6 Proven Laundry Shortcuts to Make Parents Life Easier

Are you overwhelmed with laundry? Are piles of clothes stacking up overnight? You are not alone. Ask any parent – they know the dilemma. Work, school runs, homework, meals – laundry tends to be a losing battle.

If you are also tired of managing all the things on your own, then here are some tricks that can help you save your time and relax. These are normal family hacks for parents with busy schedules. You don’t need to have any special equipments to get started.

1. Create a Simple Sorting System

Don’t sort laundry on wash day because it is time-consuming and not a productive use of your time. Instead, sort as you go. Have three laundry baskets in your home. One for whites, one for darks, and one for colors. Train your children to throw their dirty clothes into the correct basket.

Once a basket is full, it is ready to wash. No sorting needed, just grab the basket, and go. This one tip will save at least 15 minutes every laundry load.

Some families use a rolling cart with bags. Others use stackable bins. Choose whatever fits best in your space. The most important thing is to make it easy enough for even the youngest of children to do.

2. Wash at Night

You can have your washing machine rinse your clothes while you sleep. Simply load your machine before bed. If your machine has a delay timer function, use it. In the morning, your clothes will be clean and ready for the dryer.

This tip is a small but significant game-changer. Now you’re not using your precious time during the day waiting for wash cycles to finish. The washing machine works overnight while you sleep, and you awaken to clean laundry.

If you do not have a delay timer, simply start the wash cycle before you go to bed. In the morning, immediately transfer your clothes from the washer to the dryer. This will take about two minutes. This is much more pleasant than spending your evening doing laundry.
