doesn't have to be. Get in front of the task and accept that it is something that has to be done. You can also opt to outsource your laundry. This is a nice option that takes a little less time. We'll talk about that in another post.
