Maybe they say wash-a-teria in Lebanon, TN…See you Wed. or Thursday!

Dear Sister – it’s totally genetic, I believe. I have the tri-sorter, 2 tall baskets, 2-3 normal baskets, and I have a stack going on the floor in my bedroom now. (I’m sure they’re still clean!)

I sometimes think a bonfire is the best idea.

That is a genetic thought, too.

I love the Wash-A-Teria word…I say it whenever I get the chance and people don’t miss a beat before they say, “The what?!”

Thanks, Ladies, for airing your dirty laundry! Sorry my replies don’t match up with your comments…I just can’t seem to get the hang of this theme!

Good ideas, Kaylene! I especially like the towel basket idea. Mine are typically draped over tub, door, hook, etc. to dry out completely. (We take a LOT of showers.)

Actually, Star, this might be the way I should go. I would have to get used to the schedule idea though–which of course, might make me a WHOLE lot more productive!

At least the wicker makes at attempt to look better! I’m continuously amazed at where I stack clothing…

Rolling would be nice…but my laundry room is 2 floors down! My secret desire is a laundry chute. Maybe some day…

well, we store it in one of our closets (we have his and hers closets). They are small but we make it work. I have a large tall mesh basket for towels in my closet and in his closet we have baskets that are color-coded. Blue for colds, white for whites, etc. It stays out of a view and most things make it into the right basket (I had to train my husband on this a bit…)

No real tips here, but we just have a hamper in our room, and one in my daughter’s room. I sort when I wash. I’m kinda weird and like doing laundry, so this works for me. Check out some of the links on here, maybe they’ll help.

Hmmm, no fantastic ideas for you. We just use a boring old laundry basket that sits inside our clostet and I sort the clothes as I do laundry. I do the laundry every Mon, Wed, and Fri so it never gets too full or out of control. Sorry, I am not much help!
