Laundry is a chore that most people dislike. It's not that it's that difficult. We aren't out there beating our clothes on rocks anymore, after all. It is, however, time consuming and there is large potential for things to go wrong. Miscellaneous items left in pockets that make their way into the wash, an item that bleeds when wet, things that shrink; there are so many disasters just waiting to happen. What if you could protect yourself from some of these unfortunate incidents? You can, and Stockpile easy home inventory system can help.
That's right, Stockpile, the free inventory management solution that you use to track household items can make laundry days easier and less stressful. How? It's easy. One of the biggest mistakes that people make when doing laundry is not reading the washing instructions. That shouldn't come as a big surprise. Those tags are tiny and often hard to read. Plus, it would take forever to sort your wash if you took the time to examine every single tag. Most people check the tag the first time they wash something and then rely on memory for future laundering. The more laundry you have to do, the less likely you are to catch every single 'lay flat to dry' garment.
If you're a longtime follower of our blog you know that we advocate adding new items in Stockpile when you buy them. As you're adding that item record be sure to include the washing instructions. Next time you get ready to do laundry you won't have to search the inside of the garment searching for the washing instructions. Nor will you have to decipher the tiny font and that symbols that you don't understand. You'll already have all that information in your item record, easily accessible with just a few clicks. You can even "flag" item records to indicate that they have special washing instructions.
As you sort your laundry, make a pile of things you're not sure about. Then grab your phone or mobile device and check those items in Stockpile. You'll find the washing instructions clearly spelled out in the item record, no squinting required. Add anything that does require special drying to a paper list so that when it comes out of the washer you can separate those items out before you throw the rest of the load into the dryer.
Since laundry is one of those tasks that you can have going in the background while you focus on other things, it's easy to forget to rescue those delicate pieces before they go in the dryer. If you've ever turned a favorite item into clothing fit for a toddler, you know how frustrating it can be. Of course, if the worst happens, you could use your Stockpile records to help you locate a replacement. If you have a detailed item record you'll know when you purchased the item and where you got it. That will give you a great starting point when you're ready to go shopping.
