Do you have a space in your home that is dedicated just to your laundry? Have you even noticed how much of a mess this room or area can be? You can get your laundry room organized and it is just going to take a bit of patience and perseverance to get your space organized so you can find everything and your task of doing the laundry goes much faster.
One of the first things you need to do when organizing your laundry room will be to take out everything that does belong. The broken cars, books, games and other items that get left around the house and some how make it into your laundry room. The seasonal items that are sometimes stored in your laundry should go to the attic. All the shoes, coats and umbrellas need to be stored in closets near the doors and not in your laundry.

A shelf that is just big enough going across that it will blend in with the top of the dryer washer, yet just wide enough so that a bottle of bleach or detergent will fit on it and still be out of your way. This could be a wire shelf that will let liquids drip through or any small wooden shelf that fits the area.
