Organize Your Laundry Room - Continued

Now that you have the top of the dryer cleared off, what about the hangers, and the shelving where your hanging clothes go while you are putting all the clothes on hangers.  If you have hangers on the floor, in a basket or sitting on a counter, you need to make it a habit that who ever brings hangers in, put them on the rod where they belong.

When you are hanging clothes after drying them you can easily see the type of hanger that you need and can hang clothes faster.  You won’t have to grab a hanger and pull on it until the others let it loose from a big tangled mess when your hangers are always hung up.

Make your laundry chores simpler by having your children or others in the house take care of hanging their own hangers, taking their clothes from the rack once or twice a week. 

Keep your laundry room looking great and make it a welcoming work area when you keep all the rest of that stuff out of your laundry. If it is being stored for another season, put it in the attic.  If the curtains are washed and dried, have them hung up.  Don’t leave curtains or other clothing in your laundry room taking up space just hang them on a hanger, put a garbage bag over them and put them in storage in the attic or in the basement.

The laundry room that is on the first floor of the home is often a ‘catch all area’ that you can keep cleaned up by clearing it out.  If you have the room, a small cabinet where you can store all your extra laundry cleaning items is going to be a welcoming space for storage.  Sometimes when items are on sale we will buy more than we need and keeping it out of site is a big part of keeping your laundry looking organized and together.
