Laundry for Busy People: The 20-Minute Week

In this article
  1. Pick a rhythm
  2. Cut the decisions
  3. The 20-minute week (example)

Laundry doesn't have to be a weekend-eating monster. With a system, it's a few small moments.

Quick answer: pick a schedule, keep one hamper per person, use pre-measured sheets, fold straight from the dryer and put away right away. Small habits add up to a short laundry week.

Pick a rhythm

StyleWorks for
One load a dayFamilies and busy weeks
Two set daysCouples and roommates
One big daySingles with lots of clothes

Cut the decisions

  • One sheet per load. No measuring (read it).
  • Fewer categories. Most clothes can share a cold wash (read it).
  • Capsule loads. Wash and wear the same small set.

The fewer choices you make, the faster it goes. Laundry, not life advice. Well, maybe both.

The 20-minute week (example)

  1. Start a load before breakfast. 2 minutes.
  2. Switch to the dryer or rack after work. 3 minutes.
  3. Fold from the dryer while it's warm. 10 minutes.
  4. Put away right then. 5 minutes.

Article 85 has faster folding tricks.
