The laundry room/space – the literally cleanest place into your since it used for just that – cleaning! At times though the dirty clothes and detergent bottoms can become overwhelming it is important to stay organized! Below are few tips to help you out!
1.
And most important – Use your
space efficiently! - Have shelving or cabinets installed for storage. Consider
using an in wall ironing board, like from Target, as shown to the right and/or an installed drying rack that can extend from the wall from Etsy, and
shown below
2. Organize your shelves-
First, toss out anything that has been pushed in the back and is never used.
Second, try to consolidate your items. If you have multiple detergents opened,
then start using the ones with the lowest amount so you can toss it the
fastest. Try taking your dryer sheets and placing them in Tupperware, not only
will you condense the number or boxes you have, but it will also keep the smell
locked in tight. Lastly, try lining your shelves. With gooey detergents oozing
from the bottle, it will save the face of the shelf, and you can also just
throw the liner away as needed. Not to mention, pretty patterned liners also
add a nice ascetically pleasing look to you laundry room. After all, who said
the laundry room needed to look boring?
3.
Control the clutter! – That’s right,
organize your shelves by category. Try using baskets from <LINK> or from
<LINK> to hold all of washing machine needs and another for your dryer.
If you keep sewing supplies in your cabinet, make another box to help you. Sort
towels on another shelf, cleaning supplies or other miscellaneous items as
needed in the space in their own section.
4.
Fourth, not certainly by far not the least
important is you need to remember to maintain your washer and dryer! After all,
could you imagine the mess that would accumulate if you did not have a washer
and dryer? First, be sure to clean out your dryer vents! Don’t just wipe away
the buildup that has formed but be sure to rinse it out with soap and water
every now and again. Secondly, while you are at washing your dryer vent, wipe
down your machines as well. There is nothing wrong with keeping the machines
clean from all of the excess detergent that may have dripped or from the dust
that has accumulated! Lastly, every once in a while, take the time to use your
muscles and pull the washer and dryer out, and away from the wall. Take the
time to sweep behind that machines, you never know, you may even find the other
pair to your sock!
