Pre-sort your laundry as you throw dirty clothes in the hamper by using mesh laundry bags. Leave them propped open in your hamper so that you can quickly and easily toss the darks in one bag and whites in another with no extra effort. When it's time to do the laundry, zip the bags shut and toss the whole bag into the wash. Oh! Who knew laundry could be such a joy!!
If you get the whole family to use this system toss all the bags with darks in the laundry at the same time. Most machines will easily accomodate several bags. You can even get mesh bags in different colours, one for each member of the family. Then when you take them out of the dryer simply drop the red mesh bag in your daughter's room, and the blue one in your son's, and they can fold and put away their own laundry.
Socks have always been a nightmare for me because I always end up with singles. Dropping socks in a mesh bag at the end of the day and keeping them in the bag throughout the wash and the dry keeps them all together.
Mesh bags are available at most department and home stores and come in several different sizes to meet your needs. Just be sure they are not packed full or they will not wash or dry completely.
Placing a few of these mesh laundry bags in strategic places will take less than 60 seconds and will save you time and headaches later.
Love this idea? You can purchase mesh laundry bags at Amazon.com or most department stores and home stores. Here are some of the best choices:
