COVID-19 pandemic has taught us about the new normal such as social distancing and the importance of cleanliness and sanitation. Speaking of cleanliness and sanitation, it is very important that we do laundry regularly because when we use these clothes outside, who knows what viruses and bacteria we pick up.

However, not everyone enjoys doing laundry and we’ve become used to making our laundry pile up before we do it. Because of the new normal and the spread of COVID-19 virus, it’s very important to own or buy a washing machine to ensure that clothes are properly cleaned and heated to kill viruses. Also, it’s important to just stay at home and do the laundry using your very own washing machine than visiting the laundry service stations to avoid being exposed to COVID-19. In order to make laundry and stain removal more pleasant, we’ve compiled simple things around the house that may help with laundry chores.

In this article, I’ll discuss some laundry hacks you might not know about that may help make laundry an easier task. Most of the things here can be found inside the house and are easy to use, just make sure you need the warnings and notes to avoid unnecessary stress.

VINEGAR

One of the basic things that you should consider adding to the laundry cycle is Distilled White Vinegar. Vinegar has acetic acid, which can kill viruses and bacteria. It works as a disinfectant and deodorizer on clothes as well as a fabric conditioner. So if you suddenly ran out of fabric conditioner, just know that you can find an alternative inside your kitchen.

Other great things about using vinegar in your laundry are: it brightens and whitens clothes, it removes the “kulob” smell of clothes, it reduces lint and pet hair, it fights yellowish stains and underarm odor, it keeps dark clothing dark (make sure that light and dark clothing are washed separately), and when you find your clothes smelling like Samgyupsal restaurant you can also use vinegar as it gets rids of smoke and food odors stuck on clothes.

Warning! Do not pour vinegar directly on clothes. To learn more about how to use Vinegar in Laundry, please check out this wiki/tutorial: https://www.wikihow.com/Add-Vinegar-to-Laundry.

SALT
Salt helps to stop colored clothes from fading and losing their bright colors. This ensures that your clothes stay vibrant. If you have old clothes, a pinch of salt per load is okay. If you’re going to wash new vibrant clothes for the first time, add 1/2 cup of salt into the load to prevent the color bleeding as it goes through its first wash. Speaking of bleeding, did you know that salt also helps remove blood stains on clothes? So if you have an “accident” during your period, you know what to use.

Get your laundry on a schedule.
Are you someone who waits and waits to do laundry until your only clean piece of clothing is a pair old, ripped gym shorts? Or, maybe you’re wearing a bathing suit bottom right now because you are out of clean underwear. 🙂 If this is you, then it’s time to make a date with your dirty clothes.

Here are 5 Reasons to Line-dry Laundry.

1. It saves money.
This is the obvious one. Dryers use up a lot of electricity, almost more than any other household appliance. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that an electric clothes dryer accounts for almost six percent of a household’s annual electricity consumption.

That may not sound like a lot, but consider how many items in your home use electricity. For easy math, if you average $100 a month for your electric bill, your clothes dryer accounts for $72 per year. That’s almost another month of electricity in your home.

All I know is, when we line-dry almost exclusively, our electric bill is considerably lower. A portable drying rack isn’t too expensive (and it folds up nicely by the washer), and clothespins are only a few bucks.

2. It saves the clothes.
Sure, dryers make your clothes softer, but they also weaken the fabric’s fibers faster than if they had been air-dried. All that lint after a cycle in the dryer is fabric slowly wearing off of our clothes. It’s gradual, sure, but since I prefer buying fewer-but-better clothes, I want them to last as long as possible.
3. We go through less laundry.
Since line drying takes a (tiny) bit more of my time, I’m more aware of whether our clothes actually need to be washed, or if they could be worn another time. I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with the act of hanging out our clothes feeling more like an activity than just tossing them into the dryer.

4. It uses fewer chemicals.
The sun is a natural whitener, so when you put thoroughly wet whites out on the line, the stains fade naturally; no need for bleach. In fact, I hear putting wet whites directly on fresh grass to air-dry gets them stunningly white.

Dryers cause static cling, and the ingredients found in dryer sheets aren’t so great. Line-drying solves the issue.

5. It’s therapeutic.
I genuinely like hanging out clothes to dry. Most of the time, it’s a few minutes of peace with my thoughts, doing something quotidian and methodical with my hands.

When life isn’t nuts, I usually do a load of laundry several times days a week in our small, European-sized washer. It’s a quick toss into the washer, then a trip onto the clothesline.

A few hours later, I take down the clothes, fold them immediately, put them away, and… that’s it. So, not that much extra time than using a dryer, except for the few minutes to hang them.
