Tips for Making Laundry Easier for the Elderly or Disabled
Laundry can be a daunting task for anyone, but it can be especially challenging for the elderly or disabled. Fortunately, there are a few tips that can make laundry day easier for those who may struggle with the task. First, consider using a laundry service that offers pick-up and delivery. This can save seniors and those with disabilities from the burden of lugging around heavy laundry baskets. Another tip is to invest in front-loading washing machines and dryers, which are easier to access and load. Additionally, using liquid detergent, fabric softener balls, and dryer sheets can make laundry less strenuous. Lastly, organizing a laundry room to be more accessible by moving laundry essentials to shelves or cabinets within reach could help reduce the strain on seniors or those with disabilities. By taking these simple steps, laundry day can become less of a chore and more of a breeze.
