Organize your laundry room
It is a breeze to clean up that messy laundry area, remove some of the clutter, and save loads of time.
* Clear out all of the clutter and remove everything but the machines and large furniture.
* Locate a good sorting area. If you do not have one, make one! Use light and dark pillowcases attached to the wall or side of a cabinet with a bracket. Use curtain clips to hold the pillowcase in place. The pillowcases are a smart sorting method when taking laundry to a laundry mat, too.
* Use up empty wall space over the machines. Install wire shelving. Install a bar for hanging clothes as they come out of the dryer.
* Store your necessities in attractive canisters and decorative jars.
* Place the ironing board off the floor. Hang it closer to your machines for convenience.
* Where you have extra space, place a wheeled cart between your machines (figure C) for added storage. To make your own, use four 1 x 6' pieces of lumber, cut to the length of your machines, some trip pieces, screws, wheels and a little paint. Screw the front and back panels to the bottom and middle shelves. Next, nail trip to the sides and around the top. Attach wheels and paint.
Voila! You have a new laundry room made to order!
Chaos and clutter is a circle, a maddening one!
Get Organized Business
Even the most organized person will occasionally have to return to unused or unseen items to remember they own them in the first place.
Because your busy lifestyle warrants continuous maintenance to keep an orderly environment, a key to being clutter-free is to put things away when you are done with them. If you are simply too tired or do not have adequate time to do anything in the evenings, then your daily routine is out of balance and you need to make adjustments. It is a gathering place, a special place. When your home is minus the clutter, you have the energy flow you desire.
