The Holidays are now upon us and we seem to have less time than ever to keep up with our normal everyday chore and all the holiday events we have going on. Maybe you are pretty good at keeping up with the normal everyday laundry your family has, but this time of year it is very easy to get behind. Never fear we have some tips and tricks to help you stay caught up this crazy, hectic, season.
Tips and Tricks | Coin Laundry Raleigh NC
First things first. You will want to stay on top of the laundry each day. This will mean doing at least one load of laundry per day all the way through. This means wash, dry, fold, and put away. If you can manage one load a day then by weeks end you will be ahead of the game. Always make certain the entire family is on board so that the clothes are rounded up and ready for laundering.
Stay super organized this time of year. This will mean checking your laundry supplies and replenishing them as needed. There is nothing more stressful to a busy family than getting ready to do a load of laundry and finding you are out of supplies. Stock up early on and check supplies weekly. The bigger your family the more laundry you have, the more supplies you will need.
Teach each family member to get their laundry together. This means each person has a laundry basket to place their clothing in. Make certain they understand that this is the only acceptable place for their dirty clothing. Not the floor, or the closet, or under the bed! Once this is made clear and is in use it will be easier to locate and actually do the laundry in a timely manner. Also teach them to point out any stains that may need pre-treating. This will prevent headaches on laundry day for you and less chance of permanently ruined clothing.
If you really want help with the laundry then you must get the family on board. Even very young children can help! Show children how to fold and put away their own laundry. Older children can learn to operate the washer and dryer and do their own laundry. Assign each a specific day for their laundry and eliminate some of the never ending laundry chore for yourself.
This is a great time of the year to begin getting clutter under control. Organize and clean out those full closets and drawers. You will gain much needed space by getting rid of any outgrown clothing and keeping only clothes that fir properly and are in good repair. Toss any stained or irreparably torn items. This will free up room for all those Christmas gifts you all may have received. A good way to get kids involved is to have them put on a fashion show of sorts. Check to see items fit and then toss if needed. This will get the New Year off to a great start.
Check to see if you need to add extra storage solutions to your closets. Sometimes we have plenty of room but it does not appear so because we don’t have the right storage. Add storage by placing a basket unit or plastic drawer storage units in the closets or bedrooms as you have room.
