We have a Speed Queen washing machine that I tell how much water to fill and I can open the lid to toss in an item of clothing that I forgot. I do about 3 loads of laundry a day for one person and a dog. I send out my husband’s laundry for washing, folding and dry cleaning. He is construction and his clothes are heavy and dirty. It saves in the wear and tear of the washing machine. My girlfriend told me about this service. Her three children went to private school and she always sent out all the children’s clothing as well as her husbands. This is very helpful as we know there are other items that need to be washed: sheets, coverlets, towels, napkins, tablecloths, dish rags and such. The price was reasonable we’re we live. Maybe it will be the same for you.

@flyladykat Месяц назад

I made this video about 8 years ago. I now have new front loaders. They have improved but the old Speed Queens last forever and are a joy to use. Thank you for your comment!

I do 1 or 2 loads of laundry Monday through Thursday every week. I home school and do the paperwork for our family business Monday through Thursday as well. I'm finding a little each day suits me much better than doing it all one day a week. I'm trying to incorporate exercise into my routine the same way, 15 to 30 minutes every day instead of an hour 4 days a week.

I just found you today and I've watched 3 videos in a row! I LOVE YOU!!! So this tutorial should be shared with every teenager b/c parents are no longer teaching their kids basic home economic chores; and it's not being offered in schools anymore either. I'm an old skool mom who taught chores to my kids early on. My daughter thanked me when she left for college and started to make money on the side washing her roommate's clothes. Her roommate didn't even know how to start a washing machine. So thank you for your efforts in making these videos; I will be sharing them. Love the tip on how you use a brush to clean your dryer lint try - brilliant! BTW I have an old skool washer too and my fabric softener dispenser is at the top of the agitator ;-)

Wow I’m so happy I found you!! I’m the youngest in my family and was never taught anything :( I’ve had to learn everything myself the hard way. Thank God for RU-vid and for people like yourself lol.. I have 3 kids and I’m still learning. I just let me house cleaner/helper go and I’m so so soooooo thankful for everything I’m learning with FlyLady! God bless you ❤️

Oooo, my husband hates it when pants or shirts are turned inside out. He says the dirt is on the outside, so how can they get clean if they are turned inside out. When you talked about the jeans, it made me think about this. Sorry, had to share that tid bit.

@estherloske2220 7 лет назад

Ohh..... Dear Flylady Kat 🌼 I am so set free from punishing myself and berating any worth out of myself ! Such an amazing feeling to come to know that I am not the only person on the globe who persistently owns the horror of 'Mount Washmore'. I try to understand why the laundry has such total mastery over me , I think because the basement was so horrible I never wanted to go downstairs. Anyway .... Now I deal with apt. laundryroom..... and as I see the mountain of laundry reaching half way up the wall, I feel so appreciative for 'this' video !!!! I will keep going back to it ,while I continue to over come my mountain of clothes and laundry blockade. 🙅😊💙🌸🌼

@ruthsquiltingandmore5346 7 лет назад

I have 4 bins in my laundry room, and I sort as I put it in the dirty laundry. Helps to not have to sort. Also keep the piles out of the floor when I'm actually doing laundry.

@iwant2stayhome 7 лет назад

I would faint if my laundry looked like that. LOL... I do a lean method. My husband clothes, My Clothes, Whites, Sheets towels. When I fold it takes me less than 5 to 10 minutes to fold and put away. Each of my kids has a specific day to do laundry. MOM does no more clothes for them. One load a day keeps the piles away. :)

@simonegodwin7449 4 года назад

@Amberwood265 6 лет назад

I'm new to your channel from Kimmy, and have been taking quite a few notes from your videos. One thing I use to do with jeans as a kid was hand wash them in a bucket in cold water. Which would pull out the most ink. Later on in life I learned from my mother in law that vinegar sets colors in clothes. So I use that whenever I have a new shirt or pants or just a yard of fabric. There are also color grabber sheets but I've never tried them. The only time I don't use vinegar is with bamboo fiber, I use to cloth diaper my son and its so strong that it weakens the fabric. A chemical reaction happens between the cotton bamboo and the vinegar that it actually fizzes and fluffs. I don't use softener, as that builds up in clothing as I learned with cloth diapers it causes repelling issues, so they need to be stripped in order to work properly. I loved my cloth diaper routine, especially when I could put clothing out on the line to dry. I'm from Minnesota, so that time is rather limited. Thanks for all the tips!

So glad I found your channel. I am going to start the fly lady system. I don't have just mount washmore, I have a whole range going on right now. Hahaha

@loseitemwithweightwatchers1206 7 лет назад

I hate doing the washing (laundry) because I don't own a dryer (I live in Australia) so I have to lug the washing out to the clothesline outside to hang it out. It's horrible, especially on a hot day. But it is a great feeling to have it all done in the evening. :)

@Mmolesy 7 лет назад

Hi Kat. Thought id gove you an update on my mount washmore. I finally got fed up and i knew that quite a bit of clothing got damaged by mould. So ive grabbed a roll of trash bags and started tossing mouldy items into bags. So far, i have 4, 56 litre ( around 15 gallons) trashbags almost ready to burst with more to bag up. And im not even halfway thru the pile yet. I estimate i will end up wih 10 to 12 trashbags full. I wont have much left but its my fault it got that way. I also have a speed queen dryer that will be installed as a reward once its all done!! Yay!!

@Mmolesy 7 лет назад

Hi Kat, By the time i went to bed last night, i had 16 bags packed full. And i am going to attack the last of it today. Estimating ill have 20 bags! 😱😨😩 But it feels so good to have that burden out the door. And now Mt wasmore looks more doable!! Yaay!!

@jewdy8915 7 лет назад

You wash your smelly cleaning rags and dish cloths with your bath towels?

@sherip1270 5 лет назад

When all my children were home I did 15 loads per week! Yeah, we are a big family. I was happy when they got old enough to do their own laundry.

@jamesbriggs5740 7 лет назад

I usually put a safety pin in the garment so I don't put in it the dryer. That way if the stain doesn't come out it doesn't get set-in. Kathy B.

@petmomful2260 7 лет назад

I like your videos, thanks for making them. I just want to respectfully say that I use a natural detergent, and woolly dryer balls, because when you use those other products, they pollute the environment, and they release a lot of chemicals in your house. I like to use natural stuff. Luckily there are more and more nice natural products out there. I also found a natural dishwasher detergent and toilet bowl cleaner. I also do larger loads cause I have a large washer and this saves energy and water.

@Kate98755 5 лет назад

Oh now i see you use the mesh bags too! They’re amazing

I wash towels, dish towels, colors (includes undergarments), whites, other like sheets , never separated darks even when I wore alot of black clothes. I notice alot of people separate darks. Ha ha I have.a top loader oldie but goodie Kenmore still washes fine!!

I have the same washer and dryer. We got them brad new last yr, I love them. You're supposed to pit the soap in first with those. I'm so glad I watched this. I wasn't adding water to my doweny ball, it wasn't emptying out right 😂 now I know why. Thank you ❤

@lepp6598 5 лет назад

I don’t sort by color. Lights and darks get washed together in cold. I don’t wear bras so I don’t have to worry about those. Towels get washed in hot. Pods are wasteful. I use liquid at about half the amount recommended on the bottle. A Maytag technician told me that detergent manufacturers overstate the amount to use in order to make you buy more product. I don’t use fabric softener at all. It makes my clothes feel oily. GEAUX TIGERS!

@AMcDub0708 5 лет назад

I do washings differently. I do it by owner of the clothes, and then I break it down by material weight. So my laundry, I do socks, undies, T-shirt’s, undershirts, bras and pjs in a load. Jeans and sweats in another load. Hubby gets socks, undies, work t shirts in a load. Jeans and sweats in another. Nice polo type shirts and sweaters in another load. My 2 toddler boys: everything together since they share a room. My daughters clothes get separated like mine. Everyone has a day assigned to them so it’s not so bad. Black clothes and super delicates are the only items I will pull out from each persons laundry and combine to make a big load of each. I do this routine mainly bc I don’t want to sort each persons clothes back out after drying. And I can’t stand the thought of my husbands socks and underwear being washed with my blouses, it bothers me. Also, jeans are stiff and over time will make stress holes from rubbing against the other items in the wash in things of lighter material like t shirts.

@MartyCan 7 лет назад

I see London, I see France. I see Larry's underpants! Proud that I do not ever have Mount Washmore, but I remember those days with two elementary aged boys. I'd find their clean, still folded clothes in the dirty clothes basket over and over again. This is when they started doing their own laundry.

@bstitcher7 7 лет назад

Marty Watson yes! I have 3 elementary boys and started finding folded clean clothes, buildabear clothes, swim trunks in winter, etc. Finally, I told them for each piece of clothing I find that shouldn't be in there, they lose 15 minutes of game time (they have 1 hr/day on weekdays). After a week of losing game I started seeing less. Now it's been months with no problems :)

@valinarudolph378 7 лет назад

Any tips for doing laundry at the laundromat? I go only once ever 3 weeks. I just keep buying more clothes. Talk about mount Washmore! It's because I have such a tight work schedule. I would love some tips! I don't even know if I can use the pods at the laundromat and by looking at this video I'm pretty sure my loads are too large. So much to learn but I'm up for the challenge!

my problem is that I put all in washer then dryer and into a basket. I tell myself I am going to fold it then I don't. so I end up with Mt. Foldmore !! I so wish I could fix this problem

@monicarossi1313 7 лет назад

A way to prevent that & auto-discipline yourself is to take every basket of laundry after each load is done, & dump it in the middle of your bed (!). Remove your basket til u r done folding. Ta- da! Instant inclination! Ha- ha! :)

Hi flylady Kat. Im a mother of 9 children. And i have the mt washmore to beat all mt washmores! Its winter here at the moment and i have no dryer at the moment. 😱😱 so everything is line dried and depending on the weather can take days to dry. In the meantime, my kiddos keep running out of clothes. So when i seperate mt washmore into more doable piles, do i prioritise the most urgent items? Underwear, jackets etc. Or just do each pile as it comes?

@petmomful2260 7 лет назад

Can you hang a line in the basement? I used to do that in the winter, and I also have a drying rack so I can hang up some stuff.

@MsPrettygirlxo 7 лет назад

Hi Kat! I have a question for you. When you use liquid laundry detergent, do you put the liquid in before you put your clothes in the washer or after? Also, if you put the detergent in before your clothes, do you let some water fill up the washer before adding your clothes or just add your clothes right to it before there is water in the machine?

@Daringtobemyself 7 лет назад

Flylady Kat I was raised by a perfectionist mother (gotta love her ☺) who would come behind me after I did my chores and say "I guess if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." She would proceed to re-do everything I had done. I definitely learned not to bother because I didn't know how to do it "right." I'm learning that getting the job done is much more important than doing it perfectly. Thank you for helping me see the light. I love your personality. So glad I found you!

Bescause right now I have 2 loads to wash, 4 loads to iron and 1 load is hanging and will be dry tomorow..I feel that I am behind non stop...

@marinazdravkovic7402 7 лет назад

Flylady Kat thank you on your answer..it is possible on a nice day but I work so when I come home I just pick up dry clothes and there is a mounin of clothes for me to iron. and then i do it on saturday evening for few hours..I will try to do it as I pick my clothes..that is the only thing I can do..thank you on your videos..you are inspiration and help...

@Lashlove16 6 лет назад

A Better Life With Kat I am single and had mt washmore ..., I now have a laundry basket and as soon as it gets full I wash everything cold on delicate and hang dry if needed ( most of my clothes are dry clean and don’t need to be washed after every use as they are clean and I wore it to the office ,,, End of the day I spray them with fabreeze and let them air out for 24 hours before hanging back in the closet ) so I don’t have much laundry - I wash my towels / robe together in one load weekly - I wash my sheets together in one load weekly Mt washmore is extinct
