Laundry doesn’t have to take over your weekend. With a simple system, you can stay ahead and avoid those overwhelming “mountain of clothes” days.
Here’s an easy weekly routine that actually works.
Step 1: Sort As You Go
Use 3 hampers:
-
Lights
-
Darks
-
Towels
This saves tons of time on laundry day.
Step 2: Wash Small Loads More Often
Instead of:
❌ 6 giant loads Sunday
Try:
✅ 1 load per day
Smaller loads clean better and fold faster.
Step 3: Set a Laundry Timer
Set a phone timer:
-
Wash cycle
-
Dryer cycle
No forgotten wet clothes = no mildew smell.
Step 4: Fold Immediately
Don’t dump clean laundry on a chair.
Fold right away:
-
Takes 5 minutes
-
Saves ironing later
Step 5: Keep Stain Spray Handy
Treat stains instantly — before they set.
Keep a spray bottle near your hamper.
Step 6: Outsource When You’re Busy
Some weeks are just packed:
-
Work
-
Kids
-
School
-
Sports
