We all have chores we hate...mine is laundry. Why does it take SO LONG? Well, I've finally learned some tricks to make it easier; this is how I do laundry in half the time.
A little tip I didn't mention in the video: I do my "daily" laundry maintenance (that I talk about doing every morning and night) every single day. But I only bring it up to fold/put away 2-3x a week. This really helps it from feeling like it's consuming my life. Since folding/putting away is the longest part, I don't do it daily. This really helps me feel like laundry doesn't control me!

What helped me was washing everyone’s clothes separately. That way there was no matching the clothes to each kid. Made it much easier for me.

@Odiekins Год назад

YAAAS! Everyone’s clothes get processed separately. My husband is a carpenter, and I’ve ruined too many clothes washing his work clothes with out regular clothes.

@badgerlife9541 Год назад

Do people in the US not have dish washers? Genuinely confused. In Europe even the most cheap rental kitchens have dish washers.

@kimhanback1302 Год назад

@badgerlife9541 we do, but it's only my husband and me. We wash up as we use the dishes. I use the dishwasher if I cook a big meal and have company over. We don't rent. We own two homes, actually. Both have dishwashers.

@janalcock651 Год назад

I sit in a chair in front of the dryer. I fold and sort and lay the items on top of my dryer. It's easy to carry them to the appropriate rooms and put them away. When your oldest is 5 you should teach him or her how to fold laundry. When they are 10 they should be able to do they're own laundry. I was a single working mother. My kids started baking with supervision at 8 and by 14 were totally self reliant.😊

@loris2525 Год назад

My daughter was 12 when she started her own laundry. We had been in apt with no washer and dryer so we always went to a laundry mat. When there was an electrical fire in our apt, we went to stay with my mom who showed her how to use the washer while i was at work. After that, she started washing both our clothes on her own bc in was working and in school. We moved to a place with our own washer and dryer the following year and hasnt let me do her laundry since. She likes making sure what she wants to wear the next day is clean and ready instead of waiting for me. She also washes the towels she uses and her own bedding. All voluntarily! Saves me a lot of work and time bc that girl goes through clothes! 😂

@rubyhaskell1325 Год назад

I do this exact same thing. fold while sitting on a stool in front of the dryer. My 8 & 5 year olds help fold their clothes and put it away. It’s not perfect but it’s helping them get in the habit of doing it.

@donnanutt3650 11 месяцев назад

If only more moms did that. I was not single but was a working mom, Girl Scout leader, soccer team manager for 3 kids and a traveling husband. My kids were and are self reliant. Not sure all my grandkids are. Most of my friends did not require their kids to do much at home. I think that’s one of the factors in this generation of that doesn’t want to work.

@sternits Год назад

There are somethings that never get folded: socks, underwear, no-wrinkle exercise clothes, pajamas. They just get shoved in the appropriate drawer. Saves lots of time.

@leeanns9429 Год назад

Laundry has always been my favorite chore! Dishes are ok. Most annoying is dusting.

@allison.e Год назад

I know this won't work for everyone's home, but in case anyone reading is househunting or rehabbing, my #1 tip is to have your laundry on the same floor as the bedrooms. It saves so much effort and time, laundry can go straight from the machine to the closet or dresser. The only laundry I have to carry up or downstairs weekly is kitchen towels (very lightweight), and monthly my dog bed cover and a couple couch blankets.

@anitas5817 Год назад

Yes! I don’t know why people ever thought the laundry should be by the kitchen! The linens and clothes are near the bedrooms! At least mine are on the same floor.

@gloriaalex11 Год назад

@@anitas5817 I think because years ago, a lot more people took their clothes (and especially linens) outside to hang dry, weather permitting. When I was growing up, my parents considered it wasteful to run the dryer unless absolutely necessary.

@MundaneGray Год назад

You are right, Allison. In my previous life (family of four, house in the suburbs), the laundry room was upstairs next to the bedrooms. I was responsible for sorting dirty laundry, washing, and drying. (My wife sorted clean clothes, folded, and put away.) I didn’t know how good I had it. Now the kids are all grown up and I’m divorced, living in a one-bedroom apartment. On the third floor. The laundry room is on the bottom floor. You would think that laundry would be easier now that I’m just washing clothes for one person instead of four. But it’s not. Because every load of laundry requires three round trips on that staircase. It’s not the laundry that tires me out. It’s the stairs.

@silmuffin86 Год назад

I've had it upstairs, but I like it better on the ground floor, that way I can fold while checking on the kids, sometimes while watching a tv show (we don't have TVs in the bedrooms), I can run it in the evening without worrying it's loud while the kids are asleep, and I also line dry a lot of clothes and this way I'm closer to the backyard.

@silmuffin86 Год назад

@@gloriaalex11 I'm still that way :D ecofriendly and cheaper ;)

@ter17nicfab99 10 месяцев назад

I've thought about this and I just realised the positive of living in a flat with just one floor! No having to go up and down stairs to put things away😊

@lydiasmith552 Год назад

My laundry routine: 1) Do loads of laundry by person to eliminate sorting all together. 2) Keep baskets in rooms. When basket is full, wash. 3) Wash all clothes in cold, towels in hot, sheets in warm on normal setting. 4) Wash kids clothes and sheets with all clear detergent & messy eater stain remover, adults clothes with Tide, and towels & blankets with diva glamorous. 5) Use vinegar instead of fabric softener. Add one scoop of oxiclean. Add 1/2 sheet color catcher. 6) Dry towels & blankets on normal and all other items on delicate setting. Use dryer balls instead of sheets. 7) If load sits for an extended time, dry at normal heat to fluff for 5 mins (add ice cube optional). 8) Dump clean clothes on beds to be put away before bed. 9) Hang dress shirts. Fold jeans. No fold methods for all other items. 10) Make your laundry room aesthetically pleasing. It helps! Perfect laundry every time.

Sounds like a great system you got! Super organized. Btw.. I used to use vinegar all the time every laundry load until I read about it corroding metal parts and metal. I could be wrong? but I stopped just in case. FYI

@bobbiefarrar3036 Год назад

We all need exercise, right? I consider the extra steps of carrying the clean, folded clothes up the stairs as a great exercise!! I try to think this way for other chores as well. Also, as I do different chores is my time to pray for family and friends; and talk to the Lord! Enjoy your videos! God bless you and yours!

@aftonbernard4703 Год назад

My system is once weekly. I was growing soooo tired of constantly putting laundry away. We have just enough clothes that doing it weekly has not been an issue. Usually two-3 loads, fold (does take a while but I don’t mind folding) and only have to put them away once. Has really helped me a lot

@denisetarabori553 Год назад

I enjoy the washing drying folding and hanging laundry. I’m not good about putting it away. I enjoy doing dishes. Even the hand washing ones. I would rather scrub 100 toilets than dust one of anything! That is my most detested household chore of all.

@AnandaAtHome Год назад

Laundry sanitation tip(s) - don’t put clean laundry in a basket that had dirty laundry in it. Have separate baskets/bags for clean/dirty laundry. If you go to the laundromat, wash your bags with your laundry so that that you’re putting clean clothes into clean bags. Wipe your baskets out with a Clorox wipe or spray them down with Lysol at the very least. Oh, and don’t fold clean laundry on the floor where your family/pets walk around (for obvious reasons). If you fold your clothes at the laundromat or shared space, sanitize the surfaces first. Don’t play around with your health.

@beatrice495 11 месяцев назад

@wendio5437 Год назад

When my kids were little, I kept all their clothes in the laundry room. We installed hanging rods and some shelves in the laundry room and it was the best thing I did for a season of life. I didn’t have a big laundry room, we just made it work and it was so easy.

@Florida_Mollie Год назад

I wash loads per person. It’s much easier! I also fold as coming out of the dryer and take directly to their dresser. I hang out of the dryer too

@annmyers2883 Год назад

I have always used mesh wash laundry bags from Dollar Tree for all socks. I am 70 and have never lost a sock in the dryer. You can even wash them with the tops tucked together and when you pull them out of the bag after drying, they are all still matched. I like doing laundry because the machines do all the work.

@cormom1 Год назад

I would like to recommend a method that I came up with many years ago when my children were young and were going back and forth to grandmas and their dad’s house frequently. I actually published this method in a book once! Make “packs” of clothes for your kids. Each pack includes top, bottom, socks, undies. They go in ziplock bags with the air squeezed out. Your kids can easily put them away and choose coordinating clothes when packing to go somewhere. This teaches kids clothing coordinating and to be independent packers. At the time, there were 2 gallon bags available too, for bigger kids or bulky items. You can also put shoes in quart size bags and then put them inside the larger bag for a complete look. I hope this helps someone. It sure made this single mom’s life much easier. And-my kids always were coordinated during that “let me pick my own clothes” stage!

@destrygraves Год назад

I was actually trying to explain this exact thing earlier. I was in the same situation (single parent, dad and 2 sets of grandparents). I added hair accessories for my daughter. My kids randomly got a second pair of shoes transported so no need for that part of your (our) plan. I eventually learned to send a list of what was sent and keep a copy of that list because things not coming back was an issue I had to deal with. As a single parent I could not afford to go out and buy 4 new t- shirts every other weekend because someone else couldn’t bother to keep up with the clothes. I also didn’t have the time to be driving back and forth getting that missing shirt. People learned to check that list when they put the clothes back in the suitcase. They also started returning the ziplock bags after I made it an issue every single time. Yes, I do understand that ziplock bags are disposable. However, ones that contain clean clothes do not need to be thrown away. Now you can get mesh zip top bags at Walmart in the automotive section for around $1. 30 years ago it wasn’t an option.

@brendarobbins8832 Год назад

I did this when packing my kids to go visit each set of grandparents and they appreciated it so much. I wish I would have taken the time to do it at home. The one sanity saving thing I did was give each kid 2 zippered Lingerie bags for their socks. They put dirty ones in, I washed and dried in the bag and they left clean in the bag. This stopped the missing sock saga and they knew each sock in the bag had a mate.

@egoreknits Год назад

For my younger kids I just use those big oval baskets that Dollar Tree sold a year or two ago. Each child has a bin/basket for his underwear, another one for socks, another for pj's. Then all their shirts and pants are hung in the closet. Only my 15 year old son has a dresser and it's the dresser I used as a kid. My oldest two kids had a dresser when they were young but it just didn't last. After my youngest two also broke the drawers in yet another dresser I decided to use a different clothes storage system that didn't use drawers. The bins work great. I don't fold anything that is kept in the baskets/bins and my 9 and 6 year olds can put all their own clothes away without help. All I do is hang up pants for the 9 year old and shirts and pants for the 6 year old. The two teenagers do their own laundry and put it all away themselves. So, the only person in our house who doesn't do their own laundry is my sweet husband. He works hard so I can stay home with our kids so no complaints.

@melindamorgan1736 Год назад

I live alone and have a good amount of closet space. As a result, I hang all my clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer. So since I usually wear t-shirts and pants, I hang them as soon as the dryer stops spinning. This way I don’t have to worry about ironing (whatever that is!!). I use the ‘why fold it’ method for underwear and socks and just throw them in a drawer. With sheets and towels, just let them stay in the dryer and fluff them up before you need to use them again. 😅

@tracyjean9155 Год назад

I stand and grab out the pieces of clothing from my drier and fold each item as I take it out (placing it on my flat top washing machine.) As I do it I sort it by person then take it to each of their rooms and place it directly into their dresser. Otherwise I would move clothes to a room and it would sit, then fold it and put it back in basket where it would sit. 2 years ago I made a resolution of no procrastination and it has really helped me. ❤ thanks for your videos and positive ideas. Always good to know we are not alone in doing mundane tasks. I listen to music to make it more fun

@angelacole9664 Год назад

My laundry used to LIVE in baskets, so I'd always get up about 20 minutes earlier than needed to find kids' clothes before school. I finally decided enough was enough.. we weeded out clothes and socks and pants are the only things that get folded. Shirts get hung up and there's baskets and cube storage for hiding everything else. I hated seeing MOUNTAINS of laundry whenever I decided to fold stuff, and it was overwhelming. I gave up some control to GAIN control. Laundry now takes us 20-30 minutes [minus wash/dry time] and it's freaking awesome!

@DanielleWoodstock Год назад

I switched from doing laundry every day to doing it once a week and I was shocked at how much easier it is for me to accomplish from start to finish! It's so interesting how everyone is different that way! I sort my laundry in these categories: everyone's socks/dish cloths, cleaning cloths, anything that needs hang dried, my clothes, my husband's clothes, my kids' (1yo, 3yo) clothes.

@jocelynsmyth6604 Год назад

We're just a family of two, and we live in an old apartment building with one washer and dryer in the basement, and we're on the third floor. They've upped the prices on the machine, so everything gets hang-dried now, until there is an entire load of socks, his work shirts, and underwear 😅

@saraeid8253 Год назад

I'm the complete opposite. I use to do it only on weekends and it would NEVER end. I find it so much easier to do a wash every couple of days. I'm glad doing it on weekends works best for you 😊

@HopeandPrayer 3 месяца назад

Growing up, laundry was done one day a week. When the dryer finished, the basket was carried into the living room where my mom, sister, and I folded everything while watching TV shows or a movie, making piles for each person (there were four of us) to carry into their own rooms to put away themselves.

Dust is my enemy. Every single person in this house is allergic to it. All have positive markers when tested for it. Some have gone for allergy shots twice a week for years. I run a duster or a microfiber cloth over every surface as soon as I wake up while I’m drinking my coffee. We sweep, mop and vacuum daily. Often more than once daily. Every single morning that dust is there waiting for me. Dust is the thing I do random deep searches on in the middle of the night. I wish someone would figure it out and share with the rest of us.

And I don’t have to do laundry on the weekends which is #winning 😊 I will say that we do cloth diapers still so that requires small loads here and there. But it’s such an ingrained habit that I don’t need to think when I do it.

I have never minded washing dishes my entire life & I am in the minority of people who enjoy doing laundry. We live in an old house (built in 1890's) but are fortunate that the laundry room is on second floor. That's where most laundry is generated....so, makes sense to have laundry room up there. I don't use a dryer. Dryers are very tough on fabric....it tears it apart. I know line-drying isn't for everyone....I get it....but it is for me. I love it. Saves money, better for the environment, all of our stuff lasts over twice as long. It's just the 2 of us.....we have 2 laundry baskets in laundry room...one for darks, one for lights. Then either gets full, I wash it. We toss dirty laundry into the laundry room. We don't automatically wash everything after just 1 use. If it isn't dirty, stinky or stained, it gets worn again. We hang those things up on a peg rack in our room.

I have been folding my laundry in my living room since. I spend most time in both my kitchen & living room. It's called Freedom

I hate dishes!!! But I have twins and no dishwasher. And they really only like the Dr Brown’s bottles which have so many pieces. I’d take laundry all day, everyday!!

I keep a drawer open for 'used but not ready for laundry for sweaters, PJ bottoms etc'. Helps a lot

BOTH! Dishes are #1 the worst. Will literally trade any chore (aside from trash itself) over dishes. The steamy smell and soggy food is ickyyy and sucks so much time! but so does laundry & both are neverending lol

All good info! I LOVE that stain spray. I spilled IODINE on a white shirt, immediately doused it and forgot about it. When I did whites, I checked the shirt and the iodine was completely gone. It's magic. You should get a sponsorship w/them.

I have a pet peeve (ok, one of many). It drives me nuts when people put now washed and dried clothing back in the laundry basket they used to carry the dirty clothes in. My solutions is pillow cases. I throw the pillow case in with the rest of the load, and use it to gather smaller items (sox, undies) out of the dryer.

Laundry, I took your advice several months ago. We bought 2 hang up laundry bags to hang up. Socks with 3 kids,,,omg they are everywhere. Now on the back of basement entry door. Shoes and socks off coming in the house, so bag of socks makes me happy. Kitchen bag gets table cloths placemats towels bar mops and bibs. You were right! Game changer!!!

@surlespasdondine Год назад

But not everyone wants to take off their socks when coming into the house?

your file folding method gives me Marie Kondo vibes :) I've been doing it for a couple of years now and it's been game changing! Takes much less space and no messy drawers!

@oliviacribb2931 Год назад

I live in a small single story home. All laundry is folded on my bed, except for my 2 year old girls’ clothes. Theirs I just carry to their room and hang/put away. I would take laundry over dishes any day!

Having a regular, efficient routine for any household chore has always been a struggle for me! (Married 36 years 🙄) But my husband is the king of routines and that has helped me. Now that we are retired, we do the laundry every Monday. I have two hampers for my clothes so lights and darks are already separated. He has one but adds his lights to mine Monday morning. He folds and puts away his own clothes. I pull mine out of the dryer, carry them to the bedroom, immediately fold/hang, put away. File folding is wonderful! I wish I had had this routine all the years my daughter was young, I was working, etc. BTW, grocery shopping was a big hassle years ago until I stopped worrying about coupons (can't shop until I clip coupons, right?) and started shopping the same day every week. Bottom line, for me, having a routine and sticking to it is the key to success.

Congrats on baby boy!! 🩵 I would much rather do dishes. But my most hated chore is scrubbing the shower or tub.

@naomi9723 Год назад

Idk about everyone else . But I love doing laundry . My kids are older so I just have them do their own laundry one load at a time . Once their basket is full they know it’s time to wash their clothes .

@debbiefriedt7264 Год назад

I I always fold my clothes in the living room on the couch and coffee table.

@loris2525 Год назад

Ive been trying out file folding in a couple of my drawers for the past few weeks to see if id keep up with it. What ive discovered is that, i like it enough to keep up with it but i i want to get drawer dividers before i do the drawers with softer stuff like t-shirts and tank tops bc i can see those easily getting messed up without some kind of structure going on.
