A laundry system is any method that you might use in order to see that your laundry is washed and available to wear in a timely fashion. There are many different kinds of households with different numbers of family members or roommates, so there are also a number of different systems that people use. In most cases, choosing the best laundry system requires you to consider a number of factors, such as whether you have access to a washer and dryer in your home or if you must travel to a laundromat. Also important are factors such as when certain laundry items must be cleaned and how many loads of laundry you have to do.

If you have a washer and dryer in your home, then you should find that making time to do laundry can be quite easy. Many homeowners with access to washers and dryers might use days when they are not at work to wash and dry items. Articles that need to be cleaned on work days can be taken care of before or after work.

For those who depend on laundromats, finding a system can be a little more difficult. If you have a laundromat near your house, it might be best to use a laundry cart or automobile to drop off the laundry at the laundromat then run errands or return to your home. You can then return to the laundromat to move the wet clothes to the dryer or to take the clothes from the dryer back to your house. Remember that wash cycles are normally complete within under an hour while dryer cycles can take quite a bit longer. Individuals who are not so close to a laundromat may want to bring a book or some work to do while they are waiting for their clothes to be washed and cleaned.

Households containing one or two people might have an easier time planning a laundry system than those with many members. Fewer people normally means fewer loads of laundry. For those with many members of their household, it can be a good idea to have each individual responsible for washing his or her clothes at a certain time. People with small children may find it best to complete children's laundry at the same time each week in one load.

In choosing the best laundry system, it may also be a good idea to plan on times to wash certain items. Delicate laundry items, for example, should be separated from regular items. Many people choose to separate articles with colors that may run from white items. Towels and other heavy laundry items sometimes take longer to dry, meaning that should be washed last so that you won't be left with a basket of wet clothes on deck.
