Plus, discover how My Laundry Room can take the hassle out of laundry for busy London and Surrey residents.

1. Sort Smarter, Not Harder

Use colour-coded laundry bags to pre-sort clothes as you undress. This saves time on laundry day and ensures your clothes are washed correctly.

Pro Tip: Assign a bag for whites, colours, and delicates to make sorting a breeze.

2. Pre-Treat Stains Immediately

Keep a stain remover pen or spray in your laundry room for quick fixes. The sooner you treat a stain, the easier it is to remove.

Did You Know? For tough stains, My Laundry Room offers professional stain removal services.

3. Use Vinegar as a Fabric Softener

White vinegar is a natural, affordable alternative to fabric softeners. It keeps colours vibrant and removes odours without harsh chemicals.

How to Use: Add half a cup to the rinse cycle.

4. Dry Clothes Faster with a Towel

Add a dry towel to your dryer to absorb moisture and speed up drying time. This also reduces wrinkles!

Bonus Hack: Use wool dryer balls to soften clothes and reduce static.

5. Fold Clothes Straight from the Dryer

Folding clothes while they’re still warm prevents wrinkles and saves time on ironing.

Pro Tip: For perfectly pressed clothes, trust My Laundry Room’s professional ironing services.

6. Invest in Mesh Bags

Mesh laundry bags protect delicates and prevent socks from going missing. They’re a must-have for any laundry routine.

Why It Matters: Delicates like bras and lingerie last longer when washed in mesh bags.

7. Turn Clothes Inside Out

Washing clothes inside out preserves prints and reduces fading. This is especially important for dark jeans and graphic tees.

Fun Fact: Turning clothes inside out also helps prevent pilling.

8. Clean Your Washing Machine Monthly

Run an empty cycle with vinegar or a washing machine cleaner to remove buildup and keep your machine running efficiently.

Pro Tip: A clean machine means cleaner clothes!

9. Use Dryer Balls

Dryer balls reduce static, soften clothes, and cut drying time. They’re a reusable, eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets.

Why It Matters: Dryer balls can save you money and reduce waste.

10. Label Laundry Baskets

Assign a laundry basket for each family member to streamline sorting and folding.

Bonus Hack: Use separate baskets for clean and dirty clothes to stay organised.
