Laundry never takes a vacation—especially for busy moms juggling kids, work, and the never-ending to-do list. But spring is the perfect time to hit refresh on your laundry routine. With a few simple hacks, you can save time, reduce stress, and maybe even enjoy the process (just a little).
Here are our favorite spring laundry hacks to help you lighten the load—literally.
1. Sort As You Go
Skip the dreaded laundry day pile-up by placing three labeled hampers (lights, darks, delicates) in the laundry area or each bedroom. Older kids can learn to sort their own clothes—giving you a head start before wash day even begins.
2. Use Mesh Bags for Tiny Items
Tired of hunting for missing socks or delicate baby items? Keep a few mesh laundry bags handy. Toss in socks, baby clothes, or lingerie so everything stays together—and nothing disappears.
3. Pre-Treat With DIY Spray
Springtime stains from grass, mud, or seasonal snacks can be stubborn. Create a homemade pre-treatment spray with 2 parts hydrogen peroxide, 1 part dish soap, and a few drops of lemon essential oil. Spray before tossing items in the wash for a natural stain-fighting boost.
4. Fold Straight from the Dryer (or Don’t!)
If folding is the part you dread, consider this:
Fold clean clothes right out of the dryer to avoid wrinkling and extra clutter.
Or use a labeled basket for each family member and let everyone fold their own (game-changer for moms with older kids).
No shame in delegating!
5. Refresh Seasonal Linens
Spring is the perfect time to wash comforters, pillow covers, curtains, and other seasonal fabrics. Toss in a splash of white vinegar to help break down buildup and leave things smelling fresh.
