Laundry Tips

Do you do all the laundry once a week? Or maybe you prefer throwing in a load every day? No matter how hard we work, the laundry is one of those chores that never seems to end. And of course, that's because it doesn't!

There are ways to make this never ending chore easier. If you work outside the home, trying putting in a load every morning before you leave. Then when you get home, immediately toss the wet clothes in the dryer. Put them away before you go to bed.

If you have room in your laundry room, install a closet rod so you can hang up clothes when they come out of the dryer. When our twins were still at home, I had a rolling cart with a shelf for each of them. I hung up shirts, good pants and dresses, but everything else when on their respective shelf. It was their responsibility to put it away, not mine.

Socks, socks, socks. Yes, I know, the laundry monster eats a lot of them, but for the ones he doesn't want, keep a basket near the dryer. Throw all the socks in their when they come out of the dryer. Then you can sort them while watching television.
