Laundry day isn't always the most exciting day of the week, but it sure is necessary! Sometimes we put the chore off till the last minute or leave our clean laundry unfolded for days, but once you know how to tackle this chore effectively, it becomes much easier. Keep reading for some helpful tips and tricks that will make laundry day in your Weidner apartment a breeze.
Prepare Ahead of Time
Laundry day can become a hassle when you have everything loaded into the washer just to realize that you are out of fabric softener. The night before laundry day, take the time to prepare everything. Go through your apartment and get together all the laundry you want to wash, then check your supplies to make sure you have detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets. If you don't have everything you need, run to the store so that you can set yourself up for success the following day.
Pretreat Stains
Do you have a shirt that you constantly keep in the hamper because you can't seem to remove a stain? Put an end to it by pretreating it before a wash. Treat stains with your choice of remover or simply utilize some dish soap. If you treat the stains ahead of time, you won't have to worry about doing another wash cycle for those stubborn spots.
Fold Everything As Soon As It's Done
We all know that folding and putting away clothes is typically the most difficult part of laundry day. Instead of throwing the clean clothes on a chair or telling yourself that you will do it later, simply do it as soon as it comes out of the dryer. Play some music and get in the zone. Don't turn this ten-minute chore into a week's worth of slow folding.
Have a Hamper For Clean Clothes Too
One of the most common issues with laundry is that we try on an outfit, hate it, and throw the clean clothes directly into the laundry basket. By the time we get around to washing our clothes, we can't remember what we wore and what we simply tried on. Plus, mixing your clean and dirty clothes will lead to your washed clothes smelling like the unwashed ones. Create a hamper for clean clothes only and take the time to put them all away at the end of the week; this will also end up saving you time and money since you won't have to rewash clean clothes.
