Luckily for
you, I’ve worked out some pretty lazy ways to get around doing the laundry –
with a little help from my friends. This may be The Lazy Girl, but everybody hates laundry day; this is a
universal topic and, yano, maybe it’ll change your life or some bullshit.
Just buy more underwear
Okay so this is technically a leftover
habit from my student days when a housemate showed me the glorious life hack
that is trapesing down to Sainsburys and buying a 6 pack of briefs (all to
avoid having to do laundry). I don’t resort to it often these days, but I have
still been known to pop an extra pack of underwear in my shopping basket when
laundry day looms.
Make outfits work for their wash
...and call it saving the environment
if you like. If nothing else, it’ll balance out your over-proportionate
underwear hoard enough to make it seem sane. Basically, just stop chucking
things in the wash basket after every wear and take the time to actually work out if they need a wash. You’ll
have to hang them up instead, but anything else is just a false economy.
Carpet wipes are your best friend
I always have a packet of these on
hand in the house, and if your forced to leave your home at any point I’d recommend
taking a pack with you (instant application is key). You can avoid actually
washing anything for weeks if you just scrub down stains as you go – and for a notoriously
clumsy person such as me, that’s a god send. Obviously I’m recommending you use
these on your clothing, but if that wasn’t transparent enough here you go.
Why get dressed if you don’t have to
I mean this is partly a joke, but
also not a joke at all. Obviously we get dressed in the mornings for many reasons
and for a lot of us (myself included) it can help with mental health and
maintaining healthy behaviours. But giving yourself a day off every now and
then is fine too; sometimes we just need to slob about all day in our PJs and
eat Pringles instead. It’s simply an added bonus that we haven’t create any
laundry - or washing up - that day either. Win. Win.
Got any laundry busting tips for me?
