My Favorite Laundry Hack of All Time: 20 Tips to Save You Time and Effort
Laundry can be a chore, but it doesn’t have to be a burden. I’m going to share 20 amazing laundry hacks that will save you time and effort. These aren’t your typical TikTok tips like rolling your pants into a burrito or pinning socks together—those are great, but this is about pure, unadulterated laziness. Let’s dive in!
1. Stop Sorting Your Laundry
Want to save time? Stop sorting your laundry by colors. As long as everything has been washed before and you wash on cold, you can mix colors without worry. The only exception? Towels and bedding, which I wash on hot to kill germs.
2. Baking Soda for Bright Whites
To keep your whites bright, add half a cup of baking soda, vinegar, or OxiClean to your load. This also makes your towels super soft.
3. Ditch Dryer Sheets
I hate dryer sheets—they’re the bane of my existence. Instead, I use wool dryer balls. They’re especially great for sheets to prevent that annoying ball of wetness. For static, use a ball of aluminum foil. It eliminates static and lasts up to two months without damaging your clothes or dryer.
4. Use Multiple Laundry Hampers
Keep a laundry hamper in every room to avoid mixing clothes. This makes it easy to wash and dry clothes without sorting. If you do need to sort, use big sorting baskets for quick and efficient organization.
5. Mesh Bag for Wet Rags
Avoid the nasty smell from wet rags by hanging a mesh bag in your laundry room for wet items. This keeps things fresh and stink-free.
6. Prevent Front Loader Mildew
My favorite laundry gadget is a door prop from Amazon. It keeps the door of my front loader slightly open, preventing that gross mildew smell.
