How to do laundry--Favio
I'm not very experienced but I have many tips. It's not simple and requires many steps. Doing laundry is very time consuming and very confusing at times. A lot of times parents will want you to do the laundry, if you don't know this will teach you how to do so. Here are the many steps of doing laundry.The first and most important step of all is to gather all dirty clothes in your house you can do so by gathering all the hampers. You do not want to miss any clothes because you'll have to do more washes and that will waste water and electricity. After bringing the hampers to your laundry room. As soon as you arrive you would want to separate the clothes into different piles. These piles will vary from white clothes, dark clothes, and colored clothes. Also you need to make sure to separate your undergarments from your regular clothes, you want to do this because your regular clothes will smell like feet from your socks. You need to make sure to separate the delicates that are included in these in three or more piles. The delicates will need to be hand washed. This is a very important step if you forget this step you will probably mess up every single one of your family members clothing. Afterwards, you want to go into everyone's closet and grab as much hangers as you can. You will use the hangers to hang all jackets, shirts, etc. When you are done with this, bring all the hangers to the laundry room. When you start putting the loads into the washer you want to start with the biggest load, and work your way down to the smallest. Another note to add is for big loads you want to do a normal wash for smaller loads you would want to do a quick wash. Also for the bigger loads you would want to use a little bit more detergent and fabric softener. Between all these loads will be a timeframe of about 30 minutes to 40 minutes. Between this time you may do anything as you please or you can get ahead by folding the clothes that just came out of the dryer. I preferred to turn on the TV and fold the clothes. When you take clothes out of the dryer, the items that are worn on your upper body are put it onto a hanger immediately and put on a clothing rack. This will reduce wrinkle and make it easier when you are flat ironing them in the future. Once you are done with every single load, and have folded and separated all the clothes. You will want to return every undergarment back to it's rightful owner. Your first experience may not be the best. Eventually you will be very talented and doing laundry for your whole entire family will be a breeze and a walk in the park. I hope your parents are very proud when you finish your first load.

I honestly feel like this is some necessary nuggets of wisdom you are dropping here. Nice tips kid!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I didnt know a lot of those things! I dont put that much effort into my laundry, great tips! I like how you gave instructions for a weekly necessity, simple yet helpful.
ReplyDeleteThis is funny because you'd be shocked by the amount of people who can't do even their own laundry. But this is very informative, and even I learned new things.
ReplyDeleteIn going off to college in a matter of months I will need to face my laundry issues head on instead of waiting until the pile amasses into its own separate being, so these simple tips will help with that. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteLaundry can be such a pain sometimes. I appreciate your diligence, realism, and your writing was top notch! The bit about not being wasteful was also greatly respected. I salute your laundering knowledge.
ReplyDeleteHonestly this seemed like a very mundane topic at first because I felt laundry was something quite simple to grasp, but then you brought out the extras like hanging the clothes, separating the socks, etc. lol and that was even news to myself. So all in all great peace and very informative. Sorry for my rushed judgment.

Honestly some people need to read this and learn how to do laundry, the first time is always the struggle but honestly I've been doing everyone laundry for years now and I swear there should be a competition for who does laundry the fastest. Simple nice tips and straight to the point, nice work kid.

ReplyDeleteGreat tips! Perhaps I will take my laundry more seriously now that I know this information!

Yea thanks on the tip. I usually let my do it HAHAH
ReplyDeletePretty good tips! Many people still do not know how to handle laundry (nothing wrong with that) but your few tips do go a long way. Good Work!
ReplyDeleteDuring middle school when I became responsible for my own laundry I felt so overwhelmed.Still hate laundry but its much easier.
ReplyDeleteWhat an informative piece of literature! I've heard so many kids in my grade say that their mom still does their laundry and it honestly astonishes me. They should read your instructions. Lol.

This was a very entertaining piece. Brought along some giggles.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it when the seemingly simplistic pieces turn out to be the most essential. Although I've been doing my own laundry for quite some time, you gave me useful tips that could possibly help me when I go to college soon. The fact that your directions were rather short and to the point, made it even more helpful. Well done!

This was Hilarious because its so simple yet so many have a struggle with this necessary chore.I for one have become an expert with doing laundry but i do have to say that Laundry will never become a breeze or a walk to the park, its always a hassle especially if you have to launder for the whole family, but thanks to your motivation, im sure many will want to give it a try at some point in their life!
ReplyDeleteSuper relevant. You will not believe the amount of people that have absolutely no idea how to do their own laundry.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for this bit of knowledge! However I would've liked if you offered more specific instructions, like hot or cold water!
ReplyDeleteThat was a werid topic but nice story
ReplyDeleteDarrell Mcdowell
Many tips and an in depth detailing of "how to". Thanks -Joshua Kidwell
ReplyDeleteSomething so simple, yet you would be surprised how helpful this could be for some people, I admire the time you took to think out each step because all are important. Hopefully this can help someone out (:

This has very good information and tips on how to do your laundry properly. I like how you made it extra and added additional information that you normally wouldn't bother asking about.
ReplyDeleteMan, I don't remember the last time I did laundry the proper way. Usually now, I kinda just throw everything into one load and iron it the morning of, lol. I enjoyed this piece because for some reason it invoked a sense of nostalgia: memories of avoiding laundry or taking 3 hours to do it because I was distracted by TV. Interesting topic!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this piece was filled with lots of information that I wasn't even aware of! Thanks for the helpful tips! -Aylin Veloz
ReplyDeleteThis was really refreshing to read, personally I hate doing laundry but it's on of those things you gotta do, and I appreciate the fact that you have so many tips! Great tutorial and I like the organization of the piece, I'm gonna go do some laundry now. - Allyssa F.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting "how to" topic for something so simple yet I feel like I have been doing it wrong this whole time.
ReplyDeleteSuper informative, especially since many of us blog readers are going off to college. I really liked how understandable your writing is and I also really liked the additional details. Great job!
ReplyDelete-Jerelle Medina, p.3
Great tips! I didn't know there were so many steps in doing laundry, I've missed a few of those steps throughout the years.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this.
ReplyDeleteFunny and informative, boy do I have a far way to go.
ReplyDeleteWow.. can I get this published in a home-making catalog- in fact- can you, Favio, publish a sequel in which you tackle "How to Wash Dishes," because my mom would love for me to read that as well. Great piece, brilliant, New York Times Bestseller in the making.
ReplyDeleteThis used to really be a struggle and to be honest I'm really happy you wrote a piece about this, it was funny and yet informative. Thank you for such a good read.
ReplyDelete-Nahome Woldearegay
I love this piece, it's very interesting and I learned a lot about doing laundry.
ReplyDelete-Sirikanya Boonyanant
I've been doing my own laundry since before I reached double digits in age. And as I appreciate the tips I don't think it's that complicated however this was an entertaining read
ReplyDeleteHonestly this made me laugh because I didn't realize it was that much work. I personally don't do my own but getting closer to moving out i guess it's time to start
ReplyDeleteI think it's super funny how this entry seem so straight forward yet i still don't do my own laundry! It makes me think about what's going to happen in the future when i'm in college and don't have my mom to do my laundry for me! Hopefully i can look back at this for some help! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are truly an unsung hero. Your tips were so concise, well explained, and innovative that you have inspired a new conversation about laundry. More importantly, this extends to the environmental effects of doing multiple loads of laundry rather than one. Insightful.
ReplyDelete-Christopher Trevino
This will be very useful especially for all the students that are going to colleges far away and won't be able to rely on our parents to help us on what should be a simple task. Great writing!
ReplyDelete-Jeremiah Eugenio
Very organized amd informative. Laundry is easy on the surface but really does consist of tedious Multisteps.
ReplyDeleteHonestly this was very informative, because I'm terrible at doing laundry and often refer to youtube! But i feel like you helped me understand how this whole laundry situation works.
ReplyDeleteI should have showed this to my brother when he first started doing laundry a while ago... You had some great tips in there!
ReplyDeleteHelpful for both the current high school freshmen who are being forced to learn how to do laundry, and to incoming college freshmen who are being forced to learn how to do laundry! If this isn't the best blog on Solano's site, then I don't know what is!
ReplyDelete-B Lim
This was nice to read. Usually we get a lot of flash fiction but this was a nice change. Keep up the good work! :>
ReplyDeleteIt is a miracle I learned how to do my own laundry! It is hysterical how many of our generation do not have a clue how to even fold clothes, let alone wash them.
ReplyDeletei don't know why but i found this very humorous yet very informative. great work!
ReplyDeleteWell that was informative but laundry is rather easier then you set it out to be. Still Good job.
