1. Schedule Laundry Like an Appointment
Consistency is key. Pick one or two days each week for laundry and stick to it—the same way you would a meeting or class. Regular scheduling prevents laundry pileups and helps you plan around it instead of being caught off guard.
At Washerman’s, many Wash & Fold customers schedule automatic weekly pickups, so laundry practically handles itself.
2. Sort Smarter, Not Harder
Instead of sorting right before washing, keep separate hampers for whites, darks, and delicates throughout the week. When laundry day arrives, your loads are already organized—saving you 15–20 minutes per session.
Bonus tip: label bins by color or family member to make sorting foolproof.
3. Use Cold Water for Most Loads
Cold water washes are gentler on fabrics and help prevent fading. It’s also a quick way to reduce your utility bills and protect clothes’ elasticity.
All Washerman’s machines are calibrated for cold cycles that clean effectively without wasting heat energy—great for both the planet and your wallet.
4. Don’t Overload the Washer
It might be tempting to stuff in one more pair of jeans, but overloading traps dirt and wrinkles clothes.
The rule: ¾ full, never packed. This simple habit improves cleaning efficiency and reduces drying time.
5. Fold or Hang Immediately
Leaving clean clothes in a basket turns fresh laundry into wrinkled chaos. Set a five-minute timer when the dryer stops—fold or hang right away and enjoy crisp, ready-to-wear clothes.
For Wash & Fold customers, this is one less thing to worry about. We fold each item perfectly and return it ready to go.
6. Simplify Your Products
You don’t need 10 laundry products. Stick to these essentials:
- One high-quality detergent
- A color-safe stain remover
- Wool dryer balls (instead of sheets)
- A mesh bag for delicates
The fewer bottles you juggle, the quicker your process becomes—and your laundry space stays neat.
7. Use Laundry Bags for Socks and Delicates
Mesh laundry bags save time and frustration by keeping socks together and protecting fragile items. Toss them directly into the washer — no more searching for missing pairs or dealing with stretched-out delicates.
8. Declutter Your Closet
The less you own, the less you have to wash. Regularly donating or recycling clothes reduces laundry volume and helps you focus on quality garments that last longer.
At Washerman’s, many customers tell us their Wash & Fold turnaround inspired them to organize their wardrobes—making mornings easier too.
9. Embrace Laundry Pickup & Delivery

10. Build a “Laundry System”
Turn laundry from a chore into a rhythm:
- Keep supplies stocked in one spot
- Label bins for sorting
- Schedule pickups on the same day each week
- Put clean laundry away immediately
Systems save decision fatigue. You’ll spend less mental energy and more time on what matters most.
