Laundry Tips

Usually the laundry is an easier place to keep tidy due to the fact the kids and hubby tend to avoid it. So these tips just a few little ideas to make life easier.

1. Always keep a second Laundry detergent and Fabric softener ready for the last one to run out. That way when you have one empty you put it on the shopping list and never run out. This is useful for other items round the house.
2. If you can, keep the Ironing board in the laundry and iron clothes as they come in off the line. If you do a little as it dries then you don't end up with a large, overwhelming pile at the end of the wash.
3. Use a clothes airer for delicates and items you don't wish to have fade in the sun. 
4. For fluffy towels, half dry them on the clothes line and finish them off for 10-15 mins in the dryer... nothing better than soft cuddly towels.
5. NO MORE MILDEW SMELLY CLOTHES: If you have a washing machine with a timer setting on it... use it.... if you have errands to run or washing that needs doing overnight you can set it to finish when your ready to hang the clothes out.
   Also if you need uniforms washed on a regular basis you can set it to clean you clothes an hour or two before you are due to get up in the morning so all you need to do is hang then out before you leave for work or throw what you need in the dryer whilst your having breakfast, working out and getting ready.
6. Clean out your washing machine every season. Run a short cycle with  1 cup of bicarbonate of soda, 1 cup of vinegar and 10 drops of your favourite essential oil. This will clean out your pipes, disinfect the machine and leave a nice odour.
7. Keep a small jar next to the washing machine for: buttons that come off in the wash, items out of pockets, money etc.
