laundry hamper let's look at it a different way01/26/2006 We have been trying to organize our household routine so that we have more time on weekends to have fun rather than clean and do laundry. My children are good at following through on chores that are assigned to them. They are also learning to do their own laundry. One of the things that I am going to remove from each bedroom is the laundry hamper. Go ahead and relax and try to take in every word I'm about to tell you. I have found that the laundry hamper is more work to use and takes up space in the rooms. I realized one day when I was washing the family’s clothes that the laundry hamper was adding to the time I was spending. As I went into each room I needed to dig in the laundry hamper to remove the clothing. I then needed to transfer the clothing into a laundry basket to carry it to the laundry room. Over time the closed laundry Hamper can get a musty smell. I decided that it would be much more efficient to keep a laundry basket in the bottom of everyone’s closet. This way I could just grab the basket and go, I would not be digging clothes out of the smelly hampers for all that. I went to the store to purchase additional wash baskets. The large plastic baskets come in a variety of colors. I bought a different color for each of my children. This way when the laundry is completed I can separate the children’s clothes into their basket while folding. This system is working very well. I do help my youngest put her clothes away otherwise I found that she would throw her dirty clothes on top of the clean ones in the basket. By eliminating the laundry hamper I have a more useful system and the baskets do not take up any more space than the hampers did in particular. We still have a laundry hamper in the bathroom for towels. I still have not decided the best way to deal with this. I do not want an open wash basket sitting in the bathrooms, but I do not like having to dig through damp towels to transfer them from hamper to basket. I will have to check with the bed and bath store. It seems that they have so many things to help organize the home as i have said. We are now rotating the trips to the grocery store to include one child at a time. This helps the children learn how to grocery shop and it also helps to have another person to help gather items as well as bag and carry. This is another time saver in completing routine items around the house in the beginning. Thanks for finding my site and reading my article.
