The purpos e of this circular is to give information whi ch will make it possible for homemakers to solve their laundry problems more suc­ cessfully.1 SELECTION OF EQ UI PMENT Mend ing bask e t.--Since small holes and r ips grow larger when clothes are washed, a few stitches before washing mean fewer stitches afterwards. A mending box with thread, needles, and scissors kept in the laundr y room will save many steps. Sortin g equipm ent. -A container for soiled clothes is a necessary part of the laundry equipm ent. In some home s a clothes chute which empties into a clothes bin takes care of the soiled clothes. In other homes, a large hamper or basket is used , and the clothe s are sorted into smaller ba skets or on papers spread on the floor. A tab le which is both a contain er and a sorting device, such as the one designed and built for our laboratory, has man y advantage s. See Figure 1. ,,,,..0 FIG. 1.- A sorting ta ble. 1 This stu dy of hom e laundry problems was sponsored by McCall 's Magazi n e and carrie d on under t h e supe rvi sio n of the Home Econom ics D epar t m ent of t he Uni ver ­ s ity of Nebraska . The reports of all work which was done are on file in the H ome Economics Department of t he University of Nebra s ka . 4 NEBRASKA EXPERIMENT STATION CIRCULAR 49 The table is 7 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet high. The top to the right is smooth and stationary and can be used as a working area. The top to the left may be used as a flat surface; or when lifted back and hooked to the wall it allows access to the five sort ing bins beneath it. The bins are large enough to hold an average machine load of cloth es-from 6 to 8 pounds. The soiled clothes may be placed in their respec­ tive bins as they are brought into the laundry room during th e week, or they may be sorted into them on wash day from the clothes chute. If the soiled clothes have been carried to the laundry room, the hamper or basket should be placed on a stool or low table so that it will be the same height as the top of the bins and thus enable the worker to drop rather than lift the clothes. Under the bins are storage spaces for buckets, hose, and other sma ll equipment; the drawers to the right hold towels, measuring cups, spoons, and the mending basket; the center shelf holds pans and supp lies, and the baskets may be stored under it when they are not in use. A she lf built over the table for soap, water softeners, starch, and other supplies is convenie nt. Marks A and Bon the diagram indicate venti lating holes. Similar holes should be made between bins 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, in the bottom of the bin 3 and the inner side of bin 5. Stain-removal equipment.-The remova l of stains is made more simple if one or two sma ll enameled basins, two or three medicine droppers, and pads of cheese cloth are kept near a clean, flat surface where the spo tt ed artic les can be spread out. Tubs. - Laundry tubs are of two kinds, stationary and portable. The stationary tubs, usually constructed of soap­ stone or enameled iron and having permanent plumbing con­ nections, are very conven ient but are rnore expensive. Gal­ van ized iron tubs with legs may be purchased, and are more convenient to use than tubs which rest on a bench because they can be moved about easily. A second advantage is that these tubs may be drained from the bottom directly into a floor drain, into a pail, or, by means of a hose, into a more distant outlet. Washing machine.-A washing machine is one of the most important labor-saving devices used in the home . Since it is expected to give good service for at least ten years, it should be selected with care. The following questions shou ld be considered : LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT AND METHODS 5 1. Is the dealer reliable? 2. Does the machine operate quietly'! 3. Does the machine drain quickly and completely? 4. Is its working height comfortable, or can it be adjusted? 5. Can the machine be moved about easily? 6. Are the controls easily reached and manipulated? 7. Are the motor and all moving part s well cover ed for the protection of the operator. 8. Is the machine large enough to accommodate the family's needs and not too large for the storage space? 9. Is the machine easy to clean and lubricate? 10. Is the water extractor satisfactory ? The soft and semi-soft ro lls which are now used on many wringers have a more gentle action on clothes and on buttons than the hard-roll wringers. A good wringer has a satisfac­ tory tension control and an easily manipulated safety release, and will lock in four positions. If a centrifugal dr yer is used, the mo isture is evenly re­ moved, there is very little chance of breaking or removing buttons from the clothing , and woolens are left soft and fluffy. Unless the dryer is carefully loaded, however, there may be considerab le vibration, and if the water is extremely hot there is danger of burning the fingers while transferring I the clothes from the machine to the dryer. Machines with a gasoline motor can be purchased if elec­ tricity is not ava ilable . There are a few hand-power wash­ ing machines on the market. Laund ry stove.-Unless the water is heated by a furnace or by a gas, electric, or kerosene water heater, a stove will be a necessity. Even though there may be a water heater, a stove will be an added convenience, as there may be times when part of the white clothes should be boiled, and starch must be made. Acc ess ory wa sh ing eq u ipm e nt .-The fo llowing pieces of equipment are either necessary or very helpfu l : 1. A hose for filling the tubs and the washing machine eliminates the necessity of carrying water. 2. A thermometer for testing the temperature of the water is helpfu l, especially when colored cottons, silks, and w0olens are being washed. 3. A boiler is necessary if the water must be heated on the stove. 6 NEBRASKA EXPERIMENT STATION CIRCULAR 49 4. A large plunger and a hand wringer will help to

Using products that are eco- friendly protects local water supplies and protects us from being exposed to toxic chemicals on our clothing. But if we aren’t using harsh chemicals, then how do we wash our clothes effectively, keep them soft, remove stains from them, make sure their colors don’t fade, get rid of persistent stinky smells, take care of delicate linens and maintain your washing machine? It doesn’t have to be all that difficult. Let’s review some basic recipes and items that you can make in bulk to have them on-hand when you need them. Then I’ll share cleaning tricks for the laundry room. Cleaning Cabinet Essentials: 1. Hamper ball* 5. Fabric Softener* 2. Pre-treat stain remover* 6. Laundry Perfume* 3. Laundry powder (or soap nuts) 7. Dryer Sheets* or 4. Whitener* 8. Wool Dryer Balls* * these can be skipped if you want the bare minimum © PERMACRAFTERS 181 1. Hamper Ball Before sending your clothes to the washing machine, it’s likely your hamper is getting stinky. Especially if you have sweaty exercise clothes thrown in the mix! You can reduce smelly odors in your hamper by crafting a hamper ball. (Tip: If you wish to make wool dryer balls too (see below), make those balls first and reuse the stockings for this hamper ball craft!)

  • A Simple Laundry Routine That Actually Works
    A Simple Laundry Routine That Actually Works I have tried so many laundry routines over the years. Having a ‘Laundry Day’, where I do ALL the laundry in one day – wash, dry, fold, put away. Having certain days of the week dedicated to certain types of laundry. Loading all the laundry into a single hamper, then taking it to the laundry room each morning to sort, then picking a load to wash. All of these systems irritated me for different reasons – so I finally found a laundry routine that WORKS, and I’m excited to share it with you! Why we need a laundry routine This post contains affiliate links, which means if you make a purchase through one of these links, I make a small amount of commission at no extra cost to you. See full disclosure here. It may seem silly, to think that we need a ‘routine’ for handling our laundry. This is likely especially true if you are single, or it’s just you and your partner at home – and you don’t have children (or if you only have one child). If this is the case, you’re probably thinking – ‘I just do laundry when it needs to be done’, or ‘I do all my laundry on the weekends, when it’s cheaper!’. That’s all well and good if you don’t have a lot of people in your home. Or you don’t have a baby. Because –babies and children will create more laundry than you would ever think a tiny human could create.

  • Creating a Laundry System for Children)
    LOADS OF LAUNDRY IN ACTION (Creating a Laundry System for Children) CREATING THE LAUNDRY SYSTEM: 1. Decide which children you want involved in doing the family laundry. a. Children 9 years and up are old enough to be responsible for all parts of the laundry--sorting, spraying, washing, drying, folding and putting away. b. Children 6-8 can help you or older siblings with sorting, putting into washer, changing from washer to dryer, and folding. c. Children 3-5 can help you or older siblings with sorting, putting into washer, changing from washer to dryer, and simple folding. 2. Place a laundry hamper in each bedroom of the house, including master bedroom. 3. Assign each child a specific laundry hamper to be in charge of. Each day they will take the hamper to the laundry room and sort the clothes into the appropriate “batch baskets”. (If you have 4 bedrooms, each bedroom should have a hamper. The 4 oldest children would have an assigned hamper—or two children could have 2 hampers, etc.) MAKING THE LAUNDRY SCHEDULE: 1. Choose which batches of laundry you want the children to do each week. If there are 10 batches, divide them up so two batches are washed each day, Monday thru Friday. 2. Decide which batches you want each child to be responsible for. (Smaller children do better with easier batches. Older children can do harder batches, using stain spray, bleach, etc.) 3. Decide which day would work best for each child for their laundry day. (Remember to coordinate it with their music lessons, sports, scouts, church activities, etc.

It might be a place where the men or children wash, where the laundry and other work is done or where the hot water tank and .furnace are placed. For some farm families the utility room might be used for such things as, sorting eggs, cleaning vegetables, cutting meat and separting milk. Many such jobs clutter the kitchen or make extra steps to the basement.· I n planning a utility room, first make a list of the things you want to do in the room. Then opposite each job list the equipment and materials needed to do the job efficiently. Include things you do not yet have, so that there will be a place for them when you add them to your household. Your list might look something like this: Jobs Equipment To Be Used Materials Needed Men wash. Wash bowl or laundry tub. / Soap, towels, combs, mirror. Shine shoes.
