If your house is anything like mine you don’t have a set laundry day, rather it is an endless pile that must be tamed on a daily basis. A never ending pile of wash, dry, fold, and repeat…over and over… sigh. So if there are ways to make it easier you better believe I’m in and of course I wanna share the tips with you. We are in this laundry day battle together, right? Here is our battle plan…
5 Ways to Make Laundry Day a Snap
Pre Sort– Keep a 3 bin sorter in your laundry room to seperate whites, darks, and towels. Try to bring clothes from all over the house here and sort daily to keep it under control. Train the other humans in your house to use the sorting system- and the dog if he is into laundry organization.
Pre-Spray Stains– As soon as a spill occurs go ahead and spray, scrub, blot, or rub that little sucker to stop it from setting in. Don’t give it a chance to take hold and ruin clothes. Designate a special spot in the laundry room for those, a shelf, basket, or hooks.
Enlist Help– Those little minions who create messes as fast as you clean them? The ones with markers on their forehead and oatmeal stuck in their hair? Yeah them, use them, even toddlers can pickup scattered dirty clothes and bring them to the laundry room. Make it a game, they will never even know they are helping.
Use TideⓇ HE Turbo Clean- One thing that may be putting a wrench in and slowing down laundry day is extra suds. TideⓇ HE Turbo Clean uses a quick dissolving Smart Suds technology that help prevent HE machines from using unnecessary additional rinse cycles- up to 25 minutes of cycle time! More capacity than a traditional top loading machine means that your wash can have up to 40% more dirt- ick! The majority of HE washing machines have considerably larger drums (40%) than your standard traditional machine, that adds up to about 32 pounds of laundry per load! To clean all that you need the right tool err detergent for the job. You can grab it any formulation you prefer- Tide Ⓡ liquid, TideⓇ Pods, or the TideⓇ powder. HE washer manufacturers recommend the HE Turbo Clean formula as their #1 choice for clean. Always follow dosing instructions and match your load and soil level with the correct amount of detergent to get your best results.
Watch the What’s Up Moms Video– These ladies crack me (and my kids up) they have their own channel on Youtube where they offer great advice and comic relief that will help you get through the stinky socks and pizza covered t shirts. Right now they have teamed up with TideⓇ HE Turbo Clean to conquer the laundry! Check them out and see how they plan to do just that…

I used to really like to do my laundry when I could hang it out on the line, I still like doing it, esp if I have Tide. I want to try Tide HE, great invention!!

I always have two bins where I have my clothes sorted so on wash day, I do not have to spend all that time sorting. I like the tips on making laundry day a snap. I use Tide for all my washing needs, and love it!

I really need to do the pre-sort tip! Everything is always in piles mixed together. Really need to invest in a 3 bin sorter, but I wish I could find a huge one.
Janet W. says
I find that pre spraying stains really helps to get the clothing 100% clean!
Sabrina @ Dinner, then Dessert says
My husband does the laundry ever since I loaded the washing machine so full it started moving around and spewing water! He might be able to use some of these tips!

We love Tide. I really hate doing the laundry, but the pods do make it a bit easier!
Autumn @Mamachallenge says
Great tips! I love my HE washer and Tide products!
Nicole B says
I am thankful my washing machine is fairly large. There are six people in our household, which equals a ton of laundry for me. Tide is an awesome detergent.
Liz Mays says
Anything that makes my laundry routine easier is so welcome! Laundry is definitely not my favorite chore.

I am not a fan of laundry at all! I wish I had someone to do it for me. But, I do enjoy getting the kids to help and make it more fun for us all.
Sarah @ Must Have Mom says
Great tips. I openly welcome ANYTHING that will make laundry day easier. It’s my least favorite chore.

I have been looking at the High Efficiency sets in the stores. I would love to make the switch. We do a ton of laundry here.

I have had my kids helping me sort the laundry for years now. Everyday is laundry day in our house. I do a load a day just to keep up.
Ann Bacciaglia says
I wish i could get help from my kids with the laundry. Now that they are teenagers i should stop washing the clothes so they have to do it themselves. I will have to teach them to sort the clothes first and how to read the labels.
Kelsey Apley says
I do laundry too much, ha! I do good until it comes time to put it away.
Tammy Woodall says
We have a Bin that everyone is supposed to put in separates, but no one buy I seem to do so. All of your tips are good ones. I’ll have to work on the tip about the “Enlist Help.”
Allie D. says
Laundry is never ending in our house. I do my best to make it a weekly chore. I pre-sort and try to get my husband to help fold and put the clothes away.
Cathi says
I grew up with Tide in the house. I’ve followed my mother’s example and have used it for the 40 years of my adult married life. I wouldn’t dream of using any other brand.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
I feel like my laundry never ends. I use Tide all the time 🙂
Dawn says
I’ve been using a three bin sorting system for a long time, and it’s great. It saves a ginormormous amount of time.
Jennifer says
HE machines are awesome. My mom has one, and it can do 3 loads worth of what mine can do IN ONE LOAD.
