Examples of Real-Life Laundry Routines

It can be difficult to find a laundry routine that works well for your family.  It takes awhile to evaluate your current way of doing things, figure out what you’d like to do better, implement your new plan and then tweak it if needed.

That can be a lot of work for some families.  It’s very worth it in the end, but I don’t want to sugar coat the fact that it can be hard to figure out the whole laundry routine concept.

I always find it refreshingly helpful to read how other people do things.  I love to see how other people store their favorite recipes or keep their floors clean or how they incorporate young children into their cleaning routines.

So I’ve been a busy bee creating a list of Laundry Routines for you to peruse.  I’ve given each of them a little description so you can easily see right off the bat if it will work for your family. There is no need for you to read a laundry routine about a mom of 6 if you and your husband or wife are empty-nesters.

Read through the routines and see if there are some you think would work for your family.  Then get you a routine in place, work it for awhile, and come back and tell me all about it!
