5 Easy Laundry Tips for 2020
Let’s face it, laundry is probably not your favorite thing to do, but it’s necessary to keep your clothes fresh and clean. Just because it is a necessity does not mean that it needs to be difficult or take all day to complete. Here are a few tips to make your laundry experience a little more pleasant and efficient.
1. Air Out Your Washer
This may seem obvious, but some people do not realize that your washing machine can grow mold and mildew if you do not air it out. Especially if you have a front loader. After each wash, leave the door open on your washing machine to let the inside dry out. If you do not, it can lead to bad smelling laundry and a less efficient washing machine. When in doubt, air it out.
2. Sort Your Laundry in Pop Up Hampers
Building on the idea of keeping your laundry room cleaner, consider sorting your laundry into hampers instead of leaving it on the floor or in one big hamper all mixed together. Consider buying some inexpensive pop-up hampers and sort your laundry into washing groups. This will help you to switch between loads more quickly, and will help you to be more efficient.
3. Use Dryer Balls
Do you use dryer sheets? They can make your clothes soft, but they are full of chemicals, can leave residue, and they are not great for the environment. As an alternative, consider getting dryer balls. Wool dryer balls are one of the best ways to help the environment while helping yourself. They help you cut down dry time, they make your clothes soft, and do it all without leaving residue and chemicals behind. They’re also reusable and easy to store.
4. Clean Your Washing Machine Once a Month
Dirty washing machines are no joke. They smell, they are grimy, and they do not perform well. So it is very important to keep your washer clean. Some people like to use vinegar, baking soda, or other methods to clean their washing machine. However, the easiest and cleanest way is to use a washing machine cleaner tablet. It’s pre-measured, has no harsh chemicals, and most importantly, it cleans your washer very well. Use one of these every month or so, and your washing machine will run more efficiently and will not stink.
5. Clean the Air in Your Laundry Room
Laundry is supposed to smell clean. So if your laundry room smells bad, more than likely your laundry will too. You could try candles or air freshening sprays, but they aren’t the most safe or effective options. Instead, try using an air purifying bag. Air purifying bags are full of activated charcoal that purifies your air, eliminates odors, and eliminates moisture in the air. This will make your washing area smell fresh, and it will decrease pathogen growth.
