Trash Cans for Sorting Clothing

To make laundry sorting easier and faster I have a blue 10 gallon trash can for blue jeans, a white one for whites, and a green one for everything else. It wasn't hard training my children to use them either (even the 17 year old!).

Organizing Dirty Laundry

My sorting of dirty laundry begins with the hamper I toss it into. I have a separate white circular hamper for white mostly cotton clothes. As for the others, I separate permanent press andhang-up clothes from folded clothes, such as colored tee shirts and underwear. Towels and washcloths are also washed by themselves. It is best to launder delicate lingerie, such as, bras, girdles, and fancy nightgowns together, perhaps in a mesh bag, so the hooks don't get stuck to anything.
