[quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound a little crazy but I read a book on laundry that actually helped a lot- the book is called laundry love. His approach is basically you don’t do all these constant loads. You separate everything and do it all one day. This sounds terrible if you haven’t read the book so I do recommend skimming it.

Basically if you have one day a week you work from home that is laundry day - in the morning before work you gather everything -everything! Sheets (we do this every two weeks at most not going to lie), towels, all kid and adult clothes. Then you separate by blacks, blues/greens, purples/reds/browns, and whites. Then you use speed wash (he goes into why this is best) then dry. So throughout workday then I just throw in load, throw in dryer, throughout the day repeat.

Then after I put the kids to bed that night I fold it all and put it away THAT NIGHT. At the latest I do this the next night. One of his KEYS is you have to get out of the cycle of CONSTANT laundry because it makes it feel awful instead of like a completed task you can move on from.

Having the set day has really helped. We get off on weeks we are sick or things like that but generally it works wayyy better than before when I hated laundry with a passion.[/quote]
