The Lazy Girl's Guide To Laundry

Who likes to do laundry?

Wierdos that's who. It takes to long. You have to keep getting up to check on your clothes. All that waiting, picking up, putting in, folding, hanging up and don't let you leave your clothes in the dryer. Then you will have to re-dry them so they won't be wrinkly. When you are a lazy girl like me, laundry is the worse thing on the to do-list. But since I have been growing up into adulthood and living on my own its time to develop a routine that will ensure that my clothes are properly taken care of. And that's what I did here this is what I call "the lazy girl guide to laundry."

Get Through Laundry Quicker So You Can Go Back To Being Lazy!

A good lazy person finishes everything they need to get done efficiently first so they can go back to laziness. When it comes to laundry you can't just throw everything in the washer and dryer and leave it there. If you want to do you laundry the efficient and lazy way then keep reading...

1. Motivation. To start doing your laundry you have to have motivation and you can't let everything pile up to the point that you have nothing to wear. Smells are my motivation. I like to go to the laundry isle and smell are the fabric softens and so my motivation is that I want my clothes to smell like downy infusions. So find some motivation and get your laundry done because the more you let it pile up the less motivation you will have to do it in the future.
2. Schedule. Plan when you are going to wash you clothes. I wash my clothes and towels every two weeks. And my bedding every month. If blood Mary makes a visit I usually wash my sheets after she leaves. 
3. Sorting. This is the easiest step because you get to sit on the floor! Pour our all your dirty clothes on the floor and sort them into four to six piles; darks, lights, whites, delicates, towels, and bedding. when you have a garment with multiple colors find the dominant color and wash it with that family. 
4. Darks. I get together all the blacks, greys, reds, dark pinks, blues, and jeans into one pile. Wash this pile in cold water.
5. Lights. This is very self explanatory. If it isn't dark or white it is a light, ego: includes pinks, mint, yellow, and creme.
6. Delicates. Delicates would be anything that has a hand wash tag on it. That means that the washing machine and dryer will created to much tension on the fibers causing them to weaken or shrink. Bras are also dedicates because of the wires, straps and sometimes lace. We all want to preserve our precious bras so please hand wash them and hang them to dry. If you don't want to hand wash put them in the washer on delicate setting but do not put them in the dryer, let them hang to dry.
7. Towels. Always make sure you have clean towels and face clothes. To keep your towels nice and fluffy do not use fabric softener. Fabric softener is like hair conditioner so the way hair conditioner can build up on your hair and make it brittle it can also do the same to your towels.
8. Bedding. Do not neglect your sheets, pillow covers and comforter because they can harbor bacteria. If you are one of those people that likes to sleep in the nude there could be eccoli bacteria on your sheets. Your pillows can be one of the causes of your break outs so please wash those pillow covers.
9. Washer. Do not overload the washer because your clothes may not get as clean. Make sure you adjust your temperature of your water so you will not shrink your clothes. Washing all clothes in cold water in saves energy and is safer for your clothes. Make sure you adjust your water level to fit the size of your load. This may seem like a bunch of minor details but it will save you clothes and time.
10. Dryer. Do not over load your dryer because they will take longer to dry. Fill the dry half way up and use dryer balls. Dryer balls are these cute little spiky balls that dries your clothes faster, prevents static and gets rid of wrinkles.

And there you have it. In all this processes will take you about and hour and a half so you can go back to doing what you do best...nothing!
