The holiday season is upon us! Between family gatherings, holiday parties, and cozy nights by the fire, your laundry basket can pile up faster than Santa’s sleigh. To help you stay merry and stress-free, here are some Christmas-themed laundry hacks to keep your wardrobe crisp, clean, and ready for the festivities.
1.Save Time with Pre-Sorted Laundry Bags
With all the holiday hustle and bustle, separating whites, colors, and delicates can be a chore. Use pre-sorted laundry bags for your household. Label them as Whites, Darks, and Special Care to save time and prevent fabric mishaps.
NimNim Tip: Don’t have time to sort laundry at all? Let NimNim handle it! Schedule a pickup, and we’ll ensure your clothes are sorted, cleaned, and delivered back to you without the hassle.
2.Remove Wrinkles with Holiday Magic (and Ice Cubes!)
Forgot to iron your favorite Christmas sweater before the party? Toss it in the dryer with a few ice cubes for 10 minutes. The steam from the melting ice will smooth out wrinkles like magic.
Pro Tip: Add a dryer sheet with a holiday scent like pine or vanilla for an extra festive touch!
3.Combat Eggnog and Hot Chocolate Stains
Holiday drinks are delicious, but spills happen. Treat stains immediately by blotting with a clean cloth. For eggnog, rinse with cold water and pretreat with a mild detergent. For hot chocolate, soak the fabric in cold water and use a mix of baking soda and water to lift the stain.
NimNim Tip: Tough stain? No worries! Hand it over to NimNim’s stain experts for a worry-free cleaning.
4.Keep Your Winter Woolens Cozy
Wool sweaters and scarves are holiday staples, but improper washing can ruin them. Always check the care label. For handwashing, use a gentle detergent in cold water and lay flat to dry. Avoid hanging, as it can stretch the fabric.
Quick Fix: Use NimNim’s dry cleaning services to keep your woolens in perfect shape all season long.
5.Freshen Up Holiday Decorations
From tree skirts to stockings, many holiday textiles can be machine-washed. Use a gentle cycle and cold water to prevent fading, and add a cup of white vinegar to remove musty smells.
Fun Hack: Place delicate ornaments and stockings in a mesh laundry bag to keep them safe in the wash.
6.Prevent Red and Green Color Bleeding
Love those festive reds and greens? Make sure they don’t bleed onto other fabrics! Wash them separately for the first few washes, and use a color catcher sheet to absorb dye.
NimNim Tip: We take extra care to separate your colors and use the best practices for vibrant, long-lasting laundry.
7.Plan Ahead for Post-Party Laundry
After the holiday parties, you’re bound to have wine-stained napkins, glittery outfits, and tablecloths that need TLC. Avoid post-party overwhelm by pre-scheduling a NimNim laundry or dry cleaning pickup. We’ll handle the mess while you relax with a cup of cocoa.
