Laundry and ironing — your way
Since time is of the essence for most people, you might be on the lookout for something that gets things done as quickly as possible. That means that choosing a product that meets your specific needs is key, and there’s an array of irons and steamers that do just that. We’ve put together some ideas for you to keep in mind when making your decision. Handheld steamers are a great choice when you’re looking for a product that’s both potent and easy to use. They’re also a great pick when you need something that you can use on your delicate fabrics like silk or certain synthetics that can’t be ironed directly. Steam irons, meanwhile are another great choice: they heat up quickly and are super efficient in removing stubborn crinkles. Steam generator irons are also an option. These models give you more steam at higher pressure, which removes creases and smooths things out on both sides of your fabric simultaneously, saving lots of time. Plus, their long-lasting tank capacity makes them a star player.
Expert tips for a more efficient laundry routine
Make laundry easier with these tips and tricks we’ve compiled:
Making the most of small spaces
Now it’s time to get to work, and your laundry room is your special haven. Sometimes, though, you don’t have a lot of space to go on and keeping things organized might seem difficult. Keep dirty laundry off the floor and in specific bunches by using sorting bags that you can hang on the wall. This lets you move around easily and allows you to organize laundry into different categories for washing and ironing later. Baskets and bins are key: keep softeners, detergents and other accessories neat and tidy by organizing them in your favorite containers. You can label them to make them easily identifiable, adding a personalized touch while you’re at it. If you’re super short on space, try a door rack to keep all of your products in one place. Drying racks take up space, too: consider a foldable one that you can hang up on the wall and tuck away when you’re not using it. Finally, don’t forget the shelves: making the most of your wall space will help you keep things tidy.
Ironing and laundry on a tight schedule
Fitting laundry into your busy lifestyle might seem like a miracle some days, but not to worry: we’ve made a list of things you can do to keep everything running smoothly. Consider tackling laundry as soon as you wake up as this lets you do other things while you wait for the load to finish. If you don’t have time to handle everything that needs attention in the laundry room, break your list down into washing, drying, folding and putting away. This will let you cross items off your list as you get to them, letting you feel accomplished even if you’re finishing tinier tasks more sporadically. Making a weekly or daily schedule and pinning it to your fridge or keeping a note on your phone will also help remind you of what needs to be done. Finally, don’t procrastinate: if you stay on top of your to-do list, it’s not a big deal later on if you have to skip a day on your schedule as you’ll already have some leeway.
