5 Pro Tips for Creating Effective Family ORGANIZATIONAL Solutions!

Keeping your laundry room organized can make laundry a breeze. Here are five tips to create a functional and inviting space:

1. Utilize Vertical Space: Wall space is typically under-utilized in laundry spaces, and can be a HUGE organizational tool! Hanging drying racks, open (or closed) shelving with baskets sorted by function.

    

   My favs:

   1.  STAIN removal basket

   2.  Laundry treatment basket (laundry detergent, OXI Clean, Borax)

   3.  Cleaning supplies basket (my FAVS are Malaleuca products! Eco Friendly, Family Friendly, and nontoxic effective magic!)4. Rags/cleaning towels, etc. Install shelves above your washer and dryer for storing detergent, fabric softener, and other laundry essentials. You can also hang a drying rack or a rod for air-drying clothes. Use hooks to hang laundry bags, ironing boards, or other tools to integrate and use vertical spaces effectively!
2. Get creative with storage solutions! It reduces cognitive load and increases effectiveness and ease of use when items are sorted in baskets (ideally labelled with words and/or pictures to support EVERYONE in the family utilizing the organizational systems!) 
   1. Use baskets or bins to sort laundry by color or type.
   2. Clear jars or containers can be used to store laundry pods, clothespins, or other small items.
   3. A rolling cart can be handy for transporting laundry or storing cleaning supplies.
3. Maximize Counter Space! If you have front-loading machines, add a countertop over them for folding clothes. A small folding table can also be useful.  Keep the counter clear of clutter by storing items in baskets or drawers underneath.
4. Label EVERYTHING! Label baskets, bins, and containers so everyone knows where to put things.  Use chalkboard labels or a label maker for a clean and organized look.
5. Regular Cleaning Schedule (takes 5 minutes or less when doing this regularly!).  Wipe down surfaces regularly to prevent dust buildup.   Empty the lint trap after every load to prevent fires.  Sweep and mop the floor to keep it clean.
