Here are a few tips to make doing the laundry a breeze.

Rub glycerine or methylated spirits on grass stains, leave for one hour and then wash as usual.
Old stains can also be banished by saturating with glycerine. Rinse well.
Long, smooth strokes get the ironing done faster.
Try ironing the difficult items first, leaving the easier ones for last. That way ironing is less of a drag.
To get rid of static electricity after tumble drying, run a metal coat hanger over the fabric and then give it a good shake.
To keep fish moths at bay, sprinkle Epsom salts on blankets before packing them away for the summer.
To remove black grease marks from clothing, rub liberally with margarine, then soak garment in warm soapy water.
To remove pen ink from the pocket of a favourite shirt, soak the affected area in either a little warm milk, or some antiseptic liquid like Dettol.
To prevent the sun from fading black clothes, hang clothes inside out to dry.
