DAY FOUR

The Laundry

Oh my god my worse fears!!
I admit I hate to FOLD clothes
BUT, some of us have to do it everyday
just to make sure our family is NOT naked!!


Ok here we go with what I found!!!

Step1:
Sorting: If we have to sort the dirty clothes it may take longer to put a load in the washer. We might decide not to do it at all. Try this: have three baskets in the closet or wherever you keep dirty clothes. One for whites, colored, and one for good clothes that you don't want to wash with the other things. As you undress, place the dirty clothes in the proper basket. Then hang up the items that can be worn again. The "Do It Now Principle" kicks in. Even little children can be taught this!

Step2:
Washing: Only do a load if you have time to do everything:
wash, dry, fold, and put away.

Step3:
Drying: Always take the clothes out of the dryer the minute you hear the buzzer.
This saves you from ironing. If you have washed blankets &
over-sized towels (beach sized)
place them out side on top of your truck hood,
or over chairs on patio, or on a clothes line
(which I do not have-Truck works fine for me)
Let nature dry them out. Save on energy & money!!!

Toss in dryer with a dryer smell good sheet for a quick fluff for 10 mins.


Step4:
Folding: Fold up the clothes as soon as you get them from the dryer.
This way you can 1/2 the time skip ironing-
Plus ultimate the piles that will sit & sit on the sofa till when ever u get to it!!

Step5:
Putting the clothes away: No one likes to live out of a laundry basket.
Have a place for everything.
Even if you have to label the drawers for a while until
you get used to putting them in their own place.
Make the children help (if you don't have kids I have a few you can borrow)
