Start a laundry load

Why this matters

Why bother?

Worn clothes harbor bacteria, sweat, and skin oils. Beyond hygiene — clothes worn dirty too long break down faster.

How often

Most adults: 1-2 loads per week. With kids or workout clothes: more.

Best time: Mornings on a day you'll be home — so you don't forget wet clothes in the machine.

Pro tip

Sort by color AND temperature. Towels and sheets on hot, normal clothes on cold. Cold washes 90% as effective and clothes last 2x longer.

Common mistake

Overloading. Clothes need room to tumble or they don't actually get clean.

What happens if you skip

The sniff test becomes policy. That's a slippery slope.
