Organizing the Laundry Room

Keeping your Laundry Room Tidy

I’ve yet to meet anyone that actually likes to do the laundry, however it’s something that you have to do. By making sure your laundry room is kept tidy and organized it should make the job go much quicker. If you move things around it might take a long time to adjust, however after a little time it will soon become second nature. By speeding this up you will have more time to spend with your family.

If you regularly do laundry on certain days then get your family to sort through all of their washing. Instead of having just one washing basket get a few different ones, make sure everyone knows where to put what. You could even show them where you keep the stain stick so that they can treat the stains before anything is washed.

You need to make your laundry room more efficient, do this by storing everything you need close to hand. Keep all of the detergents next to the washing machine. You could build a shelf next to the washer if there isn’t already one there.

You must regularly clean the filters on your dryer, note this down on a calendar so that you know. You should also make sure your family knows what can be washed, show them how to tell if something can only be dry cleaned. One way of doing this is taking photographs of examples and sticking them to the wall.

After drying them try to hang everything straight up so that you don’t have to iron them later. Make sure you have lots of hangers available and somewhere to hang everything without it getting crumpled.

Sort your clothes after washing, put them into boxes if you don’t think you will be using them again. If your clothes are broken and you don’t think you will be able to repair it then discard it. There is no point hanging onto something that you will probably never use again. If your clothes are too small then you can put them into boxes until you know what you’re going to do with them.
