I’m a mom-of-4 & only do laundry 1 day a week – my ‘basket hack’ makes it possible
GETTING all the laundry washed, dried, and folded for a large family can be slightly overwhelming for some.
According to one woman, there’s a way to get your laundry obligations handled once a week.
Mother-of-four and TikToker Shannon Lyon posted a video sharing details of how she gets all the clothes in her home washed.
She says: ” Here’s how we do all the laundry in one day a week for a family of six.”
Her first step is to make sure everyone in the family how their own designated laundry basket.
“First, you need to sort all the clothes by person – not by color,” she explains.

“Put the clothes in each person’s basket and switch the loads as soon as [each] timer ends,” Shannon says.
In her video, Shannon sorts through piles of clothing to make sure everything is properly separated.
She continues: “Make your kids help for sure!
“Once the clothes come out of the washer, each person just folds their own load and puts it right away.”

Shannon reveals that she folds her own clothes, her husband’s clothes, and their toddler’s clothes.
Shannon’s two older kids are capable of folding their own clothing, so she allows them to do that.
She adds: “You can do one extra load for whites and towels if you have that.
“And then you don’t have to think about it all week!”
Hundreds of people have responded in Shannon’s TikTok comment section.
One woman wrote: “That’s what we do and we are a family of five.”
“Yeah this is how I do it and it’s made it so much easier,” someone else added.
