9. Fold your laundry better

A little more assistance makes folding clothing go more quickly. By making a cardboard template, you may engage kids in folding. The template should make it easier to fold the shirts’ bottoms up before folding the sleeves in.
If this sounds too complex, try folding them up as small as you can to make them fit better in tight locations. With practice and the proper equipment, such as a level, counter-height surface, you will improve.

10. Put smaller loads in your washing machine

Have you ever wondered what the most efficient way to do laundry is? Well, let me tell you a secret: Always, but always, do smaller loads of laundry. If you put too many clothes in your washing machine, it will break, and your clothes will not be as clean as you expect after a thorough cleaning. Why? Because your laundry won’t have the necessary amount of space to tumble and the detergent won’t reach every piece. Keep the load smaller, and the results will be amazing! Your clothes will be cleaner; they will smell great; and for sure, they will also dry faster.
