Welcoming Spring: How Fresh Laundry Uplifts Your Home’s Vibe

Spring is more than just a season; it’s a promise of new beginnings and brighter days. As nature awakens, it invites us to rejuvenate our indoor spaces. At Anthony’s Laundry, we believe that fresh laundry uplifts and can significantly enhance the vibe of your home, making it feel more inviting and alive.

The Psychological Impact of Fresh Laundry

There’s a unique joy in slipping into freshly laundered sheets or wearing a clean, fragrant shirt. The sensory experience of fresh laundry—its soothing scents and soft touch—plays a significant role in our well-being. Studies have shown that clean environments can boost our mood and mental health, proving that a pile of fresh laundry can do more for you than just keep you looking sharp.

Fresh Laundry: A Sensory Experience

Laundry may be a sensory experience, but most of us do not do our laundry with the intentionality of a sensory practice. Shifting your intentions can change whether or not it is a sensory experience. Also, applying some of our practical tips, including using scented detergents or softeners, deep breathing, identifying plus textures, and having gratitude.

Spring Cleaning and Laundry: A Perfect Pair

Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition that goes hand in hand with refreshing your laundry. As you declutter and clean your space, don’t overlook your wardrobe and linen closet. Use this opportunity to sort through your items, setting aside those that need special attention from Anthony’s Laundry. Plus, our tips for decluttering will not only clear your space but also your mind, and possibly your nose!

Practical Decluttering Tips

If your laundry room, linen cabinet, and closet make you shutter, you are not alone. Including these places in your spring cleaning is critical to an entire home clean-up. Start with one area. Doing all rooms at once is a recipe for being overwhelmed. No matter what you are decluttering, some of our tips are: 

  • Get rid of things you do not use
  • Have a donation basket
  • Evaluate how it makes you feel

If the laundry detergent gives you a headache or the dress has not fit in years, it is probably time to let them go. 

Allergies can be affected by dirty homes and closets. Dust mites, mold, pollen, animal dander, plus fur are all common allergens that settle in our homes and on our clothes. Wearing our allergens on our clothes all day and night can escalate allergies. Cleaning your laundry professionally in top-of-the-line machines may improve allergies and your quality of life!

Enhancing Home Decor with Fresh Linens

The change of seasons is the perfect time to revitalize your home decor. Swapping out heavy winter drapes and bedding for lighter, fresh linens can instantly brighten a room. To add a touch of spring, try incorporating natural laundry scents like lavender or citrus to your fabrics. Fresh laundry uplifts you, but laundry that smells good will help keep the winter blues away.

Uplift your Home with Spring Style Changes

Spring colors, such as pastels and vibrant colors, can be the perfect seasonal change for your home. While most of us are unwilling to paint our living room baby pink, throw pillows and blankets (or even blanket covers) can be the perfect change. Fresh flowers can also be a perfect accent to your new decor. Regular deliveries from a local florist are also an option to help remove the hassle of coordinating pickups. To enhance the spring vibe, choose tulips, daises, or peonies, along with colors such as pink, yellow, and blue. If you want to add the floral smell directly to your laundry, not just your rooms, consider adding essential oils. A few drops of essential oils directly into your laundry detergent in the washer can naturally add a fresh smell. 

Spring into the new season. Let Anthony’s Laundry take the hassle out of your spring cleaning so you can focus on what truly matters.

Dinner table set with festive holiday decor that is silver, gray, and white. There are candles, Christmas tree decorations, and silverware on the table.

Holiday Hosting Tips and Our Favorite Holiday Linens

Holidays bring many families together, and making them memorable is something every host hopes to do. Cozy winter days are full of eggnog, roaring fires, holiday cocktails, traditional family favorite dishes, and cheery decorations. Including these can create a gathering for the books. The details, of course, matter, but the dining table is the background for all the festive events. For holiday hosting made easy, check out our tips below. 

Choosing the Best Linens for Your Holiday Table

  • Choose holiday linens 8-12 inches longer than the table on all sides to create a polished look. 
  • Make sure the shape is correct for your table.
  • Make sure it is the right color and fabric blend for your occasion. 

Maintaining the Beauty of Your Holiday Linens

To maintain the quality of your linens, have them expertly washed by our team at Anthony’s. When in use, if stained, clean them quickly and store them folded in a dark, dry area. Learning how to avoid ironing can help cut down on time while keeping your linens beautiful. 

Tips for choosing the proper table settings and decorations: 

  • Layer Linens: Experiment with different tablecloths and table runners.
  • Multiple Coordinating Colors: Try using colors such as white and ivory for a classic look or holiday colors such as red, green, and gold for a dramatic and cheery effect. 
  • Centerpiece: Go for a more natural look and have evergreen plants and red berries from plants such as Holly. Or have figurines such as reindeer, Santas, and elves. 
  • Fabric: Linen is perfect for more formal events. Cotton is versatile and can be used for all occasions. Synthetic blends can help cut out ironing time if you are in a crunch. 
  • Napkins: Experiment with folding your napkins in a classic or intricate design. No matter what direction you go, clean and crisp are key.

Woman packing for vacation.

With services from Anthony’s Laundromat, you can make the packing process more convenient. Let’s explore the essentials of what to pack for your next vacation and how Anthony’s Laundromat can help.

The Essentials: What to Pack for Your Next Vacation

When packing for vacation, bringing the right items is essential to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Before we dive into how Anthony’s Laundromat can help with packing for vacation, let’s first talk about what to pack. Here are some essential items to consider bringing on your next vacation.

  1. Clothing: When it comes to packing clothing for vacation, it’s important to pack smart. This means thinking about the climate and activities you’ll be participating in. If you’re traveling to a warm destination, pack lightweight, breathable clothing like cotton t-shirts, shorts, and sundresses. Pack layers like sweaters, jackets, and scarves if you’re heading to a cooler climate. Additionally, consider the activities you’ll be doing and pack appropriate clothing. If you’re planning on hiking, pack sturdy shoes and activewear. If you’re attending a formal event, pack dressier clothing like a suit or cocktail dress.
  2. Toiletries: Pack essential toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner. Packaging sunscreen and bug spray are also good if you are planning on spending time outdoors. If you wear contact lenses or glasses, remember to pack an extra pair.
  3. Electronics: Traveling with little ones, electronics are a must-have for most travelers. Be sure to bring chargers and necessary cords for your phone, tablet, or laptop. Purchasing a portable charger is also a good idea if you’re out and about and need to recharge.
  4. Medications: If you take any prescription medications, make sure to pack a few extra days in case a road bump comes up in your travels so you aren’t stranded. It’s also good to get over-the-counter medications like pain relievers and allergy medicine, just in case.
  5. Travel documents: Pack essential documents like your passport, driver’s license, boarding pass, and other necessary paperwork. It’s a good idea to keep these documents in a safe, easily accessible place, like a travel wallet or pouch.

By packing these essentials and considering the climate and activities you’ll participate in, you can travel more comfortably and efficiently. Packing for vacation is like trying to solve a puzzle but with clothes instead of pieces. Just remember to bring the essentials, and don’t forget to leave a little extra space for the unexpected.

The Convenience of Anthony’s Laundromat

Packing for vacation doesn’t have to be stressful. By considering the essential items to utilize and services like Anthony’s Laundromat, you can make the process easier and more convenient! 

Anthony’s Laundromat offers a Wash and Fold service, which can make doing laundry before and after vacation much easier.

This can be especially helpful if you need more time or want to spend less time unpacking and doing laundry.

  2. Bathroom: Tackle the shower, tub, and toilet using a cleaning solution and scrub brush to remove any built-up grime. Wipe down the sink and countertops, and clean the mirror. Mop or sweep the floor, and replace any dirty towels.
  3. Bedroom: Begin by decluttering your closet, getting rid of clothes that no longer fit or are out of style. Vacuum or sweep the floor, dust the furniture, and wash the bed linens. Don’t forget to clean the windows and blinds.
  4. Living room: Dust the bookshelves, TV, and other electronics. Vacuum the carpets and upholstery, and sweep or mop the floor. Declutter the coffee table and other surfaces, and wash any throw pillows or blankets.

  5. Dry your clothes: Choose a dryer that’s the right size for your load and set the temperature and time. Don’t overload the dryer, as this can damage your clothes and make them take longer to dry.
  6. Fold and pack: Once your clothes are dry, fold and pack them into your laundry basket or bags. Be sure to check your surroundings to make sure you haven’t left any items behind.

Don’t have time? Bring your clothes to us, and we’ll take care of it all with our wash and fold service!

Tips On What to Keep & What to Donate

We get it, you’ve bought and accumulated many pieces of clothing over the years, and it’s time to make room and create order in your life once again. A great way to not feel guilty about tossing your old band t-shirts and boyfriend jeans goodbye are by donating them! Believe it or not, donating old clothes is terrific for the environment. Did you know that 20 billion tons of clothes end up in landfills each year? Even worse, these items create greenhouse gases while breaking down, further negatively impacting our environment. By donating your clothes, you are helping people in need and keeping tons of clothing out of landfills! If having a positive impact on the environment isn’t your top priority, we’ve got something you for! One of the significant reasons to consider cleaning out your closet is to enjoy a stress-free life. The majority of people feel overwhelmed and unhappy with cluttered and disorganized closets. That’s why removing the clothes you no longer need can benefit your mental health. 

It’s a new year! Let us help you start it off right. We have tips on going through your closet and drawers and what to keep and donate!

Tips on Going Through Your Closet & Drawers

It’s time to get rid of the clutter for good! You’ve decided to get it done so you can enjoy the rest of the new year with an organized closet and drawers. While many people might choose to keep this off until spring cleaning, making donation piles doesn’t have to be an unnerving project. We’ve gathered some tips and tricks below to make your life as easy as possible.

Our step-by-step guide to a happier you:

  1. Schedule a time.
  2. Put all your clothes into a big pile and go through each piece by asking yourself a series of questions.
    • Do I love it? Do I wear it? Does it fit? Is it comfortable, and does it portray the image I want to project? Be honest when answering these questions, and think of how much joy these items bring you. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t worn the item in the past 12 months, get rid of it!
  3. Start a donation and a keep pile, then go through your keep pile again. 
  4. Toss what you don’t need.
    • This includes items that are torn, worn out, or have broken zippers.

How often should you do a closet cleanout?

Cleaning out your closet once per year will keep the buildup of new clothes at bay. However, the timeline is entirely up to you. Monthly, bi-annually or even once every few years will make a tremendous difference. Once your closet and drawers are organized in their designated place, keeping them clean will be easier as you move through your daily life. 

Items you should consider keeping:

  • Items with sentimental value – you may regret throwing out your lettermen’s jacket.
  • Clothing items with high monetary value.
  • Winter blankets, bedding, and comforters.
  • Holiday-themed clothing that’s still in good condition.

It’s Time to Wear Your Favorite Clothes

So, you’ve done the dirty work and got your donation pile ready. Now it’s time to wear the clothes you’re proud of and feel comfortable in! At the end of the day, what you decide to keep, donate or toss is personal and up to you. And if worst comes to worst, you can always rent a small storage unit for your sentimental and high-value items.

What better way to wear your favorite clothes than by cleaning them first? At Anthony’s Laundry, we offer professional & self-serve laundry services to serve you throughout 2023. We’re open to supporting your family during this time, and our team is working around the clock to ensure our facility is clean, sanitized, and safe for you to visit.
