There is a lot of unavoidable stress in your life so why not declutter and organise where you can? The laundry room is a good place to start. After all, it is mission control centre for tidy and clean homes. Here are a few useful laundry tips that will keep your laundry room orderly—and your mind clutter-free.
Clearly label a basket for darks and a bin for lights.Separating laundry into dark and light loads can be a hassle, so make your life, and the act of washing clothes, easier and have family members sort it themselves! Two clearly marked baskets in the laundry room will do the trick.
Set up a “lost sock basket.”There’s nothing more annoying than losing a sock, throwing out its pair and then finding the original sock months later. Be organised and pre-emptively handle the age-old lost sock dilemma by putting up a lost sock basket.
Start a laundry room piggy bank.When you turn pockets inside out and find loose change and bills, drop the bounty into your laundry room piggy bank. Aside from looking adorable, a piggy bank may prompt family members to check pockets before putting dirty clothes into the hamper.
Designate a basket, bin or shelf to each family member.Having a designated area for each family member makes sorting laundry after washday a breeze. Then they can be in charge of picking up and folding their own clean items to help ease your load.
