Don't forget, you should never close your washer's door immediately after using it because it will grow mold. You should leave it open until it has had time to dry, and the same goes for the slider you put the detergent in. Let both dry over night.

I'm a peer mentor for freshmen at my university, I'll definitely share this video with them! I remember during my freshman year, so many of us were lost because not everyone's families taught them how. Since you do have to pay for every load(washing and drying separately) at my university, I often just put darks and lights together(unless it was heavily soiled).

Yep, it works just fine for me! As she mentions though, new coloured clothes shouldn’t be washed with whites. The dyes may bleed the first few times they’re washed, but should stop after that.
i have 1 tip: get a laundry basket that has holes so it's breathable and doesn't stink up the area before you get the chance to wash
4:23 hydrogen peroxide can remove most food and other organic stains as well, not just blood. I eat on my bed since I live in a small dorm with no table to eat at and have had strawberry, soy sauce, and chocolate stains on a white cotton blanket and just pouring on some hydrogen peroxide removed the stains after sitting for 5 or so minutes.

Something that can be helpful for eating on your bed - get a tray with the legs that fold under! I've found them at thrift stores or Ross - great for holding study supplies, crafts as well! And when you're done - a quick wipe and fold the legs! Then tuck on a narrow space (I'm at my daughter's while my Granny Flat is being constructed - and so glad I brought one along! A TV tray's anothoption. Easy to stow away optiin.

Actually ice cubes work with blood and of course chewing gum… one thing I didn’t notice is the use of an iron- especially in the summer ( seems counterproductive with the summer heat )when most clothing is lighter with cotton and linen etc. I find I need to iron these especially a tailored white shirt and also pants especially if they have a crease or cuffs it makes a huge difference plus dryers don’t prevent 100% of wrinkles!
Girl thank you. For some reason my mother neglected to teach me anything about cleaning/cooking and generally taking care of myself so I need to rely on kind folks like you to teach me how to adult 😓

Why is this such a common thing nowadays it’s sad. Instead of isolating your child and neglecting them, teach them how to survive when they eventually leave you on your own
Can you believe there are people who would see this and call it OCD even tho this is how things are supposed to be done. I swear, one day my home is gonna be immaculate thanks to your videos. ✨
Here are a few things that may or may not work for you: -for folding, I like to military roll all my shirts and sort by white, black, and all other colours into bins with dividers. It may stretch things out tho so ymmv -my mom mentioned also sorting by texture to prevent smooth things from pilling from fluffy things, so this can help if you need to make your loads smaller for your washing machine size -I do my laundry cycles whilst I also do the rest of my chores, so I put the first load in then do a lil surface clean, a vacuum, and take out the garbage -if you struggle a bit, done > perfect. It's okay to baby step it!
i fold clothes for a lot of people, so i like to lay a clean sheet out on the floor and fold on that! it gives me a lot of room to work with so i feel less cramped :)
One reason why I can't wait to finally move out is so that I can practice all the fun tips and become a master "home manager" just like krist HAHA~ Great video, I really enjoyed it :)

A little tip for those who don’t have the self folding laundry board - if you look at the colar of t-shirts, folding to the edge of each side will make it more uniform - in other words use the colar of shirts as your guide because they’re usually the same width if they’re the same style/size This is such a useful video! I hate doing laundry but I’m more inspired after watching this! Thanks for all the effort you put in to your channel 💕
Thank you Krist, you helped motivate me to get out of bed and do my laundry! Life saver ✨️
these are the videos that i NEED on youtube and motivate me to clean. i never got to learn these simple things growing up and i love your channel for spreading helpful information like this
You’re literally the sweetest. Your videos are soooo relaxing and helpful 😊 thank you for your knowledge!!
Oh wow just what i needed. Thank you krist! you’re like a sister i never had 🥺
Wow I've never thought in my life that such a simple process like laundry could have that much details, tips and hacks.. which of course are soo helpful. Thank you 🤍
There are several adults in my house, so laundry is almost an everyday thing! We usually handle our own laundry, but there was a time when I did a lot of the hanging up (no tumble dryer) and folding, and I actually grew to enjoy it. 😆 I love that I can just listen to music or a podcast while doing it! Your video has some great tips, like separating darks and lights.I did this a couple of years ago by having two different coloured hampers instead of just one. Really helped!
I do laundry 1 to 2 times a week maximum for my husband and I. We work mostly from home (photographer and videographer) so laundry is less. I love doing laundry and folding and organizing the clean clothes back into the drawers. I love it 😍
Love this, even feel happy to return from vacation and start doing laundry. Would love a video about your nail routine as well.
i love your channel and your vibe! so special and brings me a piece of peace whenever i click. wonderful!
Laundry ! … my favorite . Who doesn’t love clean clothes and laundry. Thanks . Love the video
Is there a video on dishes! You go into the details of the dirt and how it works to clean, which lets me know it's clean. And mindfully so helpful!

your shop is amazing!!
love this. I also use mesh bags to keep from losing my socks! also for socks, I actually don't even fold most of my socks. all of my identical socks just get flattened and laid on top of each other, so I can just grab the top two out of a stack and go. Patterned ones do get folded together, but the majority of my socks are holdovers from a job with a dress code requiring black socks, so I kept the same ones and made it easy for me!
I love seeing more vids from you. We've missed you < 3 We don't watch your videos for perfection we watch them for you! Hope you and the fam are well < 3
I do one load of laundry a day 🤷♀️ i put it in the washing mashine in the evening, I set the timer, so when I wake up at 6am the cycle is done and I can put it in the dryer. I feel like I've done a big task in the morning and it helps me keep motivated as a SAHM. 😂😂
Literally the best videos for starting an adult routine
Omg you are my goals girl ❤ thanks for the video

I love this video! All great tips and all so practical. It's going to be a game-changer for, because I'm not a fan of doing laundry.
I clicked because of the thumbnail, not expecting anything special, even thinking to myself, "yeah, yet another of those calm vibes, add-nothing-really, white noise videos", but boy, was I wrong. What a packed with good, helpful info video to watch. I learned so much that I had to stop mid-video and write this comment.
Reaally thank you so much, I needed this video❤
I always fold my clothes the same way they do in stores. Ilove the way it looks and its easy to recognize what it is.
First time watching , really enjoyed it , Thankyou
On my wall is the mantra “love what you do - do what you love!” I only do things when I can feel good about it so I tend to listen to a lot of funny audiobooks while doing housework. 🦋✨🧚
Your video popped up on my subscriptions (which they haven’t recently) and I can’t recall if you have a separate account… but I remember old videos that were …. Let’s say eccentric. It it fun to see you evolve and change. Congratulations on your marriage and excited to see your channel again on my subscriptions.
Love the Kings kaleidoscope shirt ❤
I absolutely hate doing my laundry. Its the one thing I do last minute a lot. I need to make it a better habit of doing it and doing it right. I never been "taught" the correct or wrong way. This video was really helpful to me! And maybe I will do my laundry aesthetically like you do. lol
I fold on the table, I air dry every day, it’s so good to smell the perfume cuz I put fabric softener
I am not going to lie, I watch this video like five times. I love it! Actually I just absolutely love your videos... I went ahead and bought from your KyndKare shop because I want to revamp my laundry routine. I became lazy after college and thought wash everything together! (crazy right! And don't get me started on my use of scent beads and using softner on everything) But after watching your videos I was like I need to take care of myself and my laundry. I am excited to use your starboost for stains and have a little kare kit handy for little touch ups here and there. P.s: Does anyone know where her dress came from? Like it is freaking nice and looks soooo comfy!
That's pretty good! Taking notes furiously 😆
Girl, your laundry routine is so extra. LOL 😂 I don’t separate my towels and bedsheets from my clothes. I only separate all fabric items by color and they still come out sanitized and clean. Saving water is important, so running less loads is good. I don’t even separate my baby’s clothes from the adult clothes and they come out clean, stain-free and no baby skin irritation. For washing ALL t-shirts,especially graphic shirts or any clothes with embroidery/prints, I ALWAYS turn every shirt inside out to maintain its integrity. P.S. Clean your lint traps people! Unless you want to start a 🔥.

I do separate mine - not to be extra but for hygienic reasons. I wash my clothes at 30-40 degrees celcius, bedding+towels at 60 degrees celcius and cloths at 90 degrees celcius. Anything under 60 degrees doesn't kill off bacteria...

Why would anyone separate baby clothes from adult clothes? I always washed them together, but I don’t use scented detergents, so it was fine. If you’re using heavy scents, then I guess that would make sense. Best to just use a good baby detergent on everything, so you don’t have to worry about baby getting a reaction from being in their clothes/bedding/towels or against your clothes/bedding/towels.
Watching this is so entertaining
This is by far the best laundry video. I learned so much, and I thought I knew my shit when it came to laundry hahaha. amazing work!!
Watching this was very satisfying, I already knew most of these but I will definitely try new folding methods! (May provide me some extra space!
Dawn dish soap is by far the most effective thing I’ve ever used to remove stains. That, and regular laundry detergent applied directly to the stain
I don’t know how to express how helpful this was 🥹 thank you!
I could literally binge watch your videos all day (I already do) it’s just so satisfying watch you have your sh!t together 🤣 and teaching me how to organise my life
laundry us something I still have to call my mom with questions for. I remember always asking my mom to teach me growing up but it was just cheaper to do everyone's laundry in shared batches so I never did do my own laundry until college. Most of my clothes are black so i didn't need to sort my colors, and I usually need clothes to shrink so i'm fine with hot water, but it also costs more and i've been told it makes clothes not last as long. Now almost 30 I'm finally gonna be on my own, no family members or roommates to share loads with, so I finally have full control of my laundry. but I also put off doing chores a lot. not that I hate doing it, idk if it's depression or maybe everyone was right that I have ADHD and it's ADHD Paralysis, or what. but I always find myself doing my laundry once EVERYTHING is dirty with a full basket(and floor.) so this video is just what I need
I konmari fold everything and laundry is such a pain… Like ultimately it makes me happy to have my closet organized and see everything and it makes getting dressed so much easier but it’s such a giant and daunting task on laundry day. It usually takes me 3 days to put away clean laundry and by then my clean clothes are wrinkly lol. I need one of those clothes-folding-template things.
I’m moving out soon… this video is the perfect guide that came out at the perfect time!! Thank you a lot
this is such a helpful video wow
That was so helpful and motivational, thank you
thanx for the tips, so helpful 😍
Alright here take my subscription loved the vid made me fell calm and happy to be honest
WOW 😳 ... doing my laundry now..... put it ALL in...added soap, softener and oxi.... will be done in about 2 hrs......then done 'til next Monday 😁
The best cleaning motivation. Thank you :)
as im one person, i tend to do my laundry in a particular order. Casuals, Jeans, towels & sheets, and delicates. I'm basically going from hardest to fold to easiest (i dont dry my delicates, i hang them up lol)

Amazing video ❤
I do my laundry on Sunday. I do one load and sometimes I do two loads a week. As soon as I wake up, clothes go in the washer. Before putting clothes in my hamper, I always sort, turn inside out etx so that i dont waste time to put clothes in the washer. I simultaneously start my day, do other things around the house ( there is always something to do 😅) and then when everything is done, immediately fold and put it away. I prefer silence to fold my clothes and put them away. I love doing the laundry and washing dishes by hand they are the most mind numbing activities to do where my brain can rest from the mile a minute thoughts.
I feel inspired to do laundry now
I wish I could be this organizeded🙌
This hamper is cute! Where did you find it?
Like the cat and tips!
Wait, 1 hour for an average wash cycle ? I only have 2 or 4 hours, and I need to wash my sheets and my husband clothes 4 hours (or else it does not wash properly because of his sweat) 😕 so jealous! I try to reduce the amount of cycles so I mix together most of the items by temperature needs, so I do not have empty machines, to reduce time and water usage. I wash together sheets+towels+any item that washes at 60°C and clothes at 30 or 40°C, I separate only the dark clothes that could potentially stain lighter fabric. If there is super dirty items I was them separately or rince by hand first. Dish detergent works very well on any oil or bike grease stains I agree ! Thanks for the tips, that is nice to see other ways !
Very helpful ❤ i liked it
this is way too much 😭😭 i wanna become this skilled
For blood stains I always soak in COLD water first. If the stain isn’t too old, it will go out without any problem! And of course machinewash after
