Don't throw away those department store handle bags. Store them in your linen closet and use them to carry the various loads of wash to the laundry room and then put the clean clothes back in them to carry them to the areas in the house where the items are stored.
Janet, I think using the shopping bags to carry dirty clothes to your laundry room is a great idea. However, I don't think it's a sanitary idea to put your clean, washed clothes into the same bags to carry back to store them. In fact, I wouldn't want to use shopping bags for clean clothes even if they hadn't been used for carrying dirty clothes. A lot of times people add books they're reading, other items, etc. to their shopping bags. Thus, they wouldn't be clean. I'm going to start using the bags however to carry my laundry TO the laundry room. Thanks for the suggestion!
