The Laundry Hack You Need To Know

May 20, 2020 Comments : 8

This post has been sponsored by 2ULaundry, but all thoughts and opinions are my own

Let me preface this post by saying I️’ve always been the type that dislikes the thought of outsourcing, mainly because I️ feel like I️’m capable and I️ won’t have to spend money if I️ do it myself. However, with three young kids, I️ started to find it hard to complete certain tasks around the house as easily as I️ used to…namely, the laundry. The actual washing part isn’t that tricky – it’s the folding and putting away part. Especially since my kids change their clothes several times a day (even though we tell them not to) and that makes a LOT of tiny clothes to wash, dry and fold!

The Time-Saving Laundry Hack You Need to Know

I️ posted an IG Story a while back talking about my dislike for folding laundry and many of you guys suggested using a laundry service to outsource this task. To be honest, I️ had not heard of any of these services in Memphis, but when we moved to Charlotte, I️ learned about 2ULaundry. Several friends had mentioned a laundry hack called 2ULaundry and I️ was intrigued – so when the team reached out to me to try their laundry services, I️ said absolutely! I️ wanted to share a bit about my experience with you guys, in case you’re like me and need a nudge in the right direction to outsource some tasks.

Laundry Hack: My Experience with 2ULaundry

First, I️ created an account on the 2ULaundry site and then selected the bags I️ wanted. There are two sizes of Wash, Dry, Fold bags, a Hang Dry bag, a Dry Clean Bag, and a Linens bag. Each bag has a flat rate, so you can fill the bags as full as you’d like (trust me, we packed ours FULL). The 2ULaundry team hand-delivered the bags right to my doorstep, along with a door hanger for any dry clean or hang dry items. I️ was able to select my preferences for our laundry, including hypoallergenic detergent, fabric softener and starch preferences for dry cleaning.

Using the app, I️ scheduled a pick up date for my laundry. I️ was impressed with the ability to schedule a pickup just a day or two out and the fact that 2ULaundry returns your clean clothing within one business day. On the pickup day, I️ put the full bags of dirty laundry on the front porch by 8am and a 2ULaundry driver came by and picked them up within a few hours. They also stay in touch with you via text and provide updates when they’re on the way to pick up and drop off your clothing.

The next day, the 2ULaundry driver dropped off our bags of clean and folded laundry right at our door. I️ loved how neatly folded each item was, especially the kids’ clothing (I️ don’t know about you, but I️ find it hard to fold baby clothing neatly sometimes because it’s so tiny). It was such a relief to just take the bag upstairs and put the clothes away rather than have to fold a mountain of laundry! To put it into perspective, we had an existing mountain of laundry on the floor that needed to be folded and it was still waiting to be folded in the time 2ULaundry picked up and returned the bags of my girls’ clothes. To say we despise doing laundry around here is an understatement! 🙂

Laundry Time-Saving Tips

Even if you don’t have 2ULaundry in your area, I️ highly recommend outsourcing your laundry to a service provider near you. It gives me a lot of time back in my day, plus I️ don’t have piles of laundry sitting around, waiting to be folded and put away! At a minimum, creating a laundry schedule can help you get your laundry under control (especially if you have a big family and lots of clothes to wash – I️ follow one like this). My best laundry hack: always try to fold clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer, to prevent wrinkling and just to knock the task out. For us, putting clothes on the floor or bed to fold at a later time means it will sit there for a LONG time!

    Well, this is amazing. How have I never heard of this?? Like you, I don’t mind the washing but the folding and putting away stinks. I think I might try this! Thank you for sharing.

      Yes, it’s life-changing, I️ swear! I️ didn’t even realize it was such a common ‘thing’ to have a wash, dry, fold service, but most areas have them!

    This service sounds amazing. I agree on outsourcing but sometimes for certain stages of life, it is nice to have the help.

      Agreed! I️’ve been more open to outsourcing now that we have 3 kids – there’s just not enough time in the day to do everything!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
