It’s a known fact that laundry takes up a lot of our time, especially when dealing with a large pile of it. It’s even more of a struggle when you have a busy lifestyle and have limited time to do the laundry.

To make laundry a quicker process, we’ve compiled a list that will help you cut down on laundry time.

How To Cut Down On Laundry Time

• Run small loads often
• Take advantage of the washing machine settings
• Spot clean instead of washing
• Only fold what you need to
• Use a laundry service

Run Small Loads Often

To avoid facing a mountainous pile of laundry and spending hours going through everything, do small loads frequently. See if you can find spare time in your daily routine to do a load of laundry, even if it’s a few days a week.

If you can spare a few minutes folding clothes and putting them away, this will also help make the entire laundry process quicker.

Take Advantage Of Washing Machine Settings

Some settings on your washer can help save time when it comes to the washing length and drying process. Most washing machines have a ‘quick wash’ and ‘spin’ setting. Use the quick wash setting for when you’re in a rush, and it will complete the washing cycle in more or less 30 mins depending on your washing machine. The spin setting will remove excess water from your clothes, allowing them to dry faster.

If you have a more advanced washer, you can set a timer to delay the cycle for when you’re busy running errands.

Spot Clean Instead Of Washing

If you see a stain on a piece of clothing that you’ve only worn once, spot treat it as soon as possible instead of putting it into the wash. Choose a stain remover method of your choice on the area and pat dry after treating. It will mean you have one less thing to laundry.

Only Fold What You Need To

You don’t need to fold everything- only heavy garments such as knitted jumpers. If you have enough wardrobe space and hangers, try hanging your clothes instead. It will save so much time putting your clothes away, and it will minimise creases helping you to cut down on ironing.

Use A Laundry Service

The best solution to get your laundry done without dedicating your time to do it is to use a laundry service like Laundryheap. Using the app/website, schedule a collection and have your clothes cleaned, folded, ironed and delivered back to you in less than 24 hours.
