fktmp47_042_0028Doing Laundry is less of a chore if you teach your family members to deliver their dirty clothes to the laundry room and sort their items into Darks/Lights/Whites. Three well marked baskets in that room should do the trick. Go one step further and color code using a white laundry basket, a pastel color  basket for lights and a navy blue or hunter green one for darks. Even if the baskets begin to overflow, that’s ok.The clothes are sorted and ready for the next step!

After counting your collection, pull out and donate those you no longer wear. Remember that someone else could really USE them… and you sure could use the additional closet space!

You may be very surprised with how much you collect in the basket instead of on end tables and dressers.
For those who are very disciplined about getting  clothing tags and pieces of lint to the trash… a closet wastebasket will simply save you time. Try it!
