10 Creative Ways to Make Laundry Day Fun

May 9, 2024

Introduction

Laundry day doesn’t have to be a mundane chore. With a little creativity and the right mindset, you can turn it into an enjoyable and even fun experience. At Laundry House in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood, we believe that doing laundry should be a pleasant task. Here are ten creative ways to make laundry day fun and something to look forward to.

1. Create a Laundry Playlist

Music can transform any task into an enjoyable activity. Create a playlist of your favorite upbeat songs to keep you energized and entertained while you sort, wash, and fold your laundry. Sing along, dance a little, and make the most of your time.

2. Turn It Into a Workout

Why not combine laundry with a bit of exercise? Use the time to do some stretches, squats, or even light weights while waiting for your laundry to finish. Lifting baskets, reaching for shelves, and moving around can all contribute to a mini workout.

3. Laundry Bingo

Make a game out of laundry tasks with a custom bingo card. Create a bingo sheet with various laundry-related tasks (e.g., "find a missing sock," "fold ten t-shirts," "pre-treat a stain"). Mark off tasks as you complete them and reward yourself with a small treat when you get a bingo.

4. Involve the Family

Laundry day can be a great opportunity for family bonding. Get your kids involved by turning laundry into a game. Challenge them to a sorting race or see who can fold clothes the fastest. Use this time to teach them valuable life skills while having fun together.

5. Watch a Movie or Show

Set up a laptop or tablet and watch your favorite movie or TV show while you fold laundry. The time will fly by, and you’ll be caught up on your favorite series. At Laundry House, our comfortable seating areas are perfect for a little screen time.

6. Try New Folding Techniques

Learn and practice different folding techniques to make your laundry look neat and organized. Try the KonMari method for a change, and see how satisfying it can be to have perfectly folded clothes. Plus, it’s a great way to maximize space in your drawers and closets.

7. Treat Yourself

Reward yourself with a treat after completing your laundry tasks. Whether it’s a piece of chocolate, a cup of your favorite coffee, or a small purchase you’ve been eyeing, having something to look forward to can make laundry day more enjoyable.

8. Listen to Podcasts or Audiobooks

Turn laundry time into learning time by listening to interesting podcasts or audiobooks. Whether you’re into true crime, self-improvement, or storytelling, there’s something out there to keep you entertained and engaged while you work.

9. Organize Your Space

Use laundry day as an opportunity to declutter and organize your laundry area. Create a tidy and pleasant environment with storage solutions for detergents, fabric softeners, and other laundry supplies. A well-organized space can make the task feel less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

10. Set a Timer and Challenge Yourself

Turn laundry into a timed challenge. Set a timer for each task—sorting, washing, drying, and folding—and try to beat your previous times. This adds an element of fun and competition to the process and can help you stay focused and efficient.

Conclusion

Laundry day doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore. By incorporating these creative ideas, you can turn it into an enjoyable and even fun activity.
