The Laundry Quandry: Simple Suggestions To Simplify Laundry Time
What’s the best way to keep your family in clean clothes? I haven’t figured this out yet. It’s a quandary that I have been trying to figure out for a long, long time. My husband and I are both to blame. We hate doing laundry. I don’t have a problem washing, but folding and I just don’t dance together.
Today, I came across a blog that has several tips on how to solve your household’s laundry problems. She’s got photos of a few different laundry rooms for inspiration too. Take a read, you might find a tip that helps you conquer the laundry quandary in your home. Here’s the link: Complete Organizing Solutions: Laundry Links.
I think I have a good tip to give. After you wear the clothes make sure that you are putting them in the basket fully stretched, basically the same way they would be if you were to wear them. In this way when they get to the washing machine you don’t have to flipped them, but more importantly you won’t have to flip them when folding. This will eliminate about 10-15% of the folding time. Does that make sense? (I hope I explained myself)
Great tip Luis! It’s more effort on the front end, but might save more time in the long run. Thanks for sharing.
