Erica's Laundry Blog

The school year has a way of sneaking up, doesn’t it? One week you’re juggling beach towels and sunscreen, and the next, you’re searching for clean uniforms and wondering when you last washed the kids’ bedding. Add in backpacks, sports gear, and the never-ending laundry pile—and suddenly, September feels heavier than summer ever did. But here’s the thing: laundry doesn’t have to be another stressor in your back-to-school routine. A fall laundry reset is the perfect way to clear out the summer mess and start fresh—with clean clothes, fresh bedding, and more time for what really matters.

There’s something about a new school year that makes us want to get our lives in order. Fresh schedules. New routines. Color-coded calendars (if we’re feeling ambitious). But for all the structure we try to build, the everyday stuff still adds up. Early alarms. After-school chaos. Piles of laundry that grow faster than we can fold. That’s why this time of year is the perfect moment to rethink what’s working—and what’s just wearing you out.

Camping’s a blast. Unpacking? Not so much. You come home sun-kissed and satisfied after a weekend in the woods… and then it hits you. The pile. Sleeping bags, musty blankets, smoke-scented clothes, and towels full of sand. Everything smells like a campfire and looks like it rolled through the dirt—because it probably did. We’ve been there. That’s why this month, we’re helping you take the mess out of your next camping trip—so the only thing you’ll have to remember is how good the s’mores were.
