Your Essential Back-to-School Laundry List
School is back in! Whether it’s your first time sending a child off to school or you’re a seasoned pro, there’s always plenty to do to get ready. One often overlooked yet crucial aspect of back-to-school preparation is the laundry list.
Here’s your guide to making sure your student’s wardrobe is ready for the first day of school and beyond:
- Sort and Purge: Go through your child’s clothes and separate items that no longer fit or are worn out. Donate or recycle these if possible.
- Inventory: Take stock of what’s left and what your child will need for the upcoming school year. Remember to consider uniforms, gym clothes, and any other special attire requirements.
- Shop Smart: When purchasing new clothing, consider its care needs. Try to choose items that are machine washable and dryer safe to save time and effort.
- Prep Ahead: Wash and iron all clothing before the first day of school. This will ensure everything is clean and ready to go, reducing stress on that exciting first morning.
- Create a Schedule: Establish a regular laundry schedule to keep up with washing, drying, and folding. This routine can help prevent a buildup of dirty clothes.
- Teach Responsibility: If your child is old enough, teach them how to do their own laundry. This can be a great way to instill responsibility and prepare them for life beyond school.
