New Year's Day Laundry Superstitions

I've put together a list of three laundry New Year's Day superstitions to help you have a happy new laundry year. Following these suggestions won't get rid of laundry duty, but, hey, it can't hurt!

  • Don't do laundry on New Year's Day or a member of the family will be washed away (die) during the coming year.
  • Don't do laundry on New Year's Day or you will have more laundry than usual to do all year.
  • Wear something new on New Year's Day to increase the likelihood of more new clothes in the coming year.
