Tips for Laundry Haters | Lavanderia Raleigh NC

We are sure there are times that you could wash and dry clothes the entire day and will need to start over the next day as well. If you have a typical sized family you will more than likely be doing 8-10 loads of laundry in a week.

If your family is larger then you are certainly doing more loads than that. If you hate the laundry chore and would like to gain back a little of the time laundry steals from you then this blog is for you. Let’s look at some awesome tips and shortcuts to help you get a handle on this much dreaded chore.

Hate the sorting chore? You are probably not surprised to know there are folks who sort and many who do not. If you are a sorters then you will divide the laundry into several different loads.  This will usually be whites, colors, and dark’s. If you are a non-sorter, of course, that’s self-explanatory. If you are hesitant to do laundry because of the sorting issue then by all means ask yourself how important this step really is for you. Clothing that has been sorted will more than likely be cleaner and stay newer looking longer but if you are a busy family with small children then it’s OK to not sort. The clothes will get clean but be careful about anything that might bleed color onto the wash.

One of the biggest issues when it comes to laundry is forgetting to boot it into the dryer or leaving clothing in the dryer to long. This can cause us to have to rewash a load of clothing again because of deep wrinkling or mildew is setting in from leaving it in the washer too long. This just cause us more anxiety and stress. Use these tips to help you remember:

• Throw in a load of laundry before bedtime. Use the timer feature to start the load an hour or two before your normal wake up time. As soon as you are up and about boot that load to the dryer. After breakfast check to see if its dry and fold and hang items quickly.
• Timers can work as well. Many of us have a built-in one on the kitchen stove or you can purchase a mobile one. Use your phone if needed.

If hanging and folding the laundry is the thing you hate most then find the right area to do this chore. Only fold the most important things. No one will see wrinkled underwear so don’t stress about that to much. Enlist the family to help with the folding and also the putting away of your laundry. Small children will learn early on about how to do the laundry and will get better at it over time. Make the putting away a non-negotiable in your household.

Spring Cleaning Routine | Lavanderia Raleigh NC

Did you know that even this early in the season change there are loads of things we can begin to do now to ensure we get to enjoy those fun-filled, lazy days with our family to the fullest?

Developing a really good cleaning routine that involves the entire family is one of the best ways to make summer fun really happen.  Even the smallest of children can begin to help out with simple chore such as sorting the laundry and putting away their own folded laundry.  In order to get the home ready for summer you will need to begin to deep clean it.  The following are some tip for that as well as tips on washing winter clothing.

To start you will want to move one room at a time.  You will also want to work top to bottom.  Dust your ceilings and walls to remove the winter dust bunnies that have accumulated along with the spider webs that multiply during the colder months. Be sure to dust those light fixtures as well.  You can then begin to dust shelves, and bookcases, pictures, and knicknacks.

Polish all of the furniture and then you can vacuum and mop the floors last.  As you work the room you will also want to remove old newspapers,magazines, and anything that does not belong in this room.

Look around for things that need to be freshened such as pillows, curtains, and accessories.  Adding some pretty, fresh spring/summer decorations will make the room brighter and lift your spirit as well.  Continue throughout your home into each and every room.  This should not be accomplished in one day or even two.  Take your time and do the job well.

Once this is accomplished call a family meeting to determine routines you would like to put in place to make the spring/summer everything your family wants it to be.  This is also a good time to have each family member go to their rooms (so to speak) and begin to help you transition their clothing form one season to the new.  Many items in our wardrobes can help us transition to warmer weather.  There are however items that can be laundered and stored away for next winter.

Heavy coats, scarves, mittens, sweaters can be put away for now.  Lighter sweaters, cardigans, and  jackets will be the norm now.  Have them bring all of these items to one are so that you can determine what amount of laundering of them needs to be done.
