My VERY UNCONVENTIONAL Laundry Routine! Laundry hacks, tips, and tricks | Jordan Page

I was a fashion major in college. Had an amazing professor who taught me to wash clothes by texture. I never use fabric softener in the machine. It will affect the fabric longevity of your laundry. If you want fabric to be softer put white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser in your washer. It’s more environmentally friendly and helps to soften clothes. I always use cold water unless whites as you said. I have not used a dry cleaner in 20+ years. Cold water is so key to clothing fibers lasting longer.

I just sat all of my 6 kids down. Ranging in all different ages and had them. Watch this video with me as an instruction video. Thank you so much. I love it.

White vinegar in final rise makes your towels soft xx

I watched your video for laundry years ago and after using your texture sorting method, it transformed my laundry day. I still use it to this day. It has cut down on laundry time significantly.

My son’s paternal grandmother taught him to do his own laundry while visiting her one summer. He was only 10 years old and he loved it. He felt so grown up. I didn’t know what to think until he came home. Bless her wisdom. I haven’t touched his clothes since that summer. He continued keeping up with his own laundry and my husband started doing his own. Took so much off of my plate.

Love your videos for tips! Just a loving note~ the hormonal challenges you’ve so courageously shared are a direct result of toxic endocrine disrupting chemicals that are in just about every conventional “name brand “ household items. I ve struggled with hormone and thyroid imbalance also & once i got rid of the chemicals i not only feel better but it actually is very cost effective & i can personalize my fragrances with essential oils! I highly recommend to help in your health journey! 🙏🏼💛💛💛

Love the video. It seems that fabric softener just builds up inside the drum and turns black as it contains oil which goes rancid. It’s a mold factory inside the machine infecting every load. Vinegar is a great replacement and the smell evaporates.

In UK it’s normal for us to have a washing line/rotary airer in the back garden that we put up in spring summer or on a dry day. Lots of people have a hole in the ground it slips into and leave it there and have a cover on it when not in use, but you can take it out and store it over winter and it comes with a little cap so you dont catch a foot on the hole. Tumbler dryers are great for winter and rainy days though. Plus the sun can help get rid of the stains a bit too.

I use Palmolive dish soap as a pretreatment on any greasy/oily splashes or stains on clothing before going in the wash. It’s the best.

“I’ve never died, my family has never died” girl, you kill me! I don’t even need laundry tips but I love your videos!!

Dawn dish detergent is another thing to keep in the laundry room. Put a bit of it on anything greasy and rub it in. Grease stains are impossible to see on wet fabric. So line dry it to make sure the spot is out. If not, rewash. But here's the best part: I've used Dawn on spots that have been there for a long time or have been through the dryer, and it can STILL get them out a lot of the time! Dawn is my secret weapon in the laundry room. 🙂

We use vinegar for fabric softener in all our laundry. It is great and we love it.

❤️❤️❤️If you watched this video, do what Jordan does!! I changed my laundry routine after seeing the video she posted years ago and have never looked back. The only difference for me is that I use vinegar in every load for a deodorizer and fabric softener. It works great and it’s so much cheaper. This lady knows what she is talking about!! Between laundry, shelf cooking, budgeting, organizing and planning, I have learned so much from Jordan. I have purchased a lot of what she creates and sells and I have never regretted any of it!! Thank you Jordan for putting in all of the time to make these videos and products for us that need the extra help!! I can say you have definitely helped me out in many, many ways.

I stopped using fabric softener and changed to those wool balls you can buy. They really work! I've been using them for a long time now. Thank you for your video on laundry tips.

I was also really looking forward to the systems and how you teach the young kids. Labels, stickers, doing washes together or with their older siblings etc. Would love to know how to implement. Thank you. Love your video!!

Suggestion, use netted laundry bags for delicate items to help protect also items with strings or thin straps that can get tangled with other things

I use a more "traditional" sorting system. I have darks like blacks, dark blues, dark reds and so on, colors, whites and light colors, towels and rugs, and sheets. Sometimes i do light colors with whites if they are little. Darks and colors go on warm, whites, towels and sheets go on a hot to boiling (60°-90°C). I also wash jackets on warm (40°C), blankets on hot (60°-90°C) and shoes on warm (30°-40°C). I also use a color catcher for the colors and sometimes the darks because I also mix darks and colors into one if they are not much. I also don't use dryer sheets only wool dryer balls. I use liquid for darks and powder for whites, towels, sheets and blankets. For whites i use washing soda as an alternative on bleach because i feel like it yellows my whites.

I personally use vinegar as a softener! It works great AND makes sure the get all the smells out! I only really religiously separate colors when it’s a brand new black or red item! Those still bleed occasionally. Definitely need to start washing my towels on hot though… been wondering why my towels smell off even when clean and I think I may now know why 😅

Years ago I heard you say buy the same colored socks and I did - what a difference it’s made ever since! Thanks for the updated vid!

Life changing, money saving tip—- I use the dollar tree Tide lid to measure detergent. I throw away the big measuring caps. And just use the small measuring lid saved us so much money!!!!! Love you vids!
