Now that’s a real big deal- your maid is away and you have to wash all your sweat pants, dirty tees and your kid’s damp diapers! Follow a few tips; know how to organize your laundry room. Laundry baskets: Ask your family members to bring their laundry baskets to the laundry room. Toss items that need dry cleaning into a special basket or bag. Use separate hampers for whites, darks, jeans, and delicates.

Cleaning supplies: Keep the cleaning supplies separately.

Lost and found: Keep a small bowl in the laundry room for “found” items such as money, socks, receipts, and buttons.

Utilize the vertical space: Install a bar on the wall for hanging clothes straight from the dryer, such as shirts and slacks.

Clean the room: Don’t forget to clean the laundry room after you finish washing.
