HOW DO I STOP MY CLEAN CLOTHES PILING UP WHILE WAITING TO BE FOLDED/IRONED ?
Does it happen to you?
You take the time to separate the dark clothes from the whites before putting them to wash, you pre-spray all the stains, you take care so they do not get too wrinkly but when is time to fold/iron and sort them out and put them way it can get a bit overwhelming
So I have a few simple rules
1 After the washing machine finishes, remove the washing straight away from the machine.
2 Give a good shake ( if you have a tumble dryer just dry them for 5 minutes, unless is towels, then let them dry completely)
3 Fold and let them be (30 minutes). Do something else for a while.
4 Give a good shake again, hang them.
5 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE leave them on the hangers until you have the time or the energy to iron/fold or you need the space to put a new load of wash to dry,
REMOVE, FOLD, IRON, STORE THEM IN THE WARDROBE
This way you will avoid creating piles of clothes and a never-ending of socks to fold.
NOTE As you fold/ iron sort them straightway by person - remembering to put t-shirts on top of t-shirts, shirts with shirts and so on - so they can collect they own and put them away.
