You need to have a rough idea of how much clothing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-wash-your-underwear\/\">underwear <\/a>you own so that you know when you will need to do your laundry without running out of things to wear. It\u2019s best to evaluate your clothing situation and then assign yourself a day to do your laundry. This will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-motivate-yourself-to-do-laundry\/\">motivate yourself<\/a> to get your laundry done and help you plan your time around the task.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"727\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/calender.jpg?resize=727%2C409&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/calender.jpg?w=727&amp;ssl=1 727w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/calender.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/calender.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Get the right equipment\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you even go near a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-your-washing-machine\/\">washing machine <\/a>you need to make sure that you have the appropriate equipment for doing your laundry. Consider what laundry detergent you want to use- do you want to use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/powder-vs-liquid-laundry-detergent\/\"> liquid or powder detergent<\/a>? If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/laundry-tips-for-sensitive-skin\/\">sensitive skin<\/a>, you need to find a detergent suitable for your skin type. Asides from detergent, make sure that you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/when-should-you-use-fabric-softener\/\">fabric softener<\/a> to maintain your clothing&#8217;s softness. There is no point in loading your washing machine with your dirty clothes if you don\u2019t have the right equipment for your wash.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/liquid-detergrnt-2.jpg?resize=606%2C341&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/liquid-detergrnt-2.jpg?w=606&amp;ssl=1 606w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/liquid-detergrnt-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/liquid-detergrnt-2.jpg?resize=291%2C164&amp;ssl=1 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Separate your clothes\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve accumulated the equipment you need, you can then start separating your clothing.

You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-sort-your-laundry\/\">separate <\/a>by colour, fabric, or by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/washing-at-the-right-temperature\/\">washing temperature<\/a>. It may take you a few washes to know which way is best for you to separate your clothes, but you will find a way that best suits you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"909\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laundry-hamper.jpg?resize=909%2C511&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laundry-hamper.jpg?w=909&amp;ssl=1 909w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laundry-hamper.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laundry-hamper.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/laundry-hamper.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Read up about stains\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s very easy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-remove-coffee-stains\/\">stain <\/a>your clothing and, sometimes, not so easy to remove the stain.
