Laundry Day is Every Day

Everyday is laundry day here. We find it easier to manage small daily loads of wash and there is always soiled clothing. You may have to help sort the dirty clothing from the clean as they sometimes get mixed up. The goal is to ensure clean comfortable clothing is worn every day.
  • Check all those pockets
  • Fasten zippers - you can make them easier to zip with a zipper lubricant or soap
  • Use your favorite stain remover
  • Sew on missing buttons
  • If you are washing a small load, use the appropriate water-level setting.
  • Don't over-dry your clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it.
  • Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.
  • Use the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the residual heat in the dryer.
  • Put tennis balls or dryer balls in the dryer - they help separate clothes and dry them faster.
  • Replace clean clothing in the same locations as before. You may want to reduce the number of choices.
