Though Laundry Buddy doesn't help with stains, the Stain Remover skill does. The skill has instructions for how to remove dozens of the most common stains, including wax, coffee and grass stains. To use the skill, say something like, "Alexa, ask Stain Remover how to remove coffee stains."
4. Check for open washers and dryers
If you live in a dorm, some universities offer Alexa skills that you can use to monitor the availability of open washers and dryers in the laundry room. Some of these skills include Illinois Laundry Checker, Laundry Check and Terp Laundry.
A quick search for "laundry" and your university's name in the skill search box should come up with the skill for your dorm if available.
5. Skip the sniff test
Can't remember the last time you washed your sheets or your favorite hoodie? Just have Alexa remember for you using the Laundry Mate skill.
When you wash something, say, "Alexa, tell Laundry Mate I washed my [bedding/or other item] today." When you need a reminder ask, "Alexa, when was the last time I washed my (item)."
Consult these guides if you want to know how often you should wash your sheets or clean your bathroom.
