Laundry 101

A step-by-step guide on conquering the art of doing laundry.

In college, I called my mom daily. I was lost at doing a lot on my own and didn’t realize how much my parents did for me until they didn’t.

It is no secret that everyone hates doing laundry, or is it just me? It’s my arch nemesis, mainly because you do it weekly and it still seems to keep piling up. Isn’t there some fairy godmother that comes and does this stuff? Oh yeah, it was my mom – now it’s me and its always staring at me, judging me.

Stressing about how to do laundry should be the last thing on your mind. Who has time for that when you need to be worrying about your homework, right? Let’s be real, some of the biggest fears about doing laundry is shrinking your favorite top and dying everything pink.

Easily readable charts that outlined only the stuff I needed to know would have been helpful when I went off to college. I don’t own any dry-clean-only clothes and just needed enough unmentionables to keep me going.

Now that you have all our special secrets on how to wash your clothes down, you’ll want to have some modern ways to get your laundry to the washing machine. Being able to transport your dirty clothes and all your equipment down to the laundry mat is just as important as knowing how to wash them.

This laundry clothes hamper with removable mesh bag is the perfect dorm accessory. The slim-profile hamper makes sorting and organizing easy. Once you have this full, you can easily remove the bag to transport your soiled clothes.

Now, since you will only have one hand free from caring your clothes, this tote allows you to store all your laundry supplies in one place that is organized and compact. This can easily store in your closet or under your bed.


For those unmentionables that are delicate and need to be handled with care in the wash, our mesh laundry bags are the perfect solution! This pack comes in four colors for easy sorting and it protects clothing during the wash so things don’t get tears, rips or snags.

Good luck and godspeed… when all else fails, you can always bring your laundry home to mom. I’m sure she would love spending the extra time with you. Or get yourself a subscription box of new clothes monthly!
