Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Laundry that has been pre-sorted according to color and type, Baskets or designated areas for piles
Use these steps to determine the order of laundry loads.
Step1
The first factor when prioritizing laundry loads is the hot water supply. Some people have a limited supply of hot water and should wash loads that require the hottest water first. This includes whites, heavily soiled clothing, towels, sheets and linens.
Step2
Clothing that is in immediate need should also receive priority over items that are used less frequent. Uniforms and other items that are needed frequently would be examples of high priority items. In many households, it is more efficient to wash the items that take the longest to dry, such as bedspreads and towels.
Step3
Next, launder items that require warm water such as colors or prints. Loads that require cool water should be washed last, as well as items that are not in immediate need.
