Whatever your public or shared laundry situation could be, the stack of laundry in your home or dorm room doesn’t have to be a daunting task. It’s possible to ensure that your clothes come out fresh after each wash, even if the laundry room doesn’t seem as tidy as you’d like it to.

Look at these suggestions to improve your next visit to the laundry.

Tip1: Take your time to spot-treat and fully separate your clothes

Most of us have made the last-minute call to quickly throw a load of laundry on, just to knock it off our to-do list. We skip the few extra minutes (and dollars) by leaving out a stain remover or not separating our colors. 

It is best to always separate laundry colors before using laundromats.

It can be heavy on your clothes, you might think you’re saving $4 on that day on the washing machine, but you’re ruining your clothes, and those are worth much more than $4.

It could be worthwhile for your money in the end by separating colors at home and treating everything with a thorough spot-treatment after you’ve discovered an open washer.

The treatment for oil-based stains can be done at home. Grabbing a small spray bottle that contains 50% white vinegar at half water. And spraying the oily stain and then throwing them into the washing machine.

Tip 2: Get an efficient laundry kit

The weight of detergents and soaps could make getting to the laundromats difficult, as you have to manage large equipment and a plethora of dirty laundry. Experts suggest investing a little more in quality concentrated detergents and dry soaps to lessen the journey and give you the most value for money.

It’s like buying shampoo from a salon. It may cost a tad more, but it’s so concentrated it will last for a couple of months. 

Alternatively, if you purchase a cheaper shampoo, sure, it may be affordable, but it contains so much water in it, and it will run out faster. Also, it’s heavier; hence you’re carrying around water. Why would you bring water to the washing machine? It’s already got some.

Alongside your soap that is concentrated, Make room for an additional small bottle of spot remover to add to your laundry kit. Consider tossing a few dollars for steamers as well. In most cases, you’ll find that the clothes on that chair in the corner of your living room do not need to be washed a second time. They only require de-wrinkling and are carefully stored away.

Tip 3: Consider a vinegar rinse

One of the most fundamental truths about washing laundry within any communal space is that we can’t manage the soaps, products, and clothes that go to the washer before our clothes. To keep things clean, try a vinegar rinse.

Vinegar rinse will ensure that any detergent you have or any detergent left in the machine will wash thoroughly out of your clothes.

In the tray where we typically set the softener for fabric, you can pour straight vinegar. Richardson states that any cheap white vinegar will accomplish the trick. We should fill the tray to the top, use less soap than what they usually incline you to use, and begin the wash.

As a note – if you’re using a washer at home and you are familiar with everything that’s going into the drum, the vinegar rinse or fabric softener may not be mandatory. Instead, only use a minuscule amount of quality soap or detergent – the water and wash cycle will be enough to clean and rinse out your clothes.

Tip 4 Make use of vodka to extend the lifespan of the clothes you wash between washings.

It’s convenient to get caught in the trap of washing too much of your towels, clothes, and bedding. 

You should have a tiny glass bottle with vodka inside your washing kit. It helps to neutralize odors in fabric and is odor-free and colorless. You can spray any material with it and immediately neutralize unpleasant smells (whether it’s caused by smoke, sweat, or other sources that cause stink).

Tip 5: Be friendly and polite

This suggestion may seem like a re-recording of an old song. However, it’s worth repeating. Overall, it can help ease the laundry process when everyone is in the same boat.

Change your laundry from the dryer to the washer at the right time, and take them out promptly when you’re done. Show kindness to everyone you can, clean up after yourself, and keep the cycle of washing moving effectively by setting timers to collect your laundry.

TIP 6: Find the love of your life

Washing clothes can be daunting and overwhelming, or tedious for many.

When you realize that it’s a sign of love and take the time to practice the act of care, you could find a small amount of happiness for yourself the next time you visit the local laundry.
