Start a load of laundry

Sort one load and put the washing machine on.

Why it helps

Laundry piles are easier to handle in small loads. Starting a cycle takes minutes and the machine does the rest.

How to do it

1. Gather a load of similar colours.
2. Check pockets and care labels.
3. Start the wash and set a reminder to hang it.

Make it easier

Wash just a few key items.

Make it harder

Fold and put away a previous load too.
