    Hi Jordan!
    When you said that your kids start sorting laundry at 3 and doing their own laundry at 8, it got me thinking: can you do a video about what chores you get your kids to do and at what ages? For instance, what kind of things do your kids do for themselves at 3 and so on.
    So many parents do everything for their kids (i.e. laundry, cleaning up their toys, and making their beds etc...) because "it's faster", but I think it's best to teach your kids to do it themselves so that they have the skills as adults (plus ain't nobody got time for that).
    I think that many parents would find it interesting just how much their children can actually do.

      I so agree with you . Also kids learn anything as long as if you have time and patience for it . For example my 3 yr old can pick up his toys, wipe up spills put his leftovers in the trash and his plate in the sink , dress himself up and put his shoes on I am so proud of him and I let him know it.

      She tends to buy way more clothes than I would but I like to get what options I can that can go for either a boy or a girl. Not all of there wardrobe. But I have simplified wardrobe anyway. I only need up with two kids a boy and a girl 21 months apart. I receive plenty for my girl who is 4 almost five but very little for my boy who is 3 they have a uniform for preschool that's a t shirt and I layer a long sleeve shirt underneath in the winter and pass down anything that will work with just the sleeves showing. When I would buy for my daughter I made sure to include some plain black or grey leggings or sweets simple jeggings and simpler shoes that have a more nutrual tone. Between newborn, 0 to 3 , 3 to 6 6 to 9 12 and 18 months which my kids wore by a year that is six full wardrobe changes in a year. I was not going to store two sets of really big wardrobes times 6 sizes. They absolutely needed newborn clothes but for a week two max. I had a small handful of girly clothes like 3 or 4 with in the year. Having 1 week or so of clothes depending on your wash cycle. 10 to 12 outfits when they needed changed more often. Obviously if you have back to back of the same gender that's not the same issue.

    Omg! I started separating clothes by texture after watching your previous laundry video. And what a difference it makes! I’m a married mom of four and so laundry builds up quick in our house. Ever since I’ve adopted your laundry hacks....laundry is an absolute breeze. Especially since I’ve started making the kids fold their own clothes. They’re aged 10-16 so they should definitely be helping out. Thanks so much Jordan. I absolutely LOVE your videos!!!

    When it comes to laundry with 3 girls (2,3, and 4), myself, and my husband's clothes, my hacks for a stress-free laundry experience are:
    -Everyone has their own basket and mesh bag to use.
    -Since there are 5 of us, we do laundry during the week so the weekends are family time. With that schedule, my oldest helps do ALL of her laundry on Monday (Wash, dry, fold, hang up, etc). Tuesday is for my Middle daughter. Wednesday is my youngest daughter. Thursday is for my Husband's clothes. Friday are my clothes. I have it that way so we don't spend an entire day washing everyone's clothes when we can focus on one at a time, it means more family time.

    @aimeeontheharp 4 года назад +15

    I don't have to sort my kids' clothes anymore because I wash it all in mesh laundry bags! Each bag has a different color zipper. No missing clothes, no sorting, no matching, and I can just give them the bag and tell them to put it all away! :D I am really proud of this idea of mine!

    For those who line dry clothes but also have a dryer this is a tip to save time: first load is a load I would put in the dryer, second load is one I would hang on the line. This is because the dryer usually takes longer than the washer. So I can wash two loads while just one of those is in the dryer. That way when the first dryer load is done, I'm putting the THIRD washer load in. Hope this makes sense. :-)

    • @Mashooqa
      @Mashooqa 4 года назад +1

      I learned that the hard way, after wasting almost an entire day on waiting for the dryer, because I washed all my other clothes first, that was going to line dry.
      I was used to using heavy industrial machines, that would dry a heavy load on cold air within 30-40minutes, but then I moved and had to re-learn how to do laundry. Now I separate everything based on weight, go with smaller batches and wash/dry them in the right order.

    My kids actually had the idea that they help w all the clothes. Instead of each child doing their own laundry they are assigned a day to do a couple of loads start to finish. The only thing they don’t have to do is moms bras and underwear.
    It allows them the ability to jump in to the laundry process. And if they didn’t do laundry on their day they just jump in on the next day. Love it!!!!

    One of my laundry hacks I love is when I do my denim load I fold the jeans as I put them in the dryer. It keeps the legs from becoming a huge ball and ceeased mess! Takes a few seconds longer, but so worth it when you get them out and hang them up!!

    My mother in law has 8 kids (2 are grown) and she asigns the kids their own personal laundry day so monday it is the 2 youngest and Tuesday the next kid etc..
    The best part of this system is that if one of the kids does not do their laundry on that day then they have to do the next siblings laundry the following day.

    We avoid sorting different family members clothes altogether by putting a laundry basket in each person's closet (my husband keeps his by his dresser, as I take the closet).
    Good rule of thumb is by the time the basket is full, it's time to wash.
    We keep a basket in the laundry room for whites. They get done on the weekend. Towels all go in one hamper, and we wash that twice a week

    • @lindenpeters2601
      @lindenpeters2601 4 года назад +2

      Me, too. No point in sorting everything twice. The loads I do are: my and hubs' lights, our darks, first child's clothes, second child's clothes, sheets, towels. I wash everything on cool and gentle to make clothes last longer, unless something is really dirty.

    Hi Jordan! Love your videos! We are a family of 6, 4 kids. Each person has their own basket and each person (mostly) does their own laundry. This eliminates the need for sorting each person’s stuff and the teens fighting over who took whose shirt. I’ve also started to eliminate all the pastel and cute towels so each person has only 1-2 towels (mostly navy) and get washed with the jeans and stretch pants. I have a few crisp towels that come out for guests that I keep in the back of the closet and ONLY I wash them (like the bright whites in bleach etc) and we’ve also adopted the all white sock method as well. Most times TWO loads of WASH can fit in ONE LOAD of dryer. Hope it helps! -Michelle (special needs #22q mom)

      Susana Sunshine Yeah but if you’ve ever been pregnant you know how extremely exhausting it can be. That on top of the morning sickness, which for a LOT of women is all day, and then add all the other things one must do in a day plus feeling like your body is not yours anymore makes getting all dolled up just not in the cards very often. I mean, not all pregnancies are the same and everyone’s experience is different but there are a great many women who just need to put there head back and feet up and use that time for getting some much needed rest. If you are one of those women who cruised through pregnancy without a symptom to hold you back then the rest of us are 100 percent envious.

    I only have two kids, 11 and 14. We’re at the point that the only thing I have to do is remind them to put their washing on/hang out/bring in. So good. I do wash theirs during the week to keep them in uniforms, but they’re responsible for their other clothes on the weekend.
    -We rarely use the dryer, in fact it’s disconnected for summer.
    -Things like school uniforms that crease easily, get hung on coat hangers straight from the machine. They dry almost crease free and take mere seconds to put away. I actually hang all of my shirts and dresses like this to save time. If it’s windy, I add a peg to the coat hanger to keep it on the line.
    - the dot system is coming in handy lately, since both my girls have very similar socks/bras/underwear (we don’t pass these down but it helps us all immensely when sorting). I miss the cute patterns 😂
    - I’ve printed and framed a quick cheat sheet for washing settings so my girls don’t have to keep asking me (seriously, it’s the same setting most times, how can you keep forgetting?)

    Amazing tips thanks so much and I love that all your tips are actually useful and not just the generic aesthetically appealing ones where they use glass drink dispensers and bottles to display their laundry detergent or actually have space to hang chandeliers and laundry related quotes citing “Laundry is my sanctuary” or some other fake bs - you just know those types get a cleaner in to do all their laundry lol which is why I prefer your approach - no frills, no bs and your hacks actually work and are game changers because you really do incorporate them into your routine - ever notice how the others merely say they do and then they’re on to promoting a washing machine that they must know that over two thirds of their audience is never going to be able to afford let alone have the space for yet they still gloat over that fact. Always a pleasure to see a video upload from you gorgeous 💋

I started doing that a few weeks ago when I came across your first laundry video.) We also do all white socks for daily wear, those get washed all together and then stay in a basket in the hallway, the kids dig through and find socks we don’t even match them some they’re all the same. I do another load with dark socks, like church socks, trouser socks I wear at work, and the random “fun socks” the girls wear sometimes. Thank you for channel, your a mom that gets it!

    Love your laundry videos. A little tip though: instead of dryer sheets, I use fabric softener. I put about 2 cups in a gallon of water and mix it in a jar. Cut in half some dish sponges(without the scrubber part) or rags and keep them in the jar. I'll throw one...or a few depending on size of load in the dryer and there ya go. No static, extra soft, and extra smell good!!

The hotter the air in the dryer, the more it seems to take out the smell and like shes said it's better for the clothes anyway. I will only use the hottest dry setting on towels maybe every 3 washed and then bc the smell is so diminished, I have a spray bottle I keep where I put about a half cup of downy unstoppable and fill with hot water. Shake till dissolves and voila a DIY febreeze. Anyway I'll spray things that I want to keep smell

      I had a bad experience with a fabric softener I was using. It was somehow making splotches on the clothes when I was using it right... NOW Instead of dryer sheets and fabric softener, I use Wool dryer balls. They help the air get to the clothes and you only have to buy them once so they end up being cheaper and eco friendly! Another plus!!😍

    Hello Jordon and freebies.
    Very strange I was doing my washing (laundry) earlier this evening and I was adding white vinegar to my loads. Its brilliant for removing odours from clothing such as gym clothes. My laundry day is typically sunday the day I change my bedding. I am a widow with no children so live alone. Although I have a dryer it is for emergency only. I do my best to air dry everything if I can. I do have a slight hack tho. When purchasing washing machines / dishwashers I try my best to get ones with timer delays. This way I delay the program to start part way through the night as the usage of electricity is lower. Then when I get up put it on a spin cycle then hang it out. I just have to remember to allow enough time in the morning before I go to work to hang the washing out or the whole thing has been a waste of effort / time and money as I'll have to wash it again. I always do an extra spin to get rid of extra water before I have it out. It's amazing how much it helps.
    Just wondering if anyone else regularly uses any washing machine / dishwasher cleaners to remove line scale etc. I know there is also white vinegar hacks options too. Myself and my mum use the 1st of every month to run our machines on a clean cycle with these products.
    Also Jordon I would love to have your tips for keeping whites white.
    P.s. you are looking amazing! Love to you and your amazing family ❤

    Here are my hacks: I use hand washing powder in my washing machine. Half the price and you use half as much as you would normally because it foams much beter, it also cleans more efficiently.
    I also do two loads a day, one is dirty clothes and the other is a load of bedding or curtains. Bedding and curtains aren't a hassle for folding so it doesn't take up time you would be for folding clothes.
    Though it helps that we almost only wear cotton, very warm climate where we live. And I refuse to buy anything white, specifically because I dont want to sort and I dont have to worry about stains as much. But if something is stained I just soak it the night before and maybe give it a few scrubs with a brush on the stain itself and dump it in the soak bucket.
