Organizing your Laundry Room
Your laundry room is often the place that contains the most clutter. It has become a room that everyone will just gather and throw their clothes into. The mess often seems uncontrollable. Below are some tips to help you get your laundry room under control.
Utilize Space
Laundry rooms are often small and never have enough storage. The key to maximizing your space is to think up. Use the wall space and space behind the door to add shelving and storage cubbies. You can personalize each cubby to hold every family members clothing and provide the needed organization when doing loads of laundry.
Teaching the Family
Doing laundry on your own is a daunting task to tackle. Having your kids help you with this daily chore will help ease some of your stress. If everyone in the family is responsible for his or her own clothes you can make sure all the laundry in the house is clean and sorted as it needs to be. Teaching your children the right way to do laundry from the beginning will help them from any unfortunate laundry mishaps they may have as adults.
Seasonal Clothing
The amount of clothing sitting in your laundry room may be largely due to the fact that you haven’t sorted through your out of season clothing yet. By storing out of season clothing in a storage unit at Elite Storage in Lafayette, you can free up a lot more storage and closet space. You will also have a substantial amount less clothes to have to wash or store in your laundry room.
Set up a Schedule
Doing laundry every day is not a chore that one wants to do. This will always result in a loss of motivation and the clothes will pile up and get out of control once again. By picking days of the week to do your laundry you can stay on top of the ever growing clothing piles and not get unmotivated in the process.
Sorting Hampers
Investing in a sorting hamper will save you a lot of trouble in the long run. These large hampers come with separate compartments that allow you to sort your laundry as you toss them into the hamper. This way you won’t have to dig through piles of dirty clothes to make sure you gathered all of your whites.
