Happy New Year everyone! I don’t know about you, but the start of a new year always gets me in the mood for a fresh start in all areas of my life! A new diet, new exercise routine, and a clean and organized house.
One of the ways I’m working on getting organized is focusing on getting rid of the clutter around the house. When we moved last spring, we got rid of a lot of the stuff we had accumulated over the years, but after moving into a much smaller home, I can see that we still have a way to go. I’m tackling the organization and clean out of a different area each week in January.
This week, it’s my mission to get the laundry room in ship shape. I hate to admit that one of our biggest culprits of clutter is the laundry! Both dirty and clean, we’ve not been doing a good job as a family following our routine.
I actually have a pretty good routine for handling the laundry. We do one big laundry day per week. This day includes all clothing and towels and then every other week, I include all the bedding too. (I like to wash the sheets and put them right back on – saves folding those darn flat sheets, lol!)
The children bring down their hampers and I do minimal sorting – pulling out anything that is new or very saturated with color for a separate load and then wash each person’s laundry in its own load. Once dry, I toss the clothes into the person’s basket and return the basket to the laundry stacker for the child to fold and put away after school. Towels go into their own basket for either the hubby or me to fold.
The first item on the agenda to help us get back into the weekly laundry routine is to give the laundry room a good declutter and cleaning! I’ll be tossing anything that doesn’t belong, organize the shelves and get stocked up on all my favorite laundry supplies.
I can’t paint the laundry room since we’re renting, but I can spiff it up by organizing the shelves and supplies with cute baskets and adding this colorful trio of Wash, Dry and Fold printable artwork to the blank wall. Aren’t they cute? I made the prints in Photoshop and uploaded them here in case you wanted to print a set for your laundry room. The prints are size 8 by 10, but can be sized down a bit when printing to fit a smaller frame if needed. It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the background is of the print is a very light grey.
I am definitely the type of person who likes to stay stocked up on all my supplies. Luckily, right now is a great time to stock up on all our favorite Tide products. For a limited time, Tide HE 100 oz. Liquid is on Rollback at Walmart for $10.77. Combine that with the $2 brandSAVER coupon available for only $8.77, or less than 9 cents per ounce!

Sadly I don’t have a routine for my laundry. I work Monday-Wednesday and am exhausted by the time I get home, so I tend to start tackling the laundry mountain on a Thursday morning, putting a fresh load in each day (as the previous one is finishing drying) through the weekend. I then do a mammoth ironing session on Sunday. It’s not ideal, and if we’re busy on the weekend it can stay mounted up all week, but it’s kind of where we’re at.
Jamie says
That sounds like a fairly good routine to me. I refuse to iron unless it is a special occasion, so you’re actually one up on me
Scott says
We got each of our girls their own sorting hampers. Now all the laundry comes down pre-sorted!!!
Neely Moldovan says
WE are all about laundry routines. I seriously cant let it pile up. Gives me anxiety
Trish says
This sounds like a great routine! I rent (no washer here) so my routine is basically taking clothes to the laundry and washing and folding there. Thanks for the coupon link — I like Tide too!
Heather says
Those printables are adorable. The man who cleaned our septic said to try and limit to one load a day. This is not easy but I’m trying!
Jenny says
Great routine!! I know we tend to do as we need to wash. The kids all do their own laundry so that is an insane big help.
Lydia @ Thrifty Frugal Mom says
These printables are so darling! I love them! Such a great way to cheer up a laundry room for sure.

We are working on getting rid of clutter today (weekend project). I love Tide. Never have to worry about clean and smelling good (clothes) when you use it. Great for stain removal too.
