With the school year back in full swing, many of us are facing even more �laundry than we tackled during the Summer. �I know my kids are always changing clothes for playtime and sports practice, etc. �If this sounds like you, here are 4 simple laundry tricks that will save you time.
- Make a When to Wash it Schedule. �Not everything needs to be washed with each use. �Jeans for example can be worn several times before you wash them (assuming there are no messes that need cleaning ASAP). �In fact, jeans will last much longer the less you wash and dry them.
- Reuse Towels. �This one is kind of on the same topic as #1, but towels don�t need to be washed after over and over again as long as they are hung dry after each use. We keep a hook for each member of our family in the bathroom and they hang their towel there for the next day�s shower. �I typically wash towels once to twice per week.
- Have the kids help. �If your kids are old enough have them wash their own laundry. �I have been making my kids do their laundry since they were 10 years old and it saves me a lot of time and gets them thinking about whether or not they really want to just throw their clean clothes on the floor as kids often do)
- Wash like laundry together. �I like to keep some laundry together when I wash it. �For example, I always wash towels together and it really does make the laundry go quicker. �I can fold a load of towels in less than a minute. �Maybe it�s just me and my hatred of laundry, but having a big stack of the same thing makes that stack of laundry seem far less intimidating.
