Last-Minute Christmas Laundry Checklist: Get Your Clothes Ready in Time for the Holidays!
The holiday season is in full swing, and Christmas is just around the corner. Between holiday shopping, family gatherings, and decorating the tree, the last thing you want to be worried about is laundry. But if you’ve got a pile of clothes building up—whether it’s your festive outfits, your kids’ winter gear, or bedding for all those extra guests—you’re going to need a plan to get everything clean, fresh, and ready for Christmas!
Don't worry—if you're running behind or simply don’t want to deal with the stress, Clean Right Laundromat is here to help. We've put together a last-minute laundry checklist to ensure you’re not scrambling at the last minute. Here's what you need to do to get your laundry game on point before the big day!
1. Assess Your Laundry Needs
First things first—take stock of what needs cleaning. This will help you prioritize and avoid feeling overwhelmed. Here’s a quick list of common laundry items that tend to pile up around the holidays:
- Holiday Outfits: Special attire for parties, dinners, or church services.
- Winter Clothing: Coats, scarves, gloves, hats, and snow pants.
- Bedding: Extra sheets and blankets for overnight guests or family members.
- Towels: Extra towels for guests or the influx of holiday guests using your guest bathroom.
- Holiday Table Linens: Tablecloths, napkins, and cloth placemats used during holiday meals.
2. Make a Quick Plan of Attack
Now that you know what needs to be washed, make a simple laundry plan to ensure you tackle everything in time. Prioritize based on what you'll need first (e.g., holiday outfits for Christmas Eve or morning), and be realistic about how much time you have left.
3. Take Advantage of Same-Day Laundry Services
Running out of time? Clean Right Laundromat offers a same-day laundry service to help you get your clothes cleaned and ready quickly. Whether you need to wash, dry, and fold your laundry we’ve got you covered. Simply drop off your laundry, and we’ll handle the rest, leaving you with more time to focus on what really matters—enjoying the holiday season!
4. Separate Your Laundry
When you’re on a time crunch, separating your laundry into piles based on type and fabric can save you a lot of time. Sort your laundry into these categories:
- Delicates: Avoid putting your holiday party attire or fine fabrics like wool or silk in the dryer. If you’re washing at the laundromat, make sure to ask for any special handling.
- Colors: Be sure to separate darks from lights to prevent any color bleeding, especially with new holiday outfits!
- Heavy Items: Towels, bedding, and coats should be washed separately to ensure they get cleaned properly without overloading the machine.
5. Don’t Forget the Detergent & Fabric Softener
If you’re washing your clothes yourself at Clean Right Laundromat, make sure you have the right detergent, fabric softener, and stain removers. For last-minute laundry, using high-efficiency detergent can make a big difference in reducing washing time, and fabric softeners will keep everything fresh for those family photos.
6. Tackle Bedding and Towels
Holiday guests are likely to need extra towels and bedding. If you don't have enough time to wash everything at home, Clean Right Laundromat offers oversized washers to handle bulky items like blankets, comforters, and pillowcases.
In fact, with all the extra towels and linens piling up from holiday hosting, it might be worth considering the Wash and Fold service for your sheets, pillowcases, and towels. You’ll get everything cleaned and folded, saving you a ton of time!
7. Check for Stains Before You Go
Take a quick minute to check your clothes for stains before tossing them in the washer. Treating stains in advance can prevent them from setting and ensure your holiday attire looks pristine when it’s time to wear it. Keep a stain remover or pre-wash spray handy and follow the instructions carefully. If you’re short on time, our staff at Clean Right Laundromat is always ready to offer tips or help you with pre-treatment for tricky stains!
