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.
Ashlee Mitchell yes!
Yes, I’d love a video about this!
Yes please!!!
Yes also for a video of children ages and appropriate chores.
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.
Sock Hack- have everyone put their socks in a mesh zipper laundry bag during the week and then throw their whole bag in the washing machine/dryer. They all stay together and each person's socks stay together. You're welcome!
Sincerely Kristin I do this too! No single socks 😂
Tried this with my kids. The fact that they dont put then in the bag stressed me out a lot
Great idea! Thanks for sharing :)
We do that ♡
Lol I'm 16. I'm the only one I'm my house that does this
You should run for president. This is the kind of order the world needs 😂💚💚
Hi 🖐 can you attach a copy of the list you attached to you washer about how to dry? Please please please!
Also, YES PLEASE a video about washing only white clothes!
Thank you!!
YES to both of these requests!!
Agreed,please
Yes! That list would be awesome to have.
@@sheriBmo DITTO!
Yes, I need a copy!
Hand me down tip please: storage, what to keep, what not to keep, everything about hand me down 101 video please
YES this!!!!
Yes please!!
Yes!! I want to keep clothes for future children but keeping ALL of it seems a bit much
Yes!
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.
“Choose a laundry day”. My first thought was January 1.
Chad Coffey HAHA, IF YOU WASH THEM ONCE A YEAR, YOULL NEED A BIG HAMPER!😂😂😂
🤣 Laughing so hard right now!
Haha that’s a good one 😂😂
Hahaha. Awesome
😂
How I keep my whites white: try not to have anything white! It's just not a color that works with our household, haha.
fuzzysock the only time my kids wear white is to bed 😂😂
AMEN!
Amen sister. The only white I own is my wedding dress. 🤣
Yup! I don’t buy anything white!
Thank you for teaching me how to adult. I'm 22, not married, no children but your videos have been so helpful
Same! I’m 20 and have been watching Jordan’s videos since I moved out 2 years ago. Sure some of the tips take some adapting but it’s super helpful still
SAME
as a 21 yr old college student whose parents never really taught them how to do laundry... thank you for this lol
I learned in college and was scratching my head at why they didn't let me just do my own laundry growing up. My mom would have been way less overwhelmed and I wouldn't have had to wait for it to come through the family cycle!
Parents never really taught them? Or never took the time to be taught? Ah?
I love how she is pregnant yet she can still rock a bomb cheetah top, earring and a full face of makeup.
Iman Khan she’s not dead. She’s pregnant
Mom goals!
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.
Sarah McVay YES! This should be on some new Jordan Page merch! I love it!
Iman Khan Oh my yes! She is a hottie!!!
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!!!
Really? I found myself having to do more loads by using this method which meant higher electric bills so I switched back to the regular way.
My Mom taught me to give the clothes a good shaking out when transferring from washer to dryer. I have always hated doing that - and now I make my kids do it. The clothes dry faster and are less wrinkled!
Detra Dowling my mum taught me this too. Same applies for air drying, works brilliantly
Funny, my sister just taught me that last week. Didn't think it mattered until I tried it.
When I got top loader a lot of clothes came out wrinkled after drying and I too figured out that it helps to minimize wrinkles by shaking and separating tangled up cloths
@Maroxa’s Way it takes longer to dry when you don't shake (untangle)
@Maroxa’s Way i understand but honey if someone is really watching you do your laundry they have issues. I'm sure it would make me uncomfortable also.
Yes on the " whites " video!!
I have always turned clothes inside out to wash,it stops fading.
Pat Baldrian me too. I have also taught my kiddos to zip every zipper. Open zippers are rough on the other clothes. 😉
I do this with ironing too; it prevent fading.
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. :-)
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.
Totally make sense. That's what I do too.
I do this as well! 🙂
Every now and then I like to throw all my whites in the sink with hot water and oxiclean for a soak before they wash. MAGIC
Definitely trying this!
I love oxi clean! The white revive is my favorite cause it doesn’t ruin colors.
She did say she puts oxiclean in and does a cycle with a presoak.
It's actually more about how dyes for clothes have advanced and not as much about washers be advanced. Washers have really only advanced to require less water and less soap. Dryers to just use less energy.
I put my detergent in an empty, squeezable dish soap bottle. You have more control over the amount detergent you use and there’s no more messy cup
That is an awesome idea!!! Gonna go look for an almost empty bottle to use.
Please do a laundry with me like not a tutorial just let us watch you sort through everything in a time lapse or just real time and you talk while you sort
Like if she should do this
Am I the only one that puts like 3 dryer sheets? 😩😂
Nope. Me too.
I used to do this for over a decade. Then I learned how to educate myself about the safety/danger associated with the products I used in my home. Dryer sheets and fabric softeners are probably the most toxic, dangerous, harmful household products that hardly anyone has awareness about.
Samantha Alvarez I do!! I know it’s a waste but I do it!! Guilty
O.M.G. Wash the detergent cup with clothes! Gotta beat hand washing after every use. Thanks so much. ♥️Diane
Keep hangers close by for mens dress shirts. When they are dry they go straight on a hanger.
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.
Shanna Jones brilliant
I love this!
I LOVE IT
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!
if you use laundry bags, you lain more on the detergent to do the all job.
In order for the fabric to come out clean, it needs its ability to wobble against the drum.
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.
Can we get a new intro in 2020? Been watching you for so long that intro song is annoying meeee 😂😂😂😂😂 heeeeelp
Could you include a link for a copy of your laundry "schedule/how to do" that is kept in the laundry room. It was hard to view during the post. Thanks!
KJ Wilkins Yes please!!
PLEASE! This would be very helpful if you could provide an editable template.
I’d like a whites video. This one has been the most helpful to me though!
Yyyaaayyy! All of my favorite youtubers are posting today, and it’s my Birthday! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 so excited!
Aww happy birthday 🥳
Happy birthday 🎂🎉
Happy birthday all the way from Fiji🎂🎂
Happy Birthday 🎂😊
Happy birthday!!!!
Girl youre a wealth of knowledge! Did you come up with all this or learn it over time and from others?! Thank you for the amazing tips as always! Blessings to you & your fam! 💛
NO ONE is going to sort by texture thats just crazy first of all I would need a whole education on texture sorting LOL!! Maybe jeans YES and obviously towels and bedding, darks, lights, but texture thats so confusing JUST SAYING!! (sheets, comforters etc.)
THE BEST WAY TO SORT is keep each persons clothes in there own load never mix laundry it makes for more sorting after they been washed and dried. I do my sons clothes on one day, my daughters on another day and separate days for me and my husband. ***Having clothes be right side out is good I always make sure my childrens clothes go into the hamper right side out to begin with HINT HINT!!!
***I NEVER do ALL the laundry in the whole house in one day that would take forever!!! and leave no time for anything else like cooking watching your young children or especially a nursing mom!!!
***Also use olive oil type bottles with a spout it eliminates a cup to wash in your load and fish out later and no pouring into a cup no spills etc.
There are some GREAT hacks in this video, and in the comments I have 2 children so its hones5not to difficult to keep track of there laundry!
I like your tip on the olive oil tip thing.. I'm currently re-using an old Starbucks water bottle, but it's been annoying as it has 2 openings, so when you tighten it, there's another section 2/3 of the way up where it starts to unscrew and starts to leak if you've filled it up to the top. I mean, come on Starbucks!!! Apparently all their water bottles and flasks are like this!
In my house we do a loud loundry every day. Maybe two louds if something happens. We do airdry as much as we can. Hugs from Norway.
Good video! I’d love to see one on garage organization, namely kids’ bikes 🚲 trikes, etc. Ours always end up in a jumbled heap.
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
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.
My daughter is 2 and she helps me with laundry everyday and she loves it
Sorting by texture literally changed everything for us!!! All the stains come out, every time!
As we have quite a lot of laundry, I usually sort by texture AND by color.
I was always told to turn printed shirts (like the teal cupcake one your showing) inside out to keep design looking better ...true? Or not?
*you’re
I think true.. I know with buttons and textures and things that’s best to do!!
But would that prevent the stains and spots from washing out as well?
Lana True, but if things are really dirty I just leave them so they get the best wash
For me it really helps, for shirts and especially for jeans :)
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!!!!
pleas teach us how to deal with white laundry, what to do with heavy stains, whites that became gray and more..
OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover should not be mixed with Chlorine bleach or household chemicals other than in the wash with your regular laundry detergent. To fully optimize the stain removing abilities of OxiClean™ we recommend adding to the wash water in the drum not the bleach dispenser.
Rebecca Archer yes! Thanks for posting this. I was just about to!
Yes! I mixed both in a load of dish towels, and they were destroyed when they came out of the wash!
Yes. All her talk about things being hard on clothes, and bleach and Oxi Clean can be very hard on clothes! I soaked a rayon dress in Oxi Clean to remove stains and it ate holes in it.
But this is exactly what she does...on a presoak cycle which means they presoak in oxiclean then when the regular cycle runs, they are washed in Tide and bleach from the dispenser. Seemed crystal clear to me. 🤷♀️
Lucinda Jackson I’m glad it was crystal clear to you. I’m glad your perception is so very superior!
I made all 3 ofmy girls share the master bedroom, we took second bedroom, and smallest bedroom I made wall to wall lines and drying racks to dry our clothes, towels, blankets, etc. Wash a load a day. My electric bill went down $32 per month!
S J Finley wow! That’s a huge savings. 😯
people forget that bedrooms are to sleep in, I like to sew and the master bedroom that has great windows became my sewing room and the smaller bedroom, is where I sleep. I found that having an on demand water heater cut my gas bill by $24 a month so between no hot water tank and no dryer it made big savings.
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!!
I'm sorry, can you please explain what you mean when you say you fold your jeans when you put them in the dryer? I'm trying to get all the tips I can get , because I'm just overwhelmed with laundry. thank you
Ideally u should NOT b putting the jeans in the dryer..it shrinks them nd makes the fabric wear out much quicker..jst hang them to air dry...
@@ixa.m9915 I usually buy my jeans at Goodwill, I always dry them in the dryer, and I still wear them for years. I can't imagine spending the extra time and effort to hang dry my jeans.
Ahhh love all this!!! I would actually be interested in a video on how you look fantastic after having 6 kids plus carrying twins! Seriously momma you look AMAZING!
Yes please to white wash video! Also how u store kids clothes wardrobe organizing so the kids can put it away efficiently
I come here because I needed some Jordan Page for tonight (rough week), and here was a new one waiting for me. 😍
I'm alwayd use vinegar. 👌
I love the idea of writing down the directions for different types of laundry and putting it where kids/hubby can find it! Helping them to be helpful!
In a NUTSHALE 🤣🤣🤣 this made my whole day.
🤣🤠
Great tips and tricks. I've been doing laundry since I was 10, and have always done laundry according to color. Revelation on doing them according to texture! Thanks so much.
I would love to know your cleaning schedule.
That would be a good video! We do have a post on that here: funcheaporfree.com/deep-clean-your-house-with-one-task-per-day-printable-cleaning-schedule-included/
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 ❤
I do the same 🙋♀️ put the delay at night to get started on laundry early and the Extra spin cycle because I also don't use the dryer
Family of 5. .2 loads a day. Everyone folds their own clothes and even the rag and towel they used prior.
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!!
Christi Caballero I also do this but i feel like my clothes just never come out smelling like anything no matter how much I use.😕
@@mj482 I have had that problem before. I now only use either downy or gain softener, only squeeze out a tad bit just so it's not dripping and also use a cooler dry. 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
Christi Caballero
Will try this on my next load, I already do this DIY with the spray bottle once I take them out of the dryer I dump the clothes on my bed and give it a good spray, I also spray it around the house to make it smell nice and fresh.
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!!😍
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)
She cuts her dryer sheets in half I use about 5 or 6 per load lol
nate nation 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!!😍
Before then I would usually use two per load. Once I had to leave a box of scented ones at a coin op, because they were too strong for me, so the wool balls are nice!!
Same! I love good smelling laundry...Tide with febreze ( green cap or black), Downy beads (amber blossom), matching liquid softener and dryer sheets. When something smells stinky I’ll pop in a Tide pod odor rescue!
You might be nose blind if you always use the same scent every day. This can be harmful for not only you but others who have breathing problems. Try switching up scents or brands.
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?)
Sock hack... when there's lots of socks with colours and such play match game....set the timer for 15-30 seconds and see how many matched socks can be found and folded and tossed into the basket its amazing how fast 45 (that's 90 singles) pairs of socks can be sorted and folded
I just wished i had a washing machine abd dryer at home 😭
Alma Arines here’s a picture of one we bought for our camper it is small and you can put it in your tub. Doesn’t fully dry clothes but is super helpful and dries them enough to hang dry. Can usually do about 5 t shirts at a time or I jean and a few shirts. Hope this helps

Thank you for the advice but unfortunately we are a family of 7 5 kiddos. I tried the small one but broke after 3 months i think i burned it from washing too often then upgraded to the panda the one thats like 300$ but since we are alot it took forever to hang dry clothes then purchased the panda portable dryer but took too long to dry and light bill was like crazy. Recently moved and landlord dosent want me to use my panda washing machine bc light and water are included in the rent 😭 so as of now we need to drive to the laundry mat.
I'd be using that washing machine anyway, it's not up to the landlord if light and water is included then it's Included !! Sure they can ask you and hope you listen but technically you can and should as you have 5 kids.
I've been there and it's really rough... best of luck!
My personal favorite laundry hack is procrastinating until I get so stressed about my piles of laundry that I cry and finally throw it in the washer defeated. I then forget about that load for three days and even more laundry piles up in the basket. I repeat the process, only to finally open up the machine to be slapped in the face with the mouldy stench of the first load. I cry again. Redo the first load and force myself to do the second. Then I forget both loads in the dryer.
Girl, same. I’ve also spent way too much money on wash and fold services “to get caught up” only to never put away the beautifully folded clothes and then I just continue to fall behind.
@@granolaandgritshomestead1127 Ha! I'm thankful I didn't even know that service existed or else i would be in the same boat 😂😂
Got to show my husband this video! My husband is a real man and can use a washing machine, what a help !!! 😁
My mother taught me to flip the clothes inside out when you wash them so that the color lasts longer when hung in the sun. Thanks for the videos :)
Yes! Or hang them in shaded areas and then it can be hung right side out.
I do this with ironing too. It prevents my clothes from burning out and helps with the overall protection of your clothes.
I love that you involve your kids in this, I feel like most parents don't do that enough. Love your videos!
My kids have their own small basket for clothes. I separate clean clothes into their baskets and they are in charge of putting them away. It saves me a lot of time!
Last tip is the best. And an excellent piece of parenting.
Do you offer a copy of that laundry spreadsheet? I need a place to start...lol
I love your tips! I always wash with cold water and it does a fab job with stain removal. Also great tip about putting clothes the right way around. That really helps with getting them clean 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I swear by soaking stained and faded items overnight in oxiclean. It’s saved 99% of my stained clothes, even after they’ve come out of the dryer with stains. That stuff is magic!
Bree and Baby I watched an America’s Test Kitchen video where they tested a bunch of different stain removers on a variety of food stains, and OxyClean did the best job by far!
I love that you have and embrace a big family. I always wanted to have a large family and I find myself pulling my hair out with 3. Dont know how you do it!
HAHA 1st time viewer, pretty new to TH-cam, just launched my channel and found you! Great video! hilarious and informative! Congrats on baby 8!

OMG! 👍🏻👍🏻
Here it is only black socks, undies and tops. That goes for me and my husbond and our three kids 😄
We all do our own laundry my kids there’s and me mine and my hubby his this has changed my life
Commas change lives, too.
@@noway-kn1ow But do they? In my experience, commas don't matter as much as kindness.
Yes plz do a video on just white loads. Plz plz. Thank u
THANK YOU Jordan! The dot system has changed and saved my Life!!!!!! We’ve been using it for a while with my three Boys and it’s so helpful....brilliant!
I wish I had thought of it! I share it with all of my friends that have kids!
You Rock!
P.s. never found glow sticks but I pull out Legos daily 🤪
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.
Hand washing powder? It can be used in an he washer? Any issues with thoroughly dissolving?
@@irishcreamkb1 not at all, if anything it cleans so much beter. But you dont use nearly as much with a load, about half of what youd use with regular powder. It foams more than regular powder. If I have stains I scrub those spots before hand anyway with a stain remover. I dont colour sort either. I really works great for me
Thank you!!!! 🤗 You truly do give awesome tips... to keep our sanity!! 😃
Also a no! Wash most of your clothes inside out! Especially fleece and brushed fuzzy fabrics. Expensive jeggings and shirts with printed designs. If you wash them inside out they will collect less lint on them, the lint that will collect will be on the inside and won't be visible when you wear them. Especially if you're not sorting colors as strictly like she says. (Although I still do color sort strictly because I hate when I have a black pair of leggings with light colored pilling on them from the other clothing in the load.) But additionally, the shirts with prints can often crumble, melt or shred in the dryer when rubbing against all the different other fabrics. Drying them inside out helps the print last longer. So at least flip them before you dry them. Really I suppose you could wash everything rightside out and flip it for the dryer but who's gonna put that extra effort in.
I agree with mostly everything else though 👍
Please do “ how to keep whites white” I have white sheets in our bedroom and guest room , and everyone is heavy sweaters and the whites just turn yellow 😢 and I don’t know how much bleach I should put in my top loader
First of all: I love you! Thanks for doing what you do! hot or cold: it depends on the type of stain. Some stains (like blood) are set by hot water, but some (oil) will not come out without hot water.
I also have used White King WATER softener a lot.......even though we have soft( treated) water........Soaps rinse out better...... Add it to the wash. Way back, when Ivory Snow was SOAP FLAKES.......That was my favorite way to wash sheets and towels.....hot water and nothing else.....Clean, felt so nice, towels were absorbent........I miss SOAP FLAKES !!! .....and.....I am excited for your little twinsies!
I would love to see how you combat sickness with such a big family because we’re just a family of 4 and I swear by the time it goes through all of us we’re down a month!
Jacquelin Castillo I second this request! I was just searching for a video like this yesterday and wish Jordan has one!
We drink "spicy juice!" The kids drink half a pack of Emergen-C mixed with apple juice. It helps a lot!
Jordan Page, FunCheapOrFree how often? Daily? Weekly? Thanks for the tip!
Have you got any tips for small families? There's only 5 in my family so we eg. wouldn't have have enough whites for enough 1 full wash and I don't want to be putting on half washes all the time! Thanks in advance!
Do you have enough white clothes overall to wait until you have a full load?
I love the fact that you went over some reusable items for the dryer!!! ♥️ I love my wool dryer balls! I love your videos but can't use some hacks (mostly for cooking) because of the plastic waste
Then modify it to fit your lifestyle & then practice how not to give backhand compliments.
It's called a *backhanded compliment* Becky
Proper grammar is a pillar of putting someone on blast and you do not make the cut.
So, I was told bleach actually works best with cold water as the hot water causes it to deteriorate the bleach. My sister in law even has soaked a extremely stained shirt in cold water with a little bleach and it looks great after. So is it really needed to be hot water?
Makes sense since that's the idea when it comes to pools and spas. 🤷♀️
Love Jordan, but someone has run out of video ideas! Pretty much all recent videos are add-ons to ones already created.
I wash clothes/fabrics on hot water (60°C), which have do be kind of *sanitized.*
Like socks, panties, wash cloth etc.
But in Germany that is quite common.
We wash either by 40°C or 60°C
(sorry, don't know the US units.. 40° is like fever, 60° a bit more than half way to boiling (100°C)).
But since the washing mashine *rinses* thoroughly with cold water first (and also you can use *stain spray* in addition, if you want/need), no stains get "burned in"..
Therefor the textiles that need extra *hygiene* get really clean (hygienic).

Maybe that's why you don't need to sort by colour. In cold water colours don't bleed out that easily.
I seperate by "colour-types": red, blue, black, white. Red contains orange pink and yellow aswell, blue contains green, purple etc..
All four by temperature then, 40° or 60° (extra hygiene needed or not).
Jeans (and thick fabric like that) go seperate, same as wool. It goes by 30° only..
Hahaha "In a nut SHALE!" this is why I am so glad I found your channel: you're real and genuine.
Na-na-na-na-NOOOOOO ONE has ever made laundry for a family seem glamorous. Then there was you. Mwaaaaaah on the cheek. Thank you.
White socks is also our policy. For our son no folding only hanging; cuts the job in half or maybe less. Boy goes to school not wrinkled too. I don’t fold anything of mine that doesn’t go on a hanger. My hubby likes to fold his clothes and watch his shows.
Yes please to washing only white clothes!
Just a note for people, when choosing you laundry detergent check with the brand manufacturer, of your washing machine because they will have a brand, of laundry detergent that works the best with their machines that the make. It’s the same with dishwashers. ❤️🇬🇧
I have been doing laundry all wrong 😂
I’m learning and laughing. Great video... thanks 🙏🏻 😊
I'm doing laundry at this very moment! The never ending chore lol ❤ thanks for getting me through my every day mom life!
Krista Porter Peterson it really is a never ending story 😁🙈
As a mom and nana, I dont agree with the way she is sorting laundry by texture. Everything else i agree with. Ive been called laundry nazi.
I wash my clothes according to room of the house. When it's done drying, I hand it to the person who occupys the room and they put it away. Oh and each room has there own hamper and is expected to load the washer and dryer.
I do something similar. We have 3 kids that are 6, 10 and 15. I wash each child's hamper separately (my 15 year old does his own), pulling out delicates, and then when they are done in the dryer give it to that child and they are responsible for putting it away. Then I keep towels separate and mine and my husband's together. This has helped with not having to sort which person belongs to each clean item and really stopped the headache of trying to match socks with a mountain of socks coming out of the dryer.
Jordan how can you do the basket system for your kids if you dont have the laundry room space to put multiple baskets?
If the clothes weren’t stained they don’t stink or wet put it back in the closet it’s also saves you time, soap and headaches.
Omgosh this is the first vid I've watched since your preggers announcement and you look MARVELOUS Doll!! Simply stunning❣️❣️
I noticed that in this video and the previous one the camera keeps focusing and unfocusing, that my eyes hurt.😵
Please do video on only whites please.
Question can I was towels and bed sheets together?
I never have a full load of whites to wash would it be a waste of water if washer isn’t full of white clothes?
A lot of these tips were in the first video..
My brother in law repairs washing machines. He says don’t ever put oxy clean in your machine. It works so good it strips the oils off of the parts machine (especially true of old machines!) and you will shorten the life of the machine or spend $$$ fixing it. The remedy is to soak in oxyclean separately and rinse them clean as usual.
