I have to admit laundry is not one of my favorite chores. I mean what chore really is? But laundry day is especially tiring and time-consuming. There’s all that loading and unloading, sorting and folding… I’m getting a headache just thinking about it.
So wouldn’t it be amazing if you could simplify laundry and make it that much more bearable? With these tricks now you can.
1. Wash Darks Inside Out
This is a must-try trick if you want the color to last longer. Doing so will prevent clothes from fading. Try it and see.
2. Do Up Zippers
And while you at it, make sure you zip up all those zippers because those pesky teeth can wreak havoc on other clothes. I do this.
3. Get A Good Hamper
A good hamper is a must especially if you can get one that separates whites from colors. This one is a great find.
4. Keep That Washing Machine Clean
If you’re lucky enough to have laundry facilities in the house, make sure that washer stays clean by using cleaning tablets such as these.
5. Avoid Build-Up With Wool Dryer Balls
These nifty wood dryer balls are just as good as liquid softener or sheets and don’t leave any nasty build-up. Hooray!
6. Get Rid Of Lint In A Jiffy
I absolutely can’t stand lint on my clothes and towels so I love that this handy brush comes to the rescue.
