Laundry Room Organization Tips

We can all admit it - everyone loves fresh clean clothes, but the steps to get there maybe aren’t the...most exciting. Laundry day is already a day full of chores and tasks, so why make it harder on yourself by having a disorganized laundry room where you can’t find anything? While we might not be able to make your clothes get washed faster, we do have some tips here to help keep your laundry room clean and organized! Trust us - it’ll help! Keep Everything Labeled When it comes to laundry, there’s a lot of supplies that go into it - soaps, fabric softeners, baskets for clothing, and so on. Especially if you use your own containers for everything, keeping everything clearly labeled will save you a lot of time. Keep your soaps and fabric softeners labeled clearly to make them easy to find (and ensure you use each one at the right time!), add labels to each of your baskets to designate what’s in there - socks, kids’ clothes, etc - and if you’re feeling adventurous you can even add tags or labels to your shelves to remember to put everything back! Speaking of shelves… Add Shelving to Your Laundry Room If you’ve got the room and the resources, extra shelving and storage in your laundry room will always come in handy! Install some wall mounted wire shelves over the washing machine to keep your laundry baskets or soaps right at hand, whenever you need them. Or if you don’t have the space for shelves but you do have a door leading to your laundry room, some over the door storage options might be just what you need to keep your laundry supplies right in arm’s reach. Make Sure There’s Room For Your Clothes! wire shelving in laundry room Of course, all the fancy laundry room organization in the world won’t be much help if you don’t have much room for the clothes you’re there to clean, right? Make sure to leave some space available for things like a hanging rod to keep clothes that aren’t going into the dryer, try to keep some shelves free to keep clothes on when they’re ready to go, and (if you have the room) bring a utility cart with you to use as a convenient folding surface! Maybe with these tips, your next laundry day won’t seem like such a daunting proposition!
