How do i get back on track

Options
hi, for smoe reason all of the dirty clothes have come out of the wood work and have got loads to do, what would be the quickest and easiest way to get through it all. I can't get to the laundret its miles away but that would have been ideal bacause of the load sizes.

I was just thinking about going through it all and putting it all in seperate carrier bags and one one bag load at a time, I have a quick wash on my washer so the hardly soiled stuff can go on that cycle.

Is there an easier way of getting through it?

    I think your easiest way is, as you say, to get some done on your quick wash. I sometimes let my dirty washing pile grow to enormous proportions (it's not in the house, so not in the way) and I find if I do certain loads, it makes the load look so much smaller.

    Towels - quick wash, but are bulky so will make your pile look smaller.

    Do you have lots of small items of a similar colour? We have lots of dark blue and blacks and greys and if i do a couple of dark loads, then the fact all those socks and undies have gone is great. Also, when you sort them, you realise how many items you have actually got through.

    Save your really dirty load for last so you can do it on a longer wash. Good luck, I'm afraid without access to an industrial sized machine, the only way to do it, is to do it. :)

    I put all of my clothes that dont run on a 30 degree cold wash together. If you know they are going to be ok and not delicate etc. Do loads of darks lights and whites.
