This post brought to you by Tide® HE Turbo Clean™. The content and opinions expressed below are that of About A Mom.
Ask any mom what her least favorite task is, and there’s a good chance the word ‘laundry’ will be muttered. Sometimes angrily. Often through tears. Seriously. Laundry is no fun at all.
Laundry.
It’s such a dirty little word. A never ending chore.
I try to do a load of laundry every day, to stay on top of it. To get some help with the sorting, I recommend having three laundry hampers in the laundry room. Have one for whites, one for darks and one for colors. Then everyone is responsible for sorting their own laundry. Older kids can easily do this, and I think it is a real time saver.
What else can we do to make the task of laundry easier?
Enlist (bribe) the kids for laundry duty. Ask the hubby to help in any way he can. (Not always a good idea, if you really care about your clothes.) Buy the best high efficiency (HE) washing machine you can afford, because every minute counts and you need that laundry done fast.
After all this, why doesn’t it seem like the laundry is getting done any faster? Most likely it’s the extra SUDS that could be slowing down the laundry process. You can’t use any old detergent with your high efficiency (HE) washing machine, and expect the best results.
Conquer the Laundry, Smarter and Faster with Tide® HE Turbo Clean™
To conquer the task of laundry, I recommend using Tide® HE Turbo Clean™. It is specially formulated for HE washing machines. In fact, Tide® was the first national detergent brand to offer HE formulas for HE washing machines, recognizing that HE machines clean differently (less water, different agitation and lower temperatures).
Tide® HE Turbo Clean™ detergents save time (up to 25 minutes of cycle time) and water using proprietary, quick-dissolving Smart Suds™ technology that helps prevent HE Machines from running additional rinse cycles.
When using an HE washing machine, you need to measure your detergent a little differently. Many HE washing machines have 40% larger drums (vs. traditional machines) and can wash up to 32 pounds of laundry. With the load size of an HE Machine up to 4x larger than a traditional top loader, each load can contain 40%+ more dirt, which requires an appropriate amount of detergent to properly clean.
A first-of-its-kind, the HE Turbo Clean™ formula is the #1 recommended detergent by leading HE washer manufacturers. It is available in Tide® liquid detergent, Tide Pods® pacs and Tide® powder formula.
If you’ve ever felt sick of doing laundry, you have to watch this video from What’s Up Moms and P&G Tide.
It’s a hilarious, fun and light hearted video. I think they perfectly captured the frustration moms have with laundry, and shows how Tide® HE Turbo Clean™ can help you conquer the laundry by eliminating extra wash cycles, saving time and energy.
Did you get a chuckle from that video too? I’m dying to know, what are your tips for conquering laundry? I can use all the help I can get.

June 29, 2015 at 12:59 PMI do most of this too…try to do a load every day kind of thing, and I too have three hampers in the laundry room to help sort faster and make sure I keep on top of it…still its never ending and I hate the folding and putting away part. Grrr!

aimee fauci says

Liz Mays says
June 29, 2015 at 5:37 PMI like to do as much laundry in one go as possible. My laundry area is so small so I don’t like to spend a lot of time there!
Pam says
June 29, 2015 at 6:36 PMMy tip is to do a load a day! That is the only way I can stay on top of it.
Heather says
June 29, 2015 at 7:53 PMWhat a fun video. I love Tide detergent.
Toughcookiemommy says
June 29, 2015 at 10:35 PMTide has always been such a great detergent. Not only does it smell great, but it also cleans all the laundry really well.
Amber NElson says

Marian says
June 30, 2015 at 8:54 AMI hate laundry! It truly is a never ending chore. To make it easier I do laundry several days a week.
Ann Bacciaglia says
June 30, 2015 at 1:58 PMI have been thinking about replacing my washer and dryer. I will have to take a look at the High efficiency machines.
shelly peterson says
June 30, 2015 at 8:36 PMTide is a great product. I sure do dislike doing laundry but I think I dislike doing the dishes more.
Lisa Rios says
July 1, 2015 at 6:20 AMI do always use tide products for my laundry over the years as it provides a better solution with great smell as well. I just love that video, its absolutely fun. Thanks for sharing.

July 1, 2015 at 6:52 AMTide is the best detergent out there. I love the way it smells too!
Julie Wood says
July 1, 2015 at 10:01 AMMy tip is to have different baskets with the clothes already sorted so on wash day you do not have to sort the clothes. And to keep up with laundry-do the laundry every day!!
Diana says
July 1, 2015 at 8:40 PMTide is too expensive, I use Arm and Hammer instead. I have sensitive skin as well so this is one of the few brands that works for me! But great tips on HE washing!
Trish F says
July 1, 2015 at 8:50 PMWhen my kids were young and my husband worked 5 days a week, I did all of the laundry. I really didn’t mind it. But, as soon as they got to be young teenagers, they didn’t like the way I would shrink things, so then they took over. Now that my husband has retired, he does his own. So I only have to do my own. I make my own stain spray with dawn, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, it works great!
M.Clark says
July 2, 2015 at 12:06 AMI think Tide® HE Turbo Clean™ detergent is a definite must for HE washing machines. Thank you for sharing this review, I love the infographic and the funny video.
Christi E says
July 2, 2015 at 3:17 AMI swear, getting my front loader HE washer and dryer were the best things that ever happened to my laundry life! I almost cried happy tears, it helped so much! I DEFINITELY learned my lesson about only using HE detergents, and ultimately, just Tide, after a disaster with Dreft.
Stephanie Maberry says
July 2, 2015 at 4:28 AMI use Tide with Febreeze HE even though I have a normal machine. Everything is clean and smells fantastic!
I don’t mind the doing the washing part, however I can’t left up to dryer so my daughter does that part. Each load is her’s or mine so it’s pre-sorted. Folding and putting away is the part of chore that I dislike the most. I hang all shirts and bottoms, same with my daughter then we toss in dryer for few minutes to soften & remove any wrinkles.
I would love an HE washer and dryer, but it would be impossible to fit in my laundry room.
Cheryl says
July 2, 2015 at 5:10 AMAnything to make the laundry process faster is a definite plus.

Genora Brown says
July 3, 2015 at 9:36 AMI never used Tide before. I might try it.
Margaret Smith says
July 3, 2015 at 1:04 PMI grew up with my Mom using Tide. Now, with kids after trying to save money and using different brands, I’ve learned that Tide is the best. Even though it’s a little more expensive, I believe that in the long run, I’m saving money by using less Tide and also being able to get rid of all my family stains.
Cheryl Burns says
July 3, 2015 at 9:36 PMTide is my detergent, I have tried cheaper brands and was very disappointed and came back to Tide
Lynne says
July 3, 2015 at 10:55 PMMy laundry tip is to fold the basket of clothes as soon as you take it out of the dryer!
Nikki K says
July 4, 2015 at 9:57 AMI would LOVE to have an HE waher, but I’m still thankful for the one we got -I have to wash so really stinky stuff sometimes, lol
Kim Cowgar says
July 5, 2015 at 2:10 AMI don’t have many tips for laundry but I try to take care of any stains while they are still fresh or make sure to use some sort of stain stick if it’s gonna be a little bit before it’s really washed. Then I don’t have to waste time and water washing it again.
sheila ressel says
July 5, 2015 at 10:49 AMI wish I had an HE washing machine so I could cut down on time spent doing laundry. I try to do laundry once a week early in the morning so it’s done and over with.
