6 Back-to-School Laundry Tips for Busy Families
The start of a new school year brings excitement, fresh supplies, and packed schedules. Between homework, sports, and after-school activities, laundry can pile up fast. At Twin Cities Dry Cleaners & Laundry, we know how busy family life gets, so we’ve put together some time-saving laundry tips to keep your household running smoothly.
1. Create a Weekly Laundry Routine
Set specific laundry days to avoid last-minute “Where’s my jersey?” mornings. For example, do a quick load mid-week and a larger load on the weekend. Families in Minneapolis, St. Anthony, and Roseville often find a set schedule keeps things stress-free.
2. Sort Clothes Ahead of Time
Use labeled hampers for lights, darks, and uniforms. This small step makes laundry faster and helps prevent color mishaps. Pro tip: keep a separate bag for sports gear so you can toss it in right away.
3. Treat Stains Immediately
From art class paint to playground mud, kids are pros at stains. Keep stain remover sticks in your laundry area or send tricky fabrics to your neighborhood dry cleaners. Our experts handle everything from grass stains to ink, so uniforms and school clothes last longer.
4. Use Eco-Friendly Detergents
Gentle, eco-friendly detergents are safer for sensitive skin and better for the environment. Families across the Twin Cities are making the switch, and our cleaning process supports that commitment with green, professional-grade solutions.
5. Don’t Forget Special Care Items
Backpacks, jackets, and sports uniforms often need extra care. Machine washing isn’t always the answer. Bring them to Twin Cities Dry Cleaners & Laundry for professional cleaning that extends their life and keeps kids looking sharp.
6. Save Time with Professional Services
