One of our best tips is to simply your laundry routine as much as possible. Teach your family to sort their own laundry and point out any stains that need to be addressed before washing. Assign each family member their own day for individual laundry and make it a routine. Establish what needs to be done by them and how much help they can expect from you. Keep in mind that as parents we cannot expect perfectionism. This is the hardest part of allowing our children to learn and grow. No their clothes may not be folded exactly the way you would do it. They may sport a few more wrinkles at times than you would like but you are teaching them a valuable life skill and getting some much needed help with laundry chores.
Remember that summertime laundry is not full of the heavier bulky items that winter time is but even though it is lighter it tends to be dirtier. There is the temptation to let it go and get out of a good routine. Try not to fall into that temptation. Because it is dirtier and more smelly you need to do laundry on schedule. Leaving it to long will make it harder to remove stains and ground in dirt. The smells will also be harder to get rid of. Teach the entire household how to pre-treat stains using either a commercial pre-treatment or one you make yourself.
Getting the laundry done during the week will free up your weekends for fun stuff! This should be incentive enough to get a routine in place. Multitasking helps get things done without being boring. Throwing in laundry to wash while cooking dinner or helping kids with homework breaks up the boredom. Enlisting your kids to help fold laundry while watching favorite TV programs is also a great plan. They can put laundry away during the commercial breaks. Make it FUN!
One of the very best ways to enjoy the gorgeous sunshine this time of year is to dry your laundry outside in it as much as possible. There is nothing like the fresh clean smell the sun gives our bedding and linens. One of the best things is that it also can help with the stains. It will help bleach out some of those stains naturally. If you have a smelly laundry problem this is also a great way to deodorize them with nature. Give it a try and we think you will LOVE it!
