Welcome back! In our last post our Raleigh Laundromat offered a few ways to chase away winter laundry blues.

Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC | Fun Washing Ritual
Yes, we know. No one thinks laundry is fun EVER. But what if you trained yourself to like it…at least sort of! Putting in place a laundry ritual can help. To help make laundry efforts a bit more fun, schedule your downtime for the day during the wash cycle. Take the time it takes to wash a load of clothes to read a magazine or watch an episode of your favorite TV show. You could even treat yourself to a cup of tea, play a game on your iPad, or have a bowl of cereal.
When you incorporate downtime during the wash or dry cycle, laundry doesn’t seem so bad, right? Try it. You’ll be surprised at how refreshed you feel after your short break!
Be Efficient
If you’re unsure about downtime during the wash or dry cycle, use this time to see how efficient you can be doing other things. Find out exactly how long the wash and dry cycle is, set a timer and do as much of your other house cleaning chores you can during that time. When the timer goes off, dry, hang, and fold as quickly and efficiently as you can. Don’t forget about it or you may have to rewash and lose other free time.
Include the Kids
Though it isn’t always efficient or organized, it’s sometimes fun to make laundry chores a family experience. Let the kids help! Make a game of it with rewards. You may be surprised at how much the kids will enjoy it. They will also be learning responsibility at the same time. As we talked about in our previous post, it’s a good idea to follow the weather for your washing days. You could also help your child make a weather chart like this one to keep track of the best washing days and in addition, help them learn about the elements.
Laundry is never one of our favorite pastimes. Though we don’t love it, it doesn’t have to be the most miserable time of our lives, either. Use these tips, and the final few tips in our next post, to help you make laundry chores as easy and fun as possible!
