Managing laundry can be one of the most frustrating parts of caring for a home. But there are ways to make taking care of it much, much easier!

Here are my top ten laundry tips! These are handy, easy to implement, and virtually guaranteed to make your laundry “load” lighter!

Use steam cleaning. Steam cleaning can drastically cut down your laundry time. Plus, it helps to break down stains, making it easier to remove them!

Get rid of stains immediately. Even better, try to treat clothing stains as soon as they happen. Keep a stain-fighter in your laundry room for quick access.

Set up two hampers: one for colors and one for whites. No sorting on wash day!

Sort your laundry as you go through the week.

Go easy on the water. Be sure to adjust your water level to the amount of clothes you’re washing at the time.

Do a load a day. Try to do one load of laundry each day. Keeping on top of your family’s laundry during the week can save you from dealing with a mountain of laundry at a time.

Don’t forget the gentle cycle! Separate your delicates and use the gentle cycle to wash them all at once. That keeps you from having to wash them by hand!

Shake your clothes before drying. When you take your clothes out of the washer, be sure to give them a good shake before placing them in the dryer.
