Top Tips - Laundry

Laundry Carts

Use a divided laundry cart with wheels to sort your laundry into items such as whites, colours and other washing items such as delicates, soiled or work clothes This way the whole family can get into the habit of pre sorting clothes, meaning less time spent in the laundry.

Airers

As we try to use the drying machine less, an efficient airer can save you money. Hang heavy items like jeans inside out and give them a firm shake first so they dry with fewer wrinkles and avoid fading.

Hangers

Hang your washed clothes and delicates onto hangers and then onto the hanging line. When dry, place straight into the wardrobe. This way your clothes will need minimal ironing or no ironing at all, saving you time and money!

Loose Change & Missing Socks

Place a container or money box in the laundry ready to collect loose coins from clothing. When your container is full you can treat yourself to something special!

Hang a laundry bag or use a container near your washing machine to collect missing sock pairs. When the missing sock turns up, you know where to find the other pair.

Cleaning Tools

Find your laundry and cleaning tools and products faster by creating a home for them in easy to access storage containers or baskets. Don’t forget to label them.

Stain Removal

To make stain removal easier and faster, use a stain remover either in soap or liquid form. Howards recommends Exit Soap or Exit Spray.

Door Space

Make use of unused door space in the laundry by hanging an over the door hanging rack or hook to hang your smalls such as underwear and socks.
