    Me too!!! I do the same thing, and it's a game changer!!! I delay the cycle though, so it finishes at 6 am ready for me to deal with it.

    I start a load every night on a 7 hour delay. The load finishes minutes after I wake up and I typically start load 2 of the day by 6:30 am. I like to have the laundry done for the day by breakfast! :)

      OK This is the second comment I've read about a DELAY!!! WHAT?!?! I need to study my machine and see if I have one!

      I LOVE the delay wash feature. Before lockdowns, it was practically the only way I did laundry. Now that I think of it, I should probably start that up again because I have no laundry routine now.

      Kira Hill it’s so nice to have two loads done right away in the morning. Makes laundry feel much more in control. I start my second load while my coffee is brewing.

    I am disorganized at home, but organized at work.I absolutely love to start laundry at night, just like I start my dishwasher at night. Laundry is one of the few things about which I do not struggle. This makes total sense!!!!!!

    You could delay the machine starting at night so it's just finished the wash as your getting up in the morning, I used to do it like you till I realised I should just set the delay start on the machine, even though, like you I never had any problem with the clothes smelling, only ever smelt of the fabric softener which I used....I totally get what you do as I also find this works better for me than doing this in the morning xx

    I don’t see how this is different than a working mom who starts a load before she leaves for work and lets it set all day. Whatever works for you is fabulous! I do a time delay for 5hrs when I leave for work and I switch it as soon as I get through my door from work and before I start dinner then fold after my kiddos are in bed. Love you videos!

    • @TheDovesNest
      @TheDovesNest  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks! I've never had a delay option, so I started at night. When I worked and was gone from my house for 10 or so hours, if I started a load before work, I wouldn't get home until 6 or 7... by the time the laundry would finish drying I was too tired to fold/put it away, so I always had a big Mt. Laundry

  • @RebelAlliance42

    I have no issues leaving my washing in the machine overnight either. I also clean my washing machine out every month, and I use sanitizer in every wash. It's when it gets left for days that it might start to smell.

  • @star_sailor6446
    @star_sailor6446 4 роки тому

    If your laundry smells gross after a night in the washing machine you need to get that machine cleaned or repared/replaced. That should not happen. If you don't want your clothes to sit in your machine over night you could also set a timer for the machine to start a programm at night so it is right about done when you wake up (most machines have this timer at least in my country). Thanks for your uplifting and motivating videos!

  • @laurelin4401

    I start a load of laundry as soon as dinner is over(in theory that’s when no more clothes will get dirty for the rest of the day), and I switch it to the dryer before I go to bed. If I can’t sleep(pregnancy insomnia!), I fold it when it’s done, or I wait until morning. Everyone just has to find what works best for their own family. :-)

    Controversial?! That's funny! How many loads do they forget in the washer? 😂
    I agree with throwing a load in at night and drying the next morning. I need to eventually switch to this, but doing cloth diapers twice a week for the last 4 1/2 years I have to do a ore rinse before setting it to wash so I have to do this in the mornings.
    I wash a different load daily as well. 🙌🏻
