Hello my name is Allison. I am the mother of four boys ages 5, 3, and 20 month old twins. As you can imagine keeping up with the laundry in our house can seem like a full time job. Thanks to laundry tips my mom taught me growing up and experimenting with what works best for me I have developed a good system. I’m excited to share my laundry tips and tricks as part of Spring Cleaning here at Gluesticks.
Finding a good routine for keeping up with laundry was a necessity. With six people in our house the hampers seem to fill up in just one day.
I am a hands on mom with a firm belief in the value of messy play. With messy play comes messy clothes. Would you believe that I have never met a stain I can’t get out?
My kids are almost always covered in paint, glue, glitter, food coloring, dirt, or food. It comes with the territory with young children.
Believe it or not I do not stress about the mess when we are doing an activity, because I know the tools that will gets the stains clean without fading clothes.
In my Laundry Tips and Tricks post you will find:
- suggestions for a laundry routine
- pitfalls to avoid
- sorting suggestions
- detergent recommendations
- stain prevention and treatment
Theselaundry tipshaven’t failed me yet! Let me leave you with the most important tip for stain removal: Do not dry clothing until the stain is gone. Dried stains are set stains. Even the toughest stains can come out as long as they aren’t heat dried.

Hi Tiffany,
This post about laundry was a guest post from a blogger whose site is called “Train Up a Child”. She has since changed the name of the blog, but here is here link: http://www.learnplayimagine.com/ I don’t believe it was related to the book. Hope that helps!
