Laundry SMARTcuts ™

Organizing ways to save time and energy on your laundry can give you back lots of business and family time.

By reader request, here are my systems in a nutshell.

I wash by the person not by the colors (as mom and grand mom did). Put a basket in floor of each person’s closet. Wash kid clothes, towel and bed linen in one weekly load. I do a separate load for Mom and Dad’s sheets plus towels. We have a special place for each person to hang wet towels (color coding is smart here) so we use 1 per week each.

At the age of 7, I work with my kids to teach them to do their laundry. By the 8th birthday the kids were responsible for doing their own laundry on their assigned day. You may want to try the new Purex one sheets for the kids’ use.

HI
You have an interesting way to sort out the laundry by person. Do you mix them together irrespective of the colors?
Just curious
Cheers
