admin The Laundry room can be difficult to keep organized. It can easily become a dumping zone for other items that don’t seem to have a home. It is difficult also because of the nature of the room. Remember that just because it is the laundry room, it does not necessarily have to be boring and uninviting.
1. Streamline your laundry room
What do you want from your laundry room? What is the purpose? Definitely in the laundry room you want items that pertain to washing of clothes, ironing of clothes and also caring of your clothes. Therefore the laundry room is the space where you should keep:
- Laundry detergent and other essential items ;
- Stain removals;
- Stain removal chart,
- Iron and ironing board;
- Sewing kit;
- Container for change found in pockets.
2. Drying your laundry
If you don’t have a dryer, then drying your clothes during winter can be a daunting. The only option if it is raining is to dry your clothes inside, so make sure you have a horse large enough to hold as much clothes at one go as possible.
A bath towel rod, can add additional hanging space for those rainy days.
3. The Stain chart
Ideally you should know how to remove a stain before it set permanently into the fabric. There are many kind of stains, and each one can be removed differently and it is difficult to memorize all of them. It is advisable to find one online, print it and attach it in your laundry room. I find that the Martha Stewart stain removal basics covers everything.
4.Laundry Closet
I find that having some type of closet in the laundry room, keeps it tidy and organized. It is ideally for keeping those coins or lost socks. It comes handy even to store some extra dust cloths.
5. Laundry baskets
It is important to have the right laundry baskets to carry your clean clothes that just came out from the washing machine or the dryer. You can have a laundry basket for each family member, so you put folded clothes in it and they can put them away themselves.
