Laundry System

My biggest downfall when it comes to domestic work is the laundry. I can not get organized. I wash, or (sometimes left in the dryer). I have baskets of clean clothes lying around. I lose socks, as there is no tomorrow. What is the system works for you?

I have an obstacle in the room of my son, my daughter's room, our bedroom and bathroom. I also put a bag of underwear (you can get them at Wal-Mart for $ 0.94) for each basket, so as socks, laces, and everything can get "lost" can be put in there . I spent two evenings a week later to do the laundry and I make a commitment to do this evening. Each member of the family has its own laundry basket with their name on it. "Towels" also have their own basket. Their clothes are separated and placed in their own baskets. When I am completely done with clothes for the night, then I put their clothes. My husband and I share duties. It places our clothes and towels, I put away the clothes of the boy.

Hope this helps!

welll ... my washing machine uses so much water and the engine was blown dry and smellls like grass burns every time we turn it on ..... if our system is callled the laundry mat ... alll do it and you can not get distracted.

We use laundry baskests specific. It is a sysytem color. I "created" her during my time living alone. Who sorts the clothes and each basketload (equivalent to a wash load) just goes into the washer. Much love doing laundry!

The towels are washed every 5-6 weeks (we have lots of towels), but they are completely dry after use before going into washing baskets. The leaves are generally washed once they are removed from the bed.

As soon as the dryer goes off, the clothes are removed, folded and put them away immediately. Carts must be free of clean clothes to take the clothes for next time.

Things that need ironing are dried on hangers in the bathroom. As each item is ironed it on a hanger and goes directly into the closet. This is not a complicated system and does not take much time or effort to implement.

Although we do not use them for socks, try the mesh bags for delicates for your socks. This should minimize the loss of socks. You can use these net bags for small items that could "eat" by the washer or dryer. Hope this helps solve your problem!

I totally hear you! Once our daughter is coming along it deteriorated, so what I do is a load a day. The day before I put a load in the washer with soap, etc. .. then I started running. This morning, I go down first thing and turn it on. When I get my daughter and we have breakfast, the washer is finished and I transfer to the dryer. Once finished, I folded clothes and immediately put away. If I stand by that, I find myself hunting for laundry to do every day. Once we have another child, I may have to drive so hard! lol I can not really say that the system ... This is part of flylady. Good luck!
