Back-to-school laundry hacks for parents for a clean and stress-free school year

As you’re busy with back-to-school shopping for the perfect fit to start the new year off, it’s important that those new clothes you’ve carefully picked out stay feeling new until the end of the year.

It’s not just the first-day fit, but with all the extracurricular sports, birthday party blowouts, and school project mishaps, laundry can pile up fast.

Exhausted already? Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up a few tips to help make this coming school year squeaky clean.

Level Up Your Detergent Game

With so much mess on the horizon, it’s always good to have a detergent that’s going to work as hard as you do.

Enter Swash, a laundry detergent that’s flipping the detergent world on its cap, one squeeze at a time.

Now available with a brand new look, its ultra-concentrated formula is a game changer for tough stains, meaning you can let your kids enjoy all their after school activities without worrying about the mess, thanks to Swash.

And each bottle helps you fit up to 80 loads in the palm of your hand in two scent options — Smells Like Clean Laundry and Smells Like Nothing — giving you a lot of bang for your buck!

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Swash® Laundry Detergent

The no-fold laundry method has started picking up steam, and for good reason. With so much laundry to do, that means you have so much laundry to fold.

So to save a bit of time, just sort your kids’ laundry into piles and put them into corresponding bins for easy access — without the need to bend over backwards!

That’s the basic gist, but you can find a method that works for you. Some variations include hanging all your kids clothes, which helps you pre-plan outfits and prevent wrinkles.

If your children are old enough, dump the clean laundry where you know your kids spend the most time (aka, the couch) so they can fold while they watch TV.

Share The Load (and Responsibility)

Swash® Laundry Detergent

As convenient as it would be, you can’t be everywhere at once. If your children are old enough to do their homework on their own, they can certainly put on a load of laundry.

Having a list of instructions for how to put laundry on so that you don’t have to waste your time can help your kids not only help you, but also give them a better sense of independence.

And, thanks to Swash® laundry detergent’s Auto-Stop Top, you’re taking the guesswork out of how much detergent they’ll add to your laundry — so you’re not wasting a drop. Just use one squeeze for normal load and two squeezes for heavy load. Simple!

Feel the difference Swash® laundry detergent makes on your laundry, and pick up a bottle today.
