Laundry. It’s a dirty word in mom circles! Are you overloaded with the amount of laundry you have to do in a week? I have been overwhelmed on more than one occasion with the amount of dirty laundry my household accumulates. It’s time to take charge of your laundry situation!

There is a bright side to laundry-we certainly are blessed to have clothes to wear and the means to wash them. That does not always keep the frustration away when we are staring at 3 baskets of clothes that need to be folded.

I shared 4 easy steps to reduce the time I spend on laundry. They help me stay organized, get my kids helping me…yes, I just said that,…and even maybe, kinda enjoy my little laundry space. (It really is one of the spaces where I get a little mental break in my busy house!) With simple tips you can get your laundry pile moving through an organized weekly system simply. No fussy items to buy, no large space needed, just simple frugal tips to streamline your laundry routine.

4 Steps to Reduce Laundry Burnout

Here are my 4 tips to reduce laundry burnout.

Tip 1: Get organized in the laundry room. Simple labels, designated hampers and easy-to-access supplies streamline the laundry routine. I share laundry organization tips here.

Tip 2: Don’t get burned out with laundry overwhelm. Start each day with a checklist specifically designed for moms. It will help you prioritize the essential tasks each day so you feel m ore accomplished – and your home looks more put together in the process. Win!

Tip 3: Get the kids to help even if they are preschoolers. Start the little kids off with simple chores like folding washcloths and matching socks. They are really great tasks for teaching higher level matching skills which builds into math skills. Chores by age are essential for kids learning to help out at home. Then, when you have high schoolers they will know how to help and make your life easier with their helping hands.

Tip 4: Make your laundry space more fun to be in for all that load sorting and folding time. Simple home decor ideas help you dress up your laundry room so it feels like a peaceful space even if the loads start to pile up a bit. Cute wall art or simple DIY home decor makes the space more homey and special.

If you are looking for more simple tips to organize laundry or keep the kids’ toys organized, I have a few additional tips that can help with laundry and toy storage.

I also share my weekly stay-at-home mom routine including which days I do laundry so I am not washing and folding all week. It just might help reduce laundry burnout in your home too!
