Laundry Hacks and Organization Ideas


Laundry is one of my least favorite chores. When I feel like my to-do list is never-ending laundry is often the first thing to go until, at least the folding it part. I don’t mind washing the laundry it’s the folding it that seems never-ending.

For a long time, I would wash the laundry and dump it on the bed and say I would get to it later. But later I would throw it back in a basket so we could go to bed and then the next day I would put it back on the bed and repeat.

If I put the laundry on the guest bed a mountain of laundry would stay on the bed until someone came to visit.

Something needed to change our clothes were always super wrinkled and hard to find.  Added to that I always felt behind, I felt guilty that the laundry wasn’t done.

Stacey at The Soccer Mom Blog shares how doing one load of laundry a day can help you stay ahead.

I found so many great resources for getting organized and stoping laundry from controlling your life. But no matter how many great resources you have, if you don’t make a change and find something that works for you, laundry is still going to be something that you hate doing.

My Solution

I have found that for me it works best if instead of doing all of the laundry in one or two days each week. I would do a batch or two each morning and as the clothes came out of the dryer I would fold them.

I have been doing this for just over a month with only a couple slip-ups and it has been amazing. Just changing those simple things has made doing the laundry so much better. By only doing one or two loads a day it’s easier to have time to fold the clothes as they come out of the dryer.

There are still a lot of ways I could make doing the laundry easier and I’m hoping to get better at the whole process. But right now I’m just happy not having the unfolded mountain of laundry looming over my head.

By taking control of my laundry I can spend more time doing important things like playing with my kids or reading a good book.
