Laundry
Ideas
By
Jennifer
Dean
I was doing
laundry the
other day
and my Mom
gave me a
new laundry
lesson. (We
never stop
learning do
we?) She has
already
taught me to
hang up my
clothes in
sections in
the closet.
This saves
on time as I
pull out
clothes to
wear and
certainly
helps me see
at a glance
which
clothes I
have and
what I could
get rid of.
I hang all
my blouses
and T-shirts
in one spot.
Next would
skirts, then
matching
sets (skirt
and blouse),
dresses, and
nightgowns.
This
sections
change
depending on
what season
it is but
you get the
idea.
My Mom has a
laundry area
in the
garage.
There are 3
baskets for
dirty
clothes. One
basket is
for whites,
another for
colors, and
the last for
darks. These
baskets sit
under a 6
ft. table
that can be
used to fold
all the
clothes as
they come
out of the
dryer. After
clothes are
done in the
dryer she
can throw
clothes that
need folded
on the table
and hanging
clothes are
hung on the
spot and
placed on a
garment
hanger. The
new lesson
for me was
to place all
the clothes
on the
garment
hanger in
the laundry
room in
order too!
Place all
the clothes
for Mom in
one spot in
order-skirts,
blouses,
etc. all the
clothes for
Dad in order
next to
hers, then
lastly all
my clothes.
That way
when the
clothes are
taken
upstairs to
put in the
closets I
don’t have
to sort them
for each
person, it’s
already
done! I
thought that
was a nifty
tip. It may
sound like a
lot of
trouble but
once you
organize
your closet
this way it
can be
forever done
if you keep
it up. I
have been in
a hurry and
hung all my
clothes in
the closet
in one
bunch. Later
I end up
putting it
back in
order
because I’m
used to it
that way and
I like it
better.
