10 Laundry Hacks Every Busy Penrith Local Should Know

Between early commutes, school drop-offs, and juggling life on the go, laundry can quickly become the chore that piles up—literally. If you’re a Penrith tradie heading out before sunrise, a parent doing the school run, or a busy professional trying to squeeze the most out of your day, these 10 laundry hacks will help you stay on top of the washing without breaking a sweat.

1. Sort as You Go Set up separate baskets for lights, darks, and towels right in your laundry area or even in your bedroom. This way, when it’s time to wash, you’re ready to roll. Less sorting = faster washing.

2. Use Mesh Bags for Small Items Tired of missing socks and tangled bras? Mesh bags are your new best friend. Throw all your delicates and small bits in one and save yourself the hunt later.

3. Wash in Bulk at Busy Bubbles Our state-of-the-art Dexter machines at Penrith can handle up to 27kg loads—that’s a week’s worth of laundry done in under an hour. Big family? Muddy work gear? No worries.

4. Time Your Loads Right Pop into our 24/7 Penrith location during off-peak hours (think late evenings or early mornings) and zip through your washing without waiting. It’s perfect for night owls or early risers.

5. Dry Smarter, Not Longer Shake out each item before tossing it into the dryer. It helps clothes dry faster and with fewer wrinkles. Bonus: less ironing later.

6. Use a Timer Chuck on a timer when you start your load. Whether you’re ducking into the shops or catching up on emails, it’ll save you forgetting and re-washing a musty load. We’ve all been there!

7. Treat Stains ASAP Keep a stain remover spray in your car or laundry bag. Whether it’s tradie grease or playground dirt, the faster you tackle stains, the easier they come out.

8. Fold Straight Away (or Drop Off Instead) Folding straight out of the dryer means fewer wrinkles and no “laundry chair” situation. Too time-poor? Use our Wallacia Post Office drop-off or call us for pick-up & delivery on (02) 4731 3336, or you can download the CleanCloud App and book online. Easy as!

9. Make Laundry a Weekly Routine Choose one regular wash day that suits your schedule—like Sunday night or Wednesday morning. Pop down to Kingswood during our staffed hours (Mon-Fri, 10am–2pm) and let us help you out.

10. Keep a Laundry Bag in the Car Especially handy for tradies and sports families. Toss in those muddy footy kits or sweaty gear straight away and keep your car fresh while keeping home mess-free.

Laundry doesn’t have to be a never-ending chore. With the right hacks and a bit of help from Busy Bubbles Laundrette, you can spend less time stressing over washing and more time doing what you love.
