Tips On How You Can Save Time While Doing Laundry

Are you one of the many people that often have laundry that is piling up, which often makes you feel like you will never get through it all? However, for most people, there is a need to wash their clothes at least once or twice a week. During those chaotic sports seasons, or when your job is keeping you away from your home for many hours every day, those laundry baskets filled with dirty clothes might seem bottomless.

While we cannot promise you that your laundry will turn into a favorite pastime, we can provide some useful tips to assist you in streamlining these processes. We will teach you ways to cut down on the time you usually spend on doing laundry, which won’t make you feel as if you are constantly chained to your dryer and washer.

Make Sure Your Laundry Room Is Organized

Order and organization is a foundation that you will need when it comes to finding ways to make your laundry much easier. If the room is tidy and neat, you will know where everything belongs and where to find things. This will lower the time you used to spend on searching for dryer sheets, your fabric softener and more. There are a few easy tips that you can read up on in this post when it comes to creating a laundry room that is more efficient.

Sort Through Your Laundry

Making sure the laundry room is more organized is the first step. Taking this another step further will involve trying to resolve order with your mountains of dirty clothes. Here we can suggest that you invest in a few more bins, baskets or hampers and differentiate your clothes into delicates, darks, and lights. You might even want a bin that you label urgent for clothes that have to be cleaned first. You can also use hanging mesh bags to store your socks in to save the time you used to spend trying to fish them out of clean laundry piles. Just this tip alone can make a vast difference when you need to find a way to ensure you get your laundry done quicker.

Do Not Let Your Laundry Pile Up

If you let the dirty clothes pile up to a stage that it becomes overwhelming, you can become your own enemy. If you are passionate about learning the fastest way to get your laundry done, it needs to be dealt with every day. There are different approaches to this. For example, you may want to do the lights on Tuesdays and Thursdays and your darks on alternate days, while Fridays could be for exercise and sports gear along with school uniforms. Weekends could be left for towels and sheets. Find a schedule that matches up to the needs of your household, so that you can keep those piles of clothes under control.

Throw Out Excess Clothes

The less clothes that you have in the house, the less washing you will have to do. So if you really want to cut down the time you spend on laundry, unpack all your clothes into one big pile and throw out clothes that no longer fit you or you hardly ever wear. If you are not sure about what you should throw out, purge the items that no longer fit well or clothes you have not worn in the last 12 months.

Don’t Skip Out On The Folding And Sorting

Laundry is not one of those household tasks that comes to an end as soon as your dryer has stopped.  You still need to pack away the clean garments. If you don’t you will land up with piles of clothes on places like your bed or couch, or even worse it might end up getting washed once again because you cannot remember if it is clean or not.  Hang up or fold clothes directly from the dryer, so the task is done with. This will also prevent wrinkles in certain materials.

Turn It Into A Multitasking Event

If you are driven to save as much time as possible while you do laundry, you can up your game a bit with multitasking. Since your clothes spend some time in either the dryer or washer, this is generally the ideal time to get other tasks done around the home. Set challenges such as packing away your clean dishes or finishing the dirty dishes before the drying cycle comes to an end. You could even add a bit of entertainment into these chores such as listening to a podcast or audiobook while stain treating and sorting. When folding your clean laundry use the time to watch your favorite channel.

You will probably never feel joyful about the fact that laundry always needs to be done, yet these are tips that can assist you in managing your time better.

And when life has become so hectic, that the chance to get around to washing some clothes sounds more like a much-needed vacation, you then need professional cleaning services. Your local COMPANY will offer you with help that you need to get those household duties out of the way, leaving you with a bit of me time.

Customer Testimonials

I was extremely pleased with Ashley’s team and they left my house extra-sparkling, making me look good for my in-laws’ visit. All traces of puppy fur and hard-to-remove gunk removed, and the house smelled clean, like lavender (not harsh chemicals). This is thorough, professional, fairly priced, and courteous service. All the stars!”

“We are very pleased with the service we received with Dashing Maids. Their communication and customer service is superb! Ashley is professional and has great attention to detail. She took the time to take notes on all the areas in our house that I wanted to have cleaned during our first walk through, which I really appreciated. In the past, I’ve done walk throughs with other cleaning companies, explained what I wanted cleaned, they nod “yes” and then didn’t follow through. When Dashing Maids came to clean on our scheduled date, they were very efficient. Everything looked great when they were finished and I’m looking forward to having Dashing Maids return on a regular basis.”

“I have never had a cleaning service, but considered it often. Dashing Maids put a flyer on my door which intrigued me enough to call them. I was impressed with their initiative and enthusiasm that I hired them after our initial meeting. Now every other week I get to come home to a wonderfully clean house with their charming additions that make me smile. I’m not sure they are trying to turn my “black thumb” into a greenish one, but I haven’t killed the lucky bamboo they left as a surprise yet. I’d fully endorse them as a cleaning, Dashing Maids service.”

“It’s so nice to come home to a sparkling clean house! I’ve worked with other cleaning companies in the past and Dashing Maids always provides a more thorough clean than I’ve found with other companies for a very reasonable price. Plus, they’re great with my dog and don’t mind that he’s at home when they come to clean. I highly recommend Dashing Maids!”

I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable cleaning company.”
