When not to do laundry? Laundry might seem like a straightforward chore, but many people get it wrong more often than they think!

What to Look Out For

When you opt for air drying, consider the role humidity plays—especially during summer in Utah when it goes above 70%. Leaving clothing in the humid air leads to mildew growing on fabrics and other unsightly residue. 

Similarly, doing laundry when it’s pouring outside hinders effective drying, even with a washing machine and dryer indoors. Check weather forecasts before booking a laundry service; choosing sunny days allows for optimal natural drying conditions.  

Awareness of peak energy demand times is important in managing energy costs. Prices peak from increased usage over the course of mid-afternoon to early evening—between 3 PM to 8 PM, leading up to 20% higher electricity bills if you choose to do laundry in the afternoon or at nighttime. That’s a lot!

Plan and target off-peak hours for an Optima Maids laundry job. If you switch your booking to earlier or later hours, you’re reducing costs while also benefiting from the prolonged service life of your appliances by not overworking them.

Book During Busy Weekends

After a busy workweek for the household, the thought of tackling a mountain of laundry can be daunting. Folks find weekends as the only time to recharge and catch up on tasks and activities they couldn’t dedicate time to during the week. Unfortunately, weekends as well as the holidays experience an overload in laundry activity. 

Booking a laundry wash-and-fold service during weekends and around the holidays simplifies the to-do list. Instead of spending hours on laundry, families can enjoy quality time together. And for those entertaining guests over the weekend, it guarantees fresh linens and towels without the hassle. What’s more, avoiding appliance use during weekends lowers electricity costs. For instance, to make Christmas or New Year’s Eve less stressful and to welcome New Year’s Day with fresh clothes, book a job ahead of time.

It’s also the best time to prepare for the week ahead, making weekday mornings less stressful. For instance, for a family with children in school or an adult with a busy work schedule, getting all the laundry needs met before Monday ensures everyone is prepared.

Eco-Friendly Laundry Work

The amount of clothes One fundamental way we make laundry more sustainable is by optimizing wash loads via full loads. We conserve water and energy while maximizing the efficiency of each wash with green detergent. After all, washing full loads can save more than 3,400 gallons of water annually! 

We also utilize eco-friendly, biodegradable detergents. Most detergents contain surfactants and other chemicals that can harm aquatic ecosystems after they enter our waterways. Studies have shown that eco-friendly detergents are just as effective at removing stains and odors on top of preserving color and integrity, while also reducing water pollution for communities throughout the states.
