Assign Laundry Days Some families prefer to set aside one to two laundry days a week like Julie Keller, mom of three. Keller says “I do three big loads and fold them as soon as they are dry. I try to get it done on Friday so my weekend isn’t spent in the laundry room.” Larger families may benefit from doing a load or two every day, like mother of seven, Krystal Laws. “Two loads of laundry each day is much easier than 10 in one day.” The key is to choose which method works for your family and stick to it. Having a set laundry day (or days) frees up time for other chores or more enjoyable pastimes. 8
