How to keep laundry from taking over your weekend
You had plans; relaxing, catching up on errands, maybe even enjoying a Saturday with the family. But somehow, you're four loads deep in laundry with no end in sight.
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Laundry is one of the most time-consuming household chores, and for many families, it eats up the entire weekend. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here’s how to keep laundry from taking over your weekend:
1. Break the “Laundry Day” Mentality. Instead of saving everything for Saturday or Sunday, try doing smaller loads during the week. A well-timed midweek wash can cut your weekend pile in half.
2. Assign Laundry by Person or Room. Instead of sorting everything on laundry day, use separate bins or bags for each person. That way, each load starts quickly and is easy to put away.
3. Invest in Multiple Hampers. Place labeled hampers for lights, darks, and towels in your laundry space. Pre-sorting saves time and makes it easier for other family members to pitch in.
4. Use Timers and Reminders. Set a timer on your phone or smart speaker to switch loads on time. No more re-washing forgotten wet clothes.
5. Stop underestimating how long laundry really takes. Between sorting, switching, folding, and putting things away, even one “quick load” can stretch into 2–3 hours of your day. Multiply that by a whole household and you’ve lost an entire weekend.
Outsourcing your laundry isn’t a luxury; it’s a smart way to reclaim that time for what matters most.
