Because clean clothes shouldn’t come at the cost of your sanity.

If you’re a parent in Melbourne, you already know: laundry is never-ending. From food stains on school uniforms to mystery marks on baby onesies, it feels like you’ve barely folded the last load when the basket’s full again.

At No More Laundry, we’ve worked with hundreds of families just like yours — and we’ve picked up a few tips along the way. Whether you’re doing it yourself or letting us do it for you, here are some smart laundry hacks every Melbourne parent needs to know.

1. 🎽 Pre-Treat Stains. Immediately (Yes, even if it’s 10pm)

Time is the enemy of stain removal. The longer a stain sets, the harder it is to lift — especially on school polos or cotton blends.

Quick fix: Keep a spray bottle of diluted stain remover or white vinegar near your laundry basket. Give stains a quick spritz before they sit for days.

Bonus tip: Oxygen bleach works wonders on baby food, mud, and grass stains — and it’s safe on colours.

2. 🧦 Use Mesh Bags for Socks & Baby Items

If the dryer eats your socks (or your bub’s tiny mittens), it’s time to invest in mesh laundry bags. Just toss all small items in, zip it up, and say goodbye to the missing sock mystery.

3. 🧺 Don’t Overload Your Washing Machine

We get it — you’re trying to get through as many loads as possible in one go. But cramming too much actually makes clothes dirtier and shortens your machine’s life.

Golden rule: Leave about a hand’s width of space at the top of your washer drum.

4. 🫧 Ditch Fabric Softener (and Use Rinse & Refresh Instead)

Fabric softeners might smell nice, but they leave residue on clothes and can irritate sensitive skin (especially in young children).

At No More Laundry, we use a gentle fabric rinse & refresh that softens naturally and helps clothes dry faster — no harsh chemicals or build-up.

5. ⏳ Outsource the Chore (and Reclaim Your Time)

Here’s the truth: laundry doesn’t have to be your responsibility. More Melbourne parents are discovering the joy of handing it over to a trusted service like No More Laundry.

At No More Laundry we pick up from your doorstep, wash, dry, fold, and deliver back the next day — all packed neatly in a waterproof bag. No more late-night folding. No more laundry pile guilt.
