Laundry Day: Creating a Rotation So My Husband Has Socks!

Source: via Suzette on Pinterest


People.  A man who works 55 hours a week seriously deserves clean socks.  No matter how many babies under two there are!

My husband rarely has clean socks.

Monday is laundry day and there is a second "floating" laundry day, but this laundry dilemma will  need a little structure to make clean socks happen.  I think the ambiguous laundry day is the reason that on Sunday morning I am hurrying into the laundry room to throw load after load of laundry to wash.  Not quite the best use of our free time with Tyler home from work!

So here is the rotation I will be trying out over the next two weeks.  On November 5th I will let you know how this worked out and any adjustments that were made/will be made at that point.

My ultimate goal is to not have to touch the washer and dryer on Sunday...hmmm...aspiring...and for my husband to always have clean socks (And no it isn't that we have too few.  He has over six pairs of socks!) Maybe I'm just an extremely naive young mother.  Time will tell!

Hopefully having a routine will allow me to line-dry more clothes, as I can plan around knowing what clothing is washed on certain days.  That would be so awesome.  Line drying is freeeeeeeeee!  And we love free. 

In the meantime, let's wash and roll!

Sunday
Retreat from the laundry (Hopefully!)

Monday (An Official Wash Day)
Lights
Darks
Reds (if enough, otherwise put with Darks)
Bath (towels, washcloths, hand towels, etc.)
Kitchen (rags, cloths, etc.)

Tuesday
Uniforms (Tyler's load - this is also any seriously dirty clothes that might not be uniforms)
Special (anything that requires more thought than "dump, wash, dry")

Wednesday
Darks
Bath

Thursday (Unofficial Wash Day)
Lights
Uniforms
Kitchen
Sheets

Friday
Cleaning Rags
Bath

Saturday
Bath
Uniforms

Do you have a washing routine or washing routine tips?  
Please share!  
I would love to know how women maintain peace with this never-ending chore (which I don't hate, just looking for a rhythm).

  1. I just do a load a day any day there is enough for a load! I am constantly doing laundry but it's not my nemesis! :)

    1. Wow! You rock. Girl I just don't have that discipline. Tried that and my laundry would sit in the washer for two days sometimes! Ah!!
      Good to know I will be doing laundry side-by-side with you! :)
