5 Ways to Make Laundry Easier

Laundry…the dreaded chore that NEVER ends. I don’t know about you, but some days I’d rather scrub toilets than do my laundry. Sometimes I procrastinate until the dirty clothes pile up so high that I don’t even know where to begin. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the end product, just not the process. Despite my strong dislike, laundry is necessary and inescapable. Learn how to save a little time and make laundry easier with these 5 simple tips.
5 Ways to Make Laundry Easier
1. Presort laundry – Have 3 separate laundry bins in your home: one for all of your white clothes, darker colors, and lights. To save you some sorting time, place the clothes in their corresponding bins as soon as they become dirty.
2. Pin socks together – Nothing is more annoying that finishing a load of laundry and having an odd number of socks. In order to avoid this problem, pin socks together with a safety pin before tossing them in the hamper.
3. Break up the loads – Instead of waiting until the laundry piles up, do one load of laundry each day. Hopefully this will make laundry less overwhelming.
4. Pre-treat stains beforehand – Treat stains as they happen. The second my son’s clothes become soiled, I spray, soak, and put them in the hamper. This way, as I’m doing my laundry, I don’t forget about clothes that need to be treated.
5. Brighten clothes with Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach – Keep your clothes fresher and brighter by using Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach. I don’t know about you, but in the past, I’ve shied away from using bleach. I always worry that I’m going to ruin my clothes. And then there’s the scent…I’m not the biggest fan of the smell of bleach. However, using Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach has opened my eyes to whiter and fresher laundry.
The benefits to Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach are endless. My whites and delicates that were once dingy and discolored are now transformed into bright, crisp, and clean clothes. Then there’s the disinfecting benefit – it’s great knowing that my clothes are germ-free after using Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach. Although this powerful formula gets rid of stains, it’s still gentle enough for my son’s clothing. Using Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach to brighten my clothes leaves my clothes smelling fresh – in fact, by far the best scented bleach I’ve smelled. To say the least, Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach is now a staple in my home.
Make laundry easier with Clorox My UltimateCare Bleach. Now available at Target, Clorox My UltimateMyCare Bleach is a must for every household.

Pinning socks together would require touching my teenage sons socks.Shudder
I love the idea of pinning socks together. That would make my life so much easier!
These are great tips! I keep three different hampers in the house, and try to stay on top of pretreating stains.
I love your idea about pinning socks together. Socks is always the last thing I put away and match up. I wish I had some handy tips. I do button and zip jeans before washing them.
I need to try some of this. MY whites are soo dingy. I just picked up some Clorox Colorsafe at the grocery store today.
I too use Clorox bleach for washing my whites. Also, adding a fabric softener to the load just makes everything smell and feel so good.
I don’t have to do this as much, but when I had small babies, I would put their socks in a lingerie bag. It was the best way to keep all those little bitty socks together!
I have never heard of this product. I will have to check it out next time I go to the store!
My girlfriend does all of these things except for the sock pinning. I’m going to tell her about that one.
These are all really great tips. If you do a few small things as you go, it makes the actual task of the doing the laundry much less intensive.
These are great tips. I’ve never thought of having more than one hamper. THAT is an awesome idea.
I love bleach for whites, but my biggest complaint about it is how harsh it is. This sounds like a great alternative to the harsh stuff I’ve been using. Thanks!
Great tips… My inlaws live with us, so we have a deal where I do all the laundry and she folds… ha! It works… I have never thought of pinning socks together. So smart
Pinning the socks together is GENIUS! We have a severe case of phantom socks, so this is THE tip of the post for me.
I used to be terrible at doing laundry. I hated sorting and often washed everything all together. I would do huge loads. Now i do smaller loads and with like materials.
pinning socks together is a great idea! I can’t even tell you how many pairs of socks we have lost the last year alone.
I like your tip to pin socks together. I also presort into piles before i start to wash.
I need more Clorox bleach! I am interested in trying this product too!
Good tips. My ticks to make laundry easier? haha… Ummm, throw it all in one load and hope for the best. It usually works! 馃榾
I usually roll the top of my socks together so I can keep the mates together. Never thought of pinning them together. That’s a great idea. I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for the tips. I love Clorox products and use many of them.
These are some great tips. I love doing laundry, but it often takes me a long time to do it.
Presort laundry and pretreat stains is the best tips for helping me with my laundry. I have everyone help sort and fold their own clothes because I do not think one person should do all the work.
ok i have never ever thought of pining the socks together what a fabulous idea thank you
I always pre-treat stain too. This is a great list, I can’t think of anything else to add, I shy away from bleach too. except on white or light colored sheets and towels and I’m so glad that Clorox now makes My UltimateCare Bleach. it will be a laundry staple for me as well. Thanks for sharing!
I always like to pretreat laundry that needs it, I also presort everything, I love saving time when doing laundry, who doesn’t. And I love Clorox products.
