Streamline Your Laundry Routine Make laundry day more efficient with these simple tips: Sort your clothes into separate hampers for lights, darks, and delicates to save time. Use mesh wash bags for delicate items to prevent damage. Stick to a laundry schedule to keep piles manageable. Opt for quick-wash cycles for lightly soiled clothes and use a handheld steamer to freshen up and de-wrinkle garments quickly.
