The holidays are just about here, but the laundry never stops.  Between festive gatherings, visiting relatives, and holiday dinners, keeping up with the laundry can feel overwhelming. These four simple tips will help you manage the holiday laundry efficiently, so you can spend more time enjoying the season and less time in the laundry room. 

1.   Sort as You Go

Sorting laundry can be time-consuming, but a little preparation can make a big difference. Use three separate laundry baskets: one for whites, one for colored clothing, and one for darks. Teach your family to sort their clothes as they go. When laundry day arrives, you can grab a basket and get started immediately—no more last-minute sorting. Plus, your whites will stay bright and clean! 

2.   Do a Daily Load of Laundry

Instead of letting the laundry pile up, tackle it in small, manageable loads daily. If your washing machine is energy-efficient, this approach can save you time and reduce stress. By doing one sorted basket per day, you’ll keep on top of the laundry while avoiding the overwhelming sight of a massive pile. 

3.   Use a Laundromat for Large Loads

Holiday linens like tablecloths, sheets, and towels can take up a lot of space in your washer and dryer. Take these large items to a Star Laundromat instead. Their commercial-grade machines can wash and dry your items in under an hour. Plus, you can turn this chore into a little downtime—bring a good book, stream your favorite playlist, or enjoy the free Wi-Fi while you wait. 

4.   Delegate Laundry Duties

Laundry doesn’t have to fall entirely on one person. Get the family involved by assigning simple tasks like sorting or folding clothes. Make folding a group activity—it’s faster and can even be fun. Sharing the workload lightens your burden and teaches kids responsibility.
