Make Laundry Day Less Of A Drag!

Hands up who loves laundry? Come on, who loves sorting it into all the right piles, checking the pockets for tissues and dollar bills, hanging out to dry, and then folding it and putting it away? What no- one? Well, I’m not surprised at all, because frankly, laundry can be a real drag, one that seems like it never ends! We could, of course, give it to someone else to do – no doubt a quick search for “laundry services near me” will bring up results for people near you who could do it for you. However, if you have all the necessary equipment at home, it makes sense to do it yourself. Luckily, there are some ways you can make this household task easier and even more enjoyable, read the post below to find out what they are.

Pimp your laundry room

If you are lucky enough to have a utility or laundry room, you can make doing the washing much easier and more enjoyable by ensuring it is kitted out properly.

In fact, a pimped-out laundry room can include all sorts of useful features include two washer-dryers to help you keep on top of all those loads. It is also useful to have a sorting system that allows you to sort as you collect laundry from each room, making putting a load in much easier.

You can even have storage space for all your powders, gels, and pastes to keep them neat and tidy, and don’t forget to install a pull-out drying rack for delicates or when it’s raining outside. Then you can even get your laundry done without it cluttering up the rest of the house, something that makes it less of a drag for sure.

Introduce some sweet smells

Is there anything better than the sweet smell of freshly laundered sheets and clothes? Probably not, and to enhance your experience while doing this job, it can help to add scents to the wash. The Scentsy Laundry range is a great way of doing this. They come in all sorts of types like granules for the washer and dryer disks too; you can be sure that your laundry will end up smelling fantastic.

You may also choose to use a scented fabric softener that you can buy from the supermarket. To make sure you are getting good value for money try to use a coupon or wait for when they are on sale.

Of course, there are also people that use purely natural scents in their laundry such as lemon and tea tree, which also have antibacterial properties as well. Something that can help make your wash more effective if you are using a low temperature.

Use a crate system

Lastly, to cut the time and effort you have to put into laundry day, why not use a crate system like the examples you will find here. A crate system is a way of sorting laundered items and storing them in the utility room, all ready for those that they belong to come and pick them up.

This sort of system can save you lots of time because you don’t have to take the clothing upstairs and find somewhere in your family’s closets for them to go. It also encourages the family to take at least some responsibility for their laundry, something that can certainly help to ensure that laundry day isn’t so much of a drag!
