Why we do laundry When our hamper gets full of dirty clothes, it’s time to do laundry!
Our clothes get dirty after we wear them to do different activities, like:
Go to school
Play outside
Go shopping
Visit family
After we take off dirty clothes, we put them in the hamper until it’s time to wash them.
We may wash our clothes once or twice a week, and when it’s time, we will take the hamper to the washing machine.
Some of the items we need to do laundry include:
Dirty clothes
Laundry detergent
Washing machine
Drying machine
We put the clothes and laundry detergent in the washing machine to clean them.
Once they are done washing, we transfer the wet clothes to the dryer so they can dry in the machine.
It’s important that I never try to get in the washing or drying machine since that isn’t safe and it can also break the machines.
After our clothes are clean and dry, we take them back to our room to put them away.
We can:
Fold clean clothes for our drawers.
Hang clean clothes in our closet.
Wearing clean clothes keeps me smelling fresh each day!
