Help For Your Laundry Room
I found containers at K-Mart that fit between your washer and dryer
or between the wall and either unit. Slim and clean looking, they
will help keep things organized. Use them for those single socks
that have lost their mates. Then, every week or two, take about five
minutes to match up the pairs you thought were lost forever. It DOES
work most of the time! Use the other drawer for laundry soaps and/or
other laundry needs, however I use mine for a trash can. It's right
near me, doesn't show and is very neat.
Also, if you have shelves that go all the way to the floor (you
need this for shorter children), get some baskets, or buckets, like
the ones that go on sale for a dollar at drug stores or K-Mart. Put
one on each shelf and label each with a family member's name. If
you fold your laundry in the same room, this is a great organizer!
Fold everyone's clean wash but leave their socks in the baskets.
Even a three year old can take his basket and dump the contents in
his drawer. And, if you know who's socks are NOT coming out in pairs,
put the unmatched socks in the owner's basket. For your little ones,
keep the mismatched socks in the slim drawer until YOU find the match.
With younger children, you may never see those socks again if you
don't.
Now go plan the time to map out what you need for "your" laundry
room and simplify!
