Introduction (Summary)

Newly Divorced Member Asks SingleDad, How Do I Do Laundry?

Necessary Things:

  • Washer & Dryer
  • Family Size of 4
  • Expect 3-5 hours
  • Liquid Detergent, preferred
  • OxiClean, preferred
  • Optional Items
  • Laundry Baskets
  • Portable Drying Rack
  • Garment Wash Bag
  • Know how to seperate colors from darks

Step 1:

Yes, believe it or not… We all relied on some household chores to be done by our ex-spouse. So it is refreshing to receive an e-mail from a new SingleDad.com Member who needs a little help on getting his laundry done. This is another great reason why we have SingleDad .com in our lives. I appreciate any member that is not afraid to ask for some help. That’s what we’re here for!

Step 2:

I know that everybody has a different method to this painstakingly easy task..So you are all allowed to chime in and give me some of your own pointers. I like to separate my colors, darks and whites before I begin the wash. I also like to drop my detergents before putting the clothes into the wash.

Step 3:

I briefly mention the use of the garment bag for the delicate items that need to be washed, (When you have teenage daughter, you will know that delicates means bras and camisoles) For now, you have me running around acting a little silly on the weekend and showing how I get things done around my house. Enjoy the video!

Tips and Tricks:

  • If you have teenage daughters, get the garment bag to save the trouble and costs of reparing the machine and buying new bras for your daughter

Warnings:

  • 4 loads will cover 1 NBA Game or NHL Game, so do this on the weekend!
