School Week Laundry Plan
Back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of the year for families. Between new schedules, supply lists, after-school activities, and early mornings, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Can you guess the one area that can quickly spiral out of control? Laundry. We all know that school uniforms, sports gear, and everyday outfits pile up fast—and no parent wants to deal with a missing shirt or dirty gym shirts at 7 a.m on a Monday.
The solution? Steal our simple School-Week Laundry Plan that keeps your child’s essentials clean and ready to go.
Step 1: Midweek Wash Routine
Instead of waiting until the weekend for a laundry marathon, add one quick midweek load to your schedule. Wash uniforms, sports gear, and kid essentials midweek (Wednesday is perfect) so you’re not scrambling by Friday.
Why it works:
Kids always have what they need for class or practice.
Reduces last-minute stress.
Keeps weekend laundry piles smaller.
Step 2: Prep Uniforms in Advance
Uniforms are a lifesaver during the school year—but only if they’re ready to go. Here is our uniform routine:
Midweek Refresh: Wash midweek (Wednesdays) to cover spills, stains, or surprise activities.
Dedicated Space: Keep clean uniforms hung up or folded in one spot so kids (and parents) know exactly where to find them.
Sunday Night Prep: Check to confirm clean uniforms are in the correct spot and ready for a grab and go Monday.
Weekends?: Schedule your laundry pick-up for your Wednesday midweek wash.
Step 3: Organize with a Weekly Laundry Basket
Have a dedicated laundry basket for school clothes and uniforms. At the end of the day, uniforms and sports gear go straight in. This prevents last-minute searching and keeps everything ready for wash day.
Step 4: Don’t Forget Backpacks & Extras
Backpacks, lunch bags, and jackets need freshening up too. Toss washable items into your midweek (Wednesday) load and spot-clean the rest. This keeps everything smelling fresh and school-ready.
Step 5: Our Secret When It Gets Overwhelming
