Okay, my friends!  With school being back in full swing, you are probably running super low on time.  I have three kids and oh my goodness, I get it, I have barely had time to sleep this last week.  It’s only been one week of back to school and I am already behind on laundry. I am back at it though.  It’s time to get my house back in order. In order to do so though, I cannot spend all of my time in the laundry room.  That’s why I am going back over these tips for saving time on laundry.

Tips for Saving Time on Laundry

• Let the kids do their own. Kids are more capable than you think.  You can save yourself a tremendous amount of time by giving them the responsibility of doing their own laundry.  You will be amazed at how much time you are able to find after handing off this chore.
• Make sure that all laundry is in hampers.  Laundry is time consuming enough, you might as well not add to it by having to pick everyone’s laundry up as you go.  If it is all placed into hampers, you will save time.
• Don’t wash your jeans.  Okay, this is only half serious.  You do need to wash your jeans, just not as often as you probably are washing them currently.  It’s actually not even good to wash your jeans very often as they break down easier, lowering their life span.  
• Choose a “laundry day”. Do your laundry just one or two days per week keeps you from spending time each day doing laundry which helps prevent you from laundry burn out (it’s a real thing…trust me).
• Make sure you are washing clothes that need it.  If you are a parent, you know exactly what I am talking about.  I am constantly rewashing clothes that the kids put on for 5 minutes and then they drop on the floor only to be put through the laundry again.  Make a rule that the kids put the clothes right back in the dresser or closet.
