Getting Ready for Back-to-School: Laundry Tips for Busy Parents

Back-to-school season is here, and for many parents, that means a return to hectic mornings, packed schedules, and endless laundry. Between school uniforms, sports gear, and everyday clothing, laundry can pile up fast. At Champion Laundry and Dry Cleaning, we’re here to help make your life a bit easier with some simple tips to keep your kids’ clothes clean and organized, even during the busiest times.

  1. Create a Weekly Laundry Schedule
    Instead of tackling a mountain of laundry all at once, break it down into manageable chunks throughout the week. Assign specific days to wash uniforms, casual clothes, and sportswear. This way, you avoid the last-minute scramble to find clean clothes before the school day begins.

  2. Pre-Treat Stains ASAP
    Kids are magnets for spills and stains. From ketchup to grass stains, the key to preventing these marks from setting is pre-treating them as soon as possible. Keep a stain remover handy in the laundry room and in your child’s backpack for emergencies. If you’re not sure how to treat a tricky stain, our expert cleaners can help!

  3. Separate and Label Clothes
    If you have multiple kids, laundry day can turn into a guessing game. Make life easier by sorting clothes by person and labeling items like uniforms and sports gear. Color-coded bins for each child’s laundry can also simplify sorting and folding.

  4. Use the Right Detergents
    Kids with sensitive skin need extra care when it comes to laundry. Opt for hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergents to prevent irritation. For tougher loads, like sports gear that tends to smell, choose a detergent designed for activewear.

  5. Don’t Forget About Wrinkle-Free Solutions
    Busy mornings often leave little time for ironing. To keep clothes wrinkle-free, remove them from the dryer immediately and hang them up. If ironing isn’t your thing, our wash-and-press service ensures your kids’ clothes are crisp and ready to wear.

  6. Outsource the Big Jobs
    With so much on your plate, sometimes it’s best to leave the heavy lifting to the pros. Whether it’s large loads, tricky stains, or delicate items, our team at Champion Laundry and Dry Cleaning is here to help. We offer wash-and-fold services that save you time, allowing you to focus on your family’s back-to-school routine.
