The first time I did laundry in college, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I'll admit that I wasn't exactly the best at doing my laundry at home either, but at school there is no other option but to brave the laundry room in the basement of my dorm building. After finishing my freshman year of college, there are some words of wisdom in regards to laundry I would like to pass on to those who are about to embark on the college journey.
It's easy to drop dirty clothes everywhere and anywhere. Because dorm rooms are already so small, any loose piece of clothing will make your dorm room look much more messy. It is essential to invest in a hamper before college. If you are feeling especially organized, I have found that hampers with two compartments to separate lights and darks are very helpful in speeding up the laundry process.
First semester I definitely did not wash my sheets enough, mostly because it was a huge pain. However, I began to realize how dirty my sheets must be because my friends and I would hang out in my room all the time. This is where QuickZip comes in: sheets that zip on and off are infinitely easier to change than a normal fitted sheet and encouraged me to wash my sheets more often. Also, anytime you do a load of laundry throw in your pillowcases even if you don't want to wash all of your bedding.
I quickly learned that there is a limited supply of washers and dryers in college, especially on Sundays. Always stay ahead and try to do your laundry before you are down to your last t-shirt. It is not uncommon for machines to be unavailable right when you need to do a load of laundry the most.
Socks and underwear have a special way of disappearing in college. Whether I forgot a sock in a washer, dropped a pair of underwear in transit, or found a tank top behind my drawer the day I moved out, I realized having a solid undergarment collection is a must.
Again, due to the limited supply of washing machines, people are not exactly patient. More than once I came down to the laundry room just 5-10 minutes after the cycle had ended to find my wet clothes tossed on top of the dusty machine. It's always better to be early than late!
Hopefully these tips will help you have better luck with laundry in college than I did at first!

We reinvented the fitted sheet with a two-piece design that is quick to change, easy to fold, and won't pop off. Each Fitted Sheet includes a base and a zip sheet. Extra interchangeable 'add-on' zip sheets are available separately in a variety of colors & fabrics.
Each Fitted Sheet includes two parts: 1x Fitted Sheet Base + 1x Fitted Zip Sheet (split sizes include 2x)
Discover the easiest, most comfortable fitted sheet you’ll ever own. The QuickZip Fitted Sheet zips on and off in seconds, ending the struggle of lifting heavy mattresses or wrestling with stubborn corners. Goes on ONCE like a standard fitted sheet, and then changing sheets is refreshingly simple—just zip off the top and zip on a fresh one.
Our secure base features extra-wide elastic underneath for a snug, stay-put fit that won’t pop off, even on adjustable beds. It’s thoughtfully engineered for every kind of sleeper and every kind of bed, ensuring a smooth, tailored look and feel that lasts.
Available in both common and hard-to-find sizes, QuickZip comes in a variety of premium fabrics and colors to suit your style—whether you prefer crisp percale, luxe sateen, breezy ComfortCore or cozy flannel. And when it’s time to switch things up, simply zip on a new Zip Sheet - all colors and fabric are interchangeable within the size (sold separately). One base, endless comfort and possibilities—because great sleep starts with smarter design.
