Our Everyday Laundry Routine For A Family of 6

Note: The following content may contain affiliate links. See our full disclosure here.

When you have a family, there is probably no chore worse than laundry โ€” the piles are never-ending. 

Washing them is easy, but remembering to switch the load over to the dryer before it mildews, isnโ€™t. 

Then, those piles of dirty laundry become piles of clean laundry sitting in hampers for days waiting to be put away. 

When does the cycle end? 

I was desperate for an answer so I started sifting through hundreds of articles on Google and spend long hours on YouTube hoping to find another mom who found a real-life solution to her laundry problems. 

I didnโ€™t want hacks for getting rid of stains or achieving wrinkle-free clothes.

I wanted a routine to help me keep up with the piles of clothes, bedding, linen, towels, and rugs that needed to be washed every week.

I was already doing a random load of laundry a day, but I still kept falling behind, so I decided to take that approach and refine it some more.

I assigned everyone their own laundry day.

Since there are seven days in a week and we are a family of six, this idea was so simple I couldnโ€™t believe I didnโ€™t think of it sooner!

Plus, washing one or two extra loads didnโ€™t make much of a difference to me.

I have specific days of the week for washing all the other stuff too so there’s no pile left behind.

We all have our own basket to keep things organized, and I even used a label maker for my kids so there is no confusion about who’s laundry I’m working on!

Focusing on doing one personโ€™s laundry at a time has decreased my anxiety and increased my productivity โ€” Iโ€™ve gotten much better at washing, drying, and folding same-day versus the 5-7 business days it used to take me! ๐Ÿ˜…

This is what our familyโ€™s laundry looks likeโ€ฆ

SUNDAY – towels, rugs and runners

MONDAY – Child 1 clothes, sheets, and comforter

TUESDAY – Child 2 clothes, sheets, and comforter 

WEDNESDAY – Child 3 clothes, sheets, and comforter

THURSDAY – Daddy’s clothes 

FRIDAY – Child 4 clothes, sheets & comforter

SATURDAY – Mommy’s clothes, our bed sheets & comforter 

How to Simplify Your Laundry Life

I understand our weekly laundry routine isnโ€™t a one-size-fits-all solution. If your family size is smaller, you can still take my No Pile Left Behind Method and assign a day for washing everything!

Hereโ€™s a quick example:

  • Sunday: clothes
  • Monday: sheets & comforters
  • Tuesday: bath towels
  • Wednesday: bath rugs & runners
  • Thursday: kitchen towels
  • Friday: clothes
  • Saturday: catch up

Just keep tweaking it until youโ€™re happy with the routine youโ€™ve got and youโ€™ll never fall behind on laundry again! ๐Ÿ˜‰
