I have labeled baskets for my three kids and they get their laundry done on certain days 🙂 it helps!!

I’m excited to try this. It can’t be worse then my current system which involves piles of laundry on my couch waiting to be folded at any given time. I have 3 kids as well. I plan to try a laundry basket per bedroom. (2 boys) (1 girl) (me and my husband). I never thought how it makes the sorting and putting away more efficient. I see this working. I’m excited.

Each of the kids have a laundry hamper in their room.
Come Friday afternoon or Saturday morning they take turns to put their own load through the machine and then hang it out to dry. Then when dry they bring them in and put it away.
During summer everything is hung outside. In winter they go onto the clothes stands and get moved outside when it’s dry.
Kids are between 6&10 and have been doing their own laundry for a year now.
Sometimes they help each other out. Other times I’ll jump in and run the clothes through or hang them out. We still do it child by child.

I, too, am a laundry slave. I’ve been brainstorming lately how to get out from under all this ridiculous laundry. Thanks for more inspiration. 🙂 I want to do something like this for sure.

Something I do to help with the socks and underwear:
Everyone in the house has 2 large lingerie bags with their names on them. One bag is for underwear and the other is for socks. Dirty goes in proper bag, and on laundry day, they get thrown in the washer in the bag, and in the dryer in the bag. It completely eliminates sorting socks and sorting underwear. When they are clean & dry, they dump them in the proper drawer in their dresser and the cycle starts again. I’ve even considered getting a third for each child for their soccer uniforms. Plus, the case of the missing socks never seems to happen anymore!

Every one has their own type of sports
socks and only that kind…the little on has hanes brand, my husband has hanes too but his are much bigger and the oldest boy has a different brand. This way I don’t have to figure out if the sock has a match because they ALL match! (We are a rough and tumble kind of boy house they each only have e1 pair of dress socks) If they need new socks, ALL of the old ones get tossed and we start anew. My socks are the exception as I have different colours and lengths but since I do the work I deserve the fun.
