I was a fashion major in college. Had an amazing professor who taught me to wash clothes by texture. I never use fabric softener in the machine. It will affect the fabric longevity of your laundry. If you want fabric to be softer put white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser in your washer. It’s more environmentally friendly and helps to soften clothes. I always use cold water unless whites as you said. I have not used a dry cleaner in 20+ years. Cold water is so key to clothing fibers lasting longer.
She said hot for white! Too many fabrics will be ruined with hot water! If there are stains they will be set for life in hot water!
I just sat all of my 6 kids down. Ranging in all different ages and had them. Watch this video with me as an instruction video. Thank you so much. I love it.
We always had to help with the laundry, thats such a smart thing to do with your kids :)
“I’ve never died, my family has never died” girl, you kill me! I don’t even need laundry tips but I love your videos!!
Yeah. She's going to kill someone else too. This is really dangerous. It's not a laughing matter.
I mean it probably doesn’t create mustard gas because they dispense separately and plus it’s rinsed before she encounters it even if it does😅
Right? Lol@@shelymarks952
Same 😂
It creates chlorine gas.
My son’s paternal grandmother taught him to do his own laundry while visiting her one summer. He was only 10 years old and he loved it. He felt so grown up. I didn’t know what to think until he came home. Bless her wisdom. I haven’t touched his clothes since that summer. He continued keeping up with his own laundry and my husband started doing his own. Took so much off of my plate.
Amazing!
Dad couldn't be showed up by his son haha
I watched your video for laundry years ago and after using your texture sorting method, it transformed my laundry day. I still use it to this day. It has cut down on laundry time significantly.
Mine too! We have 6 kids and her laundry system is the only way I can stay on top of it.
Same 🤚😂
Me too!!
Same!
❤️❤️❤️If you watched this video, do what Jordan does!! I changed my laundry routine after seeing the video she posted years ago and have never looked back. The only difference for me is that I use vinegar in every load for a deodorizer and fabric softener. It works great and it’s so much cheaper. This lady knows what she is talking about!! Between laundry, shelf cooking, budgeting, organizing and planning, I have learned so much from Jordan. I have purchased a lot of what she creates and sells and I have never regretted any of it!! Thank you Jordan for putting in all of the time to make these videos and products for us that need the extra help!! I can say you have definitely helped me out in many, many ways.
White vinegar in final rise makes your towels soft xx
In UK it’s normal for us to have a washing line/rotary airer in the back garden that we put up in spring summer or on a dry day. Lots of people have a hole in the ground it slips into and leave it there and have a cover on it when not in use, but you can take it out and store it over winter and it comes with a little cap so you dont catch a foot on the hole. Tumbler dryers are great for winter and rainy days though. Plus the sun can help get rid of the stains a bit too.
This is the norm in NZ as well. Seems a tad bit strange to me to use the dryer all the time. That’s a winter thing down here 😊
My mom never used a dryer in 87 years. She had 2 outdoor lines, one was under the eaves, and a basement line, and dried everything on the line year round. She felt that dryers were too harsh on clothes, and I agree. I only use the dryer for sheets, towels, pjs, and socks and underwear. Almost all outerwear we started to hang up about 15 years ago after noticing that even on the delicate dry cycle, stuff would shrink. We're 4 realtively tall women and one of my daughters is 6'0" tall, so we can't afford to risk shrinkage, especially for her because it's nearly impossible to find clothes that are long enough to fit her as it is, unless she buys men's clothes. We have 3 drying racks of different configurations and use doorways, shower rods, etc, to hang clothes up. Yes, it takes longer, but our clothes last at least 3 times as long and look nearly new even after several years of wear. And it cuts down on the gas bill, our dryer's gas powered. Worth it.
We still have lines up for jeans, and sweaters and sweats which should never be dried! They shrink and pill!
Dawn dish detergent is another thing to keep in the laundry room. Put a bit of it on anything greasy and rub it in. Grease stains are impossible to see on wet fabric. So line dry it to make sure the spot is out. If not, rewash.
But here's the best part: I've used Dawn on spots that have been there for a long time or have been through the dryer, and it can STILL get them out a lot of the time! Dawn is my secret weapon in the laundry room. 🙂
I like to use the Dawn foaming spray for laundry stains! It's great!
Love the video. It seems that fabric softener just builds up inside the drum and turns black as it contains oil which goes rancid. It’s a mold factory inside the machine infecting every load. Vinegar is a great replacement and the smell evaporates.
Love your videos for tips! Just a loving note~ the hormonal challenges you’ve so courageously shared are a direct result of toxic endocrine disrupting chemicals that are in just about every conventional “name brand “ household items. I ve struggled with hormone and thyroid imbalance also & once i got rid of the chemicals i not only feel better but it actually is very cost effective & i can personalize my fragrances with essential oils! I highly recommend to help in your health journey! 🙏🏼💛💛💛
So what do you use if you don't use anything mentioned in this video?? And if you don't use common household items in general, what do you use instead??
Your first laundry video literally changed my life!!! I love your methods. Especially the no folding 😊
I use the sorting system taught here.
I treat the front of most of my tops because I seem to always find a spot, a drip whatever…
I don’t use fabric softener sheets… they leave a film on the lint screen in the dryer and that screen will hold water instead of being “breathable.”
I love a few wool balls in the dryer.
I have been following you for years and you are always helping others, especially with big families with small kids. You look amazing btw!
Suggestion, use netted laundry bags for delicate items to help protect also items with strings or thin straps that can get tangled with other things
Years ago I heard you say buy the same colored socks and I did - what a difference it’s made ever since! Thanks for the updated vid!
I use Palmolive dish soap as a pretreatment on any greasy/oily splashes or stains on clothing before going in the wash. It’s the best.
I keep the dawn powerwash by my washer. It works so good! Im here with u on dish detergent.
Dawn Powerwash is great on deodorant buildup inside the armpits too, blew me away. Just spray, wad it up, and wash when ready.@@jamierussellville101
Ahah! I use dish fairy liquid too, was something that my mother taught me and works wonders 🎉
You can also sprinkle a bit of talc / baby powder onto the grease / oil stain to absorb the oils before throwing it into the wash.
Jordan is my girl. Been following for years. I'm so glad to see this updated routine. I accept the cold water challenge. YOU ROCK JORDAN!
We use vinegar for fabric softener in all our laundry. It is great and we love it.
Hi Jordan! So happy to see you back! I am hoping to see more videos about your faith. I see you have been through some serious struggles lately and I want to know how God got you through the tough times. I know I could use the advice. Bless you and your beautiful family!❤🙏
Does that mean ive been following you for at least 6 years? I found you off your laundry video.....
Same I can't believe it's been so long also I have been washing my laundry like this for 6 years now!!
I just thought exactly the same and I’ve washed like this since .
Same here.
Same 😂
Same
I was also really looking forward to the systems and how you teach the young kids. Labels, stickers, doing washes together or with their older siblings etc. Would love to know how to implement. Thank you. Love your video!!
Yes, yes, YES! I’ve been watching you way before your previous laundry wheel and have adopted soooo many of your tips. Thank you sooo much!
I feel like you could make 100 videos of your laundry routine, maybe saying the same things, and they'd still be all viral.
Since your first video with the laundry routine, I've been applying your method and I haven't had any accidents so far, only saving time and energy.❤️❤️❤️
This is great- it’s how I instinctively have done laundry. I also don’t mix different people’s laundry so I don’t have to separate it!
I use a more "traditional" sorting system. I have darks like blacks, dark blues, dark reds and so on, colors, whites and light colors, towels and rugs, and sheets. Sometimes i do light colors with whites if they are little. Darks and colors go on warm, whites, towels and sheets go on a hot to boiling (60°-90°C). I also wash jackets on warm (40°C), blankets on hot (60°-90°C) and shoes on warm (30°-40°C). I also use a color catcher for the colors and sometimes the darks because I also mix darks and colors into one if they are not much. I also don't use dryer sheets only wool dryer balls. I use liquid for darks and powder for whites, towels, sheets and blankets. For whites i use washing soda as an alternative on bleach because i feel like it yellows my whites.
I stopped using fabric softener and changed to those wool balls you can buy. They really work! I've been using them for a long time now. Thank you for your video on laundry tips.
My dryer balls I sprinkle a few drops of essential oils on it makes the washing smell lovely xx
I wash in cold all the time apart from my whites!!! Save energy ✨️
Perfect 👌
Yes! This is how I sort my laundry too! Sorting by fabric texture is key to extending the life of your clothes.
Each member of your family needs a delicates bag for Socks and Undies. They fill it up as they wear things. Ideally they each have a specific color on the zipper of the bag, so everyone can easily tell who each bag belongs to, and can dump the contents into their own drawer.
Life changing, money saving tip-- I use the dollar tree Tide lid to measure detergent. I throw away the big measuring caps. And just use the small measuring lid saved us so much money!!!!! Love you vids!
I love the way your brain works, Jordan!!!
I swear by vinegar instead of fabric softener, Folex will get out ANY stain in your house or clothes & dryer balls instead of dryer sheets...
YES on the clothing texture. I literally sort laundry by delicate and rough
Defo agree re separating by fabric types (I wouldn't call it texture but rather materials or fabric weight).
Same with softner! Used to love vinegar and still do but recently been loving the Downey rinse aid!
I have used vinegar as my fabric softener for years now and it's wonderful. Dryer sheets are so toxic I switched a decade or more ago to dryer balls and essential oils. I actually only use my dryer for sheets and towels I hang dry everything else. I was raised single parent so dryer was too expensive. Thanks for all the tips. I divide my clothes up the same way glad to find someone like me.
I started using Shout because of your original video. With 2 under 2, I may as well dunk my kids' entire wardrobe in Shout 😅 But it works miracles on their stains!
Teach your kids young! I started my son doing laundry before he could talk because he wanted to do what I was doing. So I let him. I helped him at that age a bit. By 3 he could run the machines by himself. Were his clothes folded perfectly? Nope. He learned and got better with practice over time. but he’s been doing his own laundry since then. He’s 17 now and I can’t remember the last time I touched his laundry.
His future wife says god bless you! :)
BRAVO! 👏 👏 👏 ❤❤❤ And that is how you do it.
I personally use vinegar as a softener! It works great AND makes sure the get all the smells out!
I only really religiously separate colors when it’s a brand new black or red item! Those still bleed occasionally.
Definitely need to start washing my towels on hot though… been wondering why my towels smell off even when clean and I think I may now know why 😅
Yes we have all been waiting for this ❤
I watched one of your first laundry videos years ago and stop sorting by color and sort by fabric instead!! done it for years now and never going back!!!
Ive used this method for years now thanks Jordan !!!!
I love laundry videos!! And I love your hair! Looks amazing. ❤
I have been using your system since your first video. I. Love. It. Thank you for the update
Love ur updated laundry video
Love all ur videos. This video was just what I needed - it motivated me to catch up on all of our laundry.
I’ve replaced my downy fabric softener with Downy Rinse & Refresh. Works great. In towels (I use all white) instead of fabric softener to keep them soft, I use white vinegar in the fabric softener compartment. I do use PODS for every wash. Regular Tide or Percil (because my front loader has a place for PODS (Electolux Washer). For the towels I use a clear POD (Seventh Generation). Loved your video. Thanks for sharing your laundry tips.
Hi Jordan! This was so helpful, thank you!
Thanks for this update! I watched your first laundry video about 3-4 years ago and it was life-changing. Our clothes and our routine improved tremendously!
One tip I found for our dryer is to use the timed dry on low heat for our clothes (similar to what you said about how you dry your own clothes). We get much better results than from the dryer pre-sets.
For whites, I discovered a UA-cam video about using liquid blueing to make our whites look whiter and it worked great! We only have to use it once every few months (once a quarter works) to keep our whites looking like new. We use the soak cycle with the liquid blueing. We also use powdered whitener instead of bleach with the load of whites. Liquid bleach gives me respiratory issues so I avoid it as much as I can. The powder works great and we use less oxy powder with it as a result.
I will be looking into using the cheaper liquid detergent for our dog and shop towels. That's a clever, money-saving move!
I also watched your laundry video a few years ago. Since then, I sort my laundry by fabric which usually means a load of jeans/pants and tops. I have been washing them on warm, but I'm going to try using cold. As for drying, we call it "par boiling" our cotton clothes (tops). I toss the load in for about 7 to 10 minutes on normal dry, low temp. Then i hang all the tops on hangers. Jeans get dried all the way and hung on hangers too. My laundry room is in our basement, so I get dressed down there every morning. I also just bought those yellow and green hair things. Not sure I'm seeing a big difference, but 1 dog doesn't shed and the one does but her hair is 1/4" long. I love all your content!!!
Enjoyed the entire video. ❤ I love your energy.😊🎉
I'm from Australia and I've always wondered why in the US you use a dryer and don't hang outside on a clothesline. Really enjoy your Chanel! Some really great ideas thank you!!
Plus hanging it out gets rid of stains!
because US temperature and weather isnt at all like Australia. (in some states it's absolutely doable..in others not so much lol)
We do this in South Africa. In summer it's like 35-40 degrees and we just hang things on the line outside. In winter on really rainy days we do use the tumble dryer but it uses so much electricity we really can't afford to use it that often.
I live in the Southern US and when it's finally pretty and warm where you could hang your clothes out the pollen is horrendous. Everything would be yellow and cause horrible allergy problems.
I live in the mountains of Southern California and there are several problems with hanging clothes outside to dry. Tree pollen is everywhere and if you have allergies you are asking for trouble. It is too cold most of the year to want to do it and many properties are built on hillsides so there is no place to hang a clothesline that’s not on a major slope. Finally, at almost 5000 feet elevation it is foggy and damp a lot of the time and the clothes would never dry.
Thank you. I've been wanting an update from the last video.
I started doing laundry like you when you posted years ago , wow it changed everything . Not only did it help the clothes stay amazing , but it also made it so I didn't dread doing the laundry . I do however fold and I do this straight out of the dryer so it one load at a time doesn't feel daunting, but i dont have 8 kids lol . It no longer seems like a huge task that no one wants to do!
Wow! how meticulous and thorough was that and I love it!! thank you and your laundry room is cool😎👌
Love the update!
@cleanmyspace mentioned in one of her videos that you don't need to use hot water ever. She said the purpose of the hot water was to active the detergent however now a days detergent is much more advanced so we don't need hot water.
Instead of fabric softeners I use regular distilled white vinegar. Helps keep washer smelling nice and eliminates smell in clothes! Definitely a lot cheaper too!
The heavy-duty driers have a static release button to decrease the static, too.
Thanks for this video, I will definitely try to apply your tips in my laundry routine. I would also be curious to know how you handle your kids clothes. It would be great if you made a video about that too.
Hey Jordan, thanks for the video. How about the kitchen towels and the bath rugs??
Thanks for the tips! what I REALLY need help is a system to fold clothes after the laundry and how to put clothes back
YES I agree fully i am 58 my kids my boys are grown and gone and now i have taught my grown grandchildren how to sort laundry by whites and texture and i have only ever used white towels with all boys brother in laws friends 15 grandchildren white everything and bleach !! I just had the conversation with my older son and how he had to explain the white towel situation to his girlfriend when they first moved in together LOL !!
Love the pet fur things! I started using them a few years ago! They really work!
Cant wait for part 2
Tip, if you have a harsh stain like grass, ink or blood. A mixture of Dawn soap, vinegar and water makes a great cleaner for clothing and even cloth furniture.
I’ve never seen someone do laundry like I do!! 🤩🤩 I’m all about fabric type not colors. This is how I’ve done laundry since I moved out and had a home of my own.
I love this family
Jordan!! I love these tips! If you put the pods in prior to putting in the clothes they will dissolve and never get stuck on your clothes. ❤😊
For those of your kids that do their own laundry do they split their weeky load into 3-4 different loads to be able to sort by Fabric? This system makes a lot of sense but I wasn't sure how it would work with just one persons laundry.
I would like to know too. My 4 older kids (6, 11, 13 & 15yo) do their own laundry too, and just chuck everything in the wash. 😅 And being living in Australia, we get lots of sun, so we hang dry our clothes. I don't own a dryer.
Yes ur voice sounds better than in the fall
I was already using cold water for all my other laundry and then bleach and hot water for whites. Hubby works on appliances and he is always saying how bad fabric softener is so bad for washing machines. It clogs up the pipes.
I'm definitely old enough to know better but I always washed everything together, no separating. But after seeing how pristine your white towels are, I've decided to start separating mines. My family thanks you. 😄
Thank you so much! Been waiting for this! Would love a tour of your laundry rooms! I know you have more than one 😂
I never really thought about separating fabrics, with the exception of delicates.
So helpful!
Your hair is amazing!
Love laundry videos!
I think having a big family, it’s important to have a laundry system. 😁
Ive been doing something like this as well! Very interesting to watch. Btw, your voice sounds so much better!!
Love your laundry tips (: Could you do a video on self care on a budget and/or a beauty routine on a budget ?
Great video, you are so funny! I'm going to try this method right now! Thanks love you!
Thank you for the motivation!
If you live in a mountain area like I do, where the cold water is really cold, you need to run the washer on hot at least once or twice a week or the detergent doesn’t dissolve all the way and clogs your hoses. That happened to me and luckily a friend was able to diagnose the problem and help me fix it. I too wash my clothing by thickness because thick items take more time to dry and lighter fabrics wear out faster when you over dry them.
Great video!
Just started following you. U dont look like a mother of 8. I love ur vids.
Wow you are so passionate and knowledgeable about doing the laundry! I pretty much just chuck it all in and use the same cheap powder detergent everytime! I’m pretty proud of myself just for getting the laundry in! 😅
lol 😅 girl I love your personality!!!! I too don’t need laundry tips but I love the ideas on what detergents you use
We stopped using fabric softener because over time it actually harms the washer!
and your clothes!
I love that your kids do laundry!
I’m priming mine already, they have to separate all the pieces (underwear out of the pants…) before they go in the hamper.
This is exactly what I do, I feel validated in being so picky now 😌
Great tips. Thank you.
I do laundry the same way! I wash cottons, synthetics, wool, towels all separately and I do whites on their own too.
So much info. Thank you. ❤❤
I do have the same categories and more or less do sort the laundry like you do (I thought everyone does it like this 🤭🤣). I also like to use small clips to hold the socks together in different colours. Love those 😍
I sort by fabric texture too!
I said no to fabric softener years ago! I do use some scent beads though to help the clothes smell nicer longer. I do use dryer sheets (I have a big box I haven't used up yet so when it's done I may go to the balls) but I DON'T throw a dryer sheet in with towels. I heard or read somewhere it prevents the towels from being as absorbent. And I do a mix of sorting. Most of my girls things can be considered "lights" so they get washed together. Hubby and I have either "heavy" or "light" clothes, rarely do I have anything I need to wash that's more delicate. I do towels separately and blankets/bedding separately. I'm really wanting a drying rack but I need to finish painting my laundry room before I get one. It's a slow and steady process.
Hi Jordan, I love this video. I really love to learn how you dry all the closed. Can you make a video of who what and how you can put your closes in the dryer without it getting shrink and colors fade. Thank you Melissa from Amsterdam The Netherlands
This was amazing ❤ 27:34
Appreciate your tips ❤
I like Tide laundry detergent- just found that it works great! I use perfume and dye free.
Nobody taught me how to sort laundry . Like washing jeans and shirt separately. Washing socks and underwear together. I knew about washing towels separately. Also didnt know before it was wrong to wash bulky item w delicate. So thankful for this video!!!!!!!!
