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!
To end you work day, clear off your desk.
