It seems like children’s clothes get out of control so quickly! It is always the worst when we are in between seasons, when it’s not consistently hot or cold.

Over the years, I’ve tried so hard to keep our children’s clothes in check.  Here are the methods that keep me sane.  Hopefully you can use these ideas in your own home and finally get a grip on your children’s clothes.

Designate a place for your child’s dirty clothes

Do your kids have a spot where their dirty clothes should go each time they take them off?  Even more importantly: Do they know where that spot is?

My girls put their clothes in a hamper that is strategically placed right beside my 3-year-old’s bed.  She can’t miss it.   Before I placed the hamper by her bed, there were dirty clothes all over her floor, all of the time.   It is her job to take her dirty clothes from the bathroom floor to her dirty hamper every night.  It took many run-throughs to teach her this task, but she gets it now and does a great job.

Task: Designate a specific place for your children to put their dirty clothes.  It should be the same spot every day and shouldn’t move (hamper in the bathroom, basket in their closet, sort them in the laundry room, etc).  Do a run-through where you instruct your child where to put their dirty clothes and then watch them do the job to make sure it meets your satisfaction.  Make your expectations clear.

Sort and purge their clothes…and then purge some more

I have found that when we have too many clothes (we have been blessed with so many hand-me-downs!), that drawers are overstuffed and there isn’t room to hang anything else in the closets.  I then go through clothes and purge heavily. It makes me crazy for clothes to hang out of every drawer in the dresser. I also don’t like for my son to have an excuse not to put his clean clothes away: “Mama, I couldn’t possibly put my clothes away.  I can’t put anything else in the drawers.”  That doesn’t fly with this Mama.

Task:  Go through each article of clothing and make a quick decision without spending a ton of time on each piece.  Get rid of it if: it’s stained, it’s too small/too large, you don’t like it, they won’t wear it, it’s too high maintenance (ex: has to be hand-washed).  Before you purge have a plan in place for what you’ll do with the items you’re giving away.  Take them to Goodwill, donate to a friend, or throw them away if they’re really awful.  But whatever you do, don’t leave them lying around in bags for weeks on end.  Go ahead and get them out of your house.

If you plan to keep clothes for future babies, set up a method

We do save our clothes for any future children.  We already have 4, but, well…you never know.  I’ve written a detailed post on how to organize your children’s clothes for future use.  Feel free to browse through that to get some ideas of what would work for your own family.  But like anything else, use what you can and forget the rest.

If you get a system in place that works for you (works for you is key there), you can rotate them out like clockwork.  It’s so freeing.  Really.

Task: Read through my post on storing children’s clothes.  Determine what method you’ll use (mine or someone else’s) and then buy the items you’ll need to successfully use that method.  Then get to work sorting and putting away.

Teach your children age-appropriate laundry skills

The goal to making your laundry life easier is your children to be self-sufficient in the laundry room.  No, I don’t mean forcing them to wash their own clothes at 5 years old or anything drastic like that.  But at 5 years old, there are definite ways they can help in the laundry room.  Encourage laundry skills early so they’ll just see it as part of taking care of themselves, like brushing their teeth or making their bed.

Here are a few (loose) guidelines if you need some direction.  Of course every child is different, so it’s up to you to determine how much they can really help and what their responsibilities should be.

18 months – 3 years: With lots of direction they can: put their own dirty clothes in the hamper (“Please pick up this sock.  Put it in the hamper.”), pick up stray clothes around the house, pick up those clothes that fall out of the basket when you’re walking to/from the laundry room

3 to 6 years:  All of the previous responsibilities, plus: empty trash can in the laundry room, empty the lint filter, daily pick up of strewn laundry around the house, simple folding (washcloths, underwear), match and fold socks, put some clothes away, bring laundry basket to mom.

7 to 9 years: All of the previous responsibilities, plus: put the sorted clothes in the washing machine, transfer wet clothes from washer to dryer, sort clothes into darks/whites, empty clothes from dryer into laundry basket, put all of their own clothes away.

10+ years: All of the previous responsibilities, plus: Load machine with correctly sorted clothes, add detergent, and turn machine to correct cycle.  This is after you’ve instructed and supervised them multiple times and you feel confident in their ability.

13+ years: Some 13-year-olds are fully capable of being solely responsible for washing their own clothes.  It’s definitely a great goal to strive for complete responsibility by 15 or 16. They need to leave your house knowing how to get their own clothes clean.

So how do you keep your kids’ clothes under control?  Share your best tips.

Lastly, Jami is sharing 5 Tips to transition a kid’s room to a teen’s room.

I find that there are two types of Laundry Room owners: those that have a spot-less, un-cluttered laundry room and those that happily shut the door and pretend it’s not a disaster in there.

Just for the record, I have been both of those types in my life. With 4 children under the age of 7, I tend to teeter on the shut-the-door side at the moment.

Despite my family who seems to work against me in all-things-cleaning, here are Mama’s best tips for keeping the laundry room in order.

Ensure that only items that should be in the laundry room are actually in the laundry room

I know. It seems obvious, right? I believe that every home has a catch-all spot which houses all of those things you don’t really know what to do with. That’s where the saying “A place for everything and everything in its place” comes in handy.

If you’re looking to get a handle on your laundry room, designate some other area of the house to be that catch-all spot: the mud room, the table by the back door, where ever. Just make sure it’s not your laundry room.

You may need to spend 30 minutes (or a couple of days) purging all of those non-laundry room items. Either get rid of them completely or find them a new spot in your home.

Note: Some people use a portion of the laundry room as storage for other items, our house included. If you choose to use your laundry room for other types of items, make sure they have their own spot. We designate the top shelf to storing other items and it works out well for us.

Add the Laundry Room to your monthly cleaning rotation

If your Laundry Room takes a lot of abuse or is very visible (right beside the back door, for example) you might need to even add it to your list of weekly cleaning tasks. If you purposely carve out time to manage your laundry room, it can only get  so cluttered and disorganized every month.

It’s a room like any other: the baseboards need to be wiped down, the trashcan needs emptying and the light fixture needs the occasional cleaning. Not to mention that your washer and dryer need to be cleaned regularly.

Try putting it on your schedule for a month or two. I guarantee you’ll see improvement.

Organize your laundry room with baskets

Baskets are an easy way to organize your laundry room. They house little objects that might otherwise clutter up a counter or – worse yet – the tops of your washer and dryer.

Baskets also go back to the “everything in their place” saying. If you keep your miscellaneous items in a basket, you’ll know exactly where the scissors are every time you need to remove a tag. You’ll also know where to return them when you’re finished.

Baskets don’t have to be expensive. I purchased the ones in this picture from Walmart for $6 each and they’ve lasted for 3+ years. I can’t tell you the headaches they’ve saved me from knowing where to find those needed items.

Always keep the floor clean

Always. No exceptions.

That picture up there?  That’s the tornado that I know awaits me if I don’t keep the floor picked up.  It’s only taken me 10 years of marriage to figure that out.

If the floor is clean in your laundry room, I can almost guarantee that you are caught up on laundry and don’t have a 10-foot-tall laundry pile waiting on you. It would also mean that you adhered to tip #1 where you only have laundry items in your laundry room.

(Is it just me or do random things sneak into your laundry room too? Old Halloween outfits, a bike horn, a baseball. I have no idea how it happens. Oh wait. Yes, I do.)

There is a direct correlation between the state of my laundry room floor and the rest of my laundry room. If the floor is a disaster, the rest of the room is as well. So I know when my floor is a wreck that I need to kick it up a notch.

So if you are blessed with a laundry room (I know some of you don’t and you have my greatest sympathies – seriously), what are your top tricks to keeping it clean and straight? Do tell.

Christine from I Dream of Clean talks about ways to save money and go green in the laundry room.

Lastly, Nony from A Slob Comes Clean is writing all about the old debate of  hanging versus folding.

The Master Bedroom seems to be a hot spot for clutter, especially for that of the clothing variety.

You know how it is: people are coming over and you’ve run around the house putting miscellaneous items (clutter) in a laundry basket to be “dealt with” later.  So what do you do?

You put that basket on your bedroom floor.  You’ll sort through it…tomorrow.  Right?

It turns out that you don’t sort through it tomorrow and then you end up putting today’s clothes that were hardly worn on top of the basket.  You’re going to wear them again tomorrow, so there’s no real need to hang them up.  You laid them out nice and flat for their future wearing.

And then you finish folding all of the clothes that are on your bed, but you don’t quite get them put away.  So you put those piles of clothes on your dresser to put away later.  Very soon, your dresser looks like this.  After awhile, you start to wonder if you even have a dresser under there because it’s been so long since you’ve seen the top.

Not that I would know anything about that at all, as this has never happened to me.

{Ahem.}

To prevent your bedroom from looking like mine did once upon a time, here are some tips to point you in the right direction.

Have a plan for dirty clothes

Create and implement a plan for dirty clothes. Determine where those dirty clothes are going to go when you take them off of your body.  Also plan for how they’ll be sorted for wash day. The most important step: Make sure everyone knows the Dirty Clothes Plan.  If it drives you crazy that your spouse throws his/her clothes all over the floor, go through the plan with him and make sure he knows what to do.

Make the Dirty Clothes Plan easy to implement

Whatever Dirty Clothes Plan you choose for the Master Bedroom, make sure it is easy to implement.  I guarantee that your plan isn’t going to work if you have to jump through a bunch of hoops.  Don’t buy laundry baskets that are hard to open or are too small.  If at all possible, make sure the laundry baskets are close to the place that people are getting undressed.  If they have to remember to take their clothes some place special (say from the bathroom floor to the laundry room), your plan might not work from the get go – it’s too much trouble.

Make your plan as easy and streamlined as possible for maximum compliance from the other people in your house.

Purge as many clothes as you can

Having too many clothes causes all sorts of problems: your dresser drawers won’t close, you don’t wash clothes often because you just know there’s something available to wear, you always have a mountain of clothes to wash because you can go so long between washings, clothes are perpetually strewn about because you have too many clothes in your system.

By purging unnecessary clothes, you eliminate a good deal of clothes that are on your bedroom floor or draped across the chair.  You have to put them in the dirty clothes pile because you have to wash them in order to have something to wear.

It’s like forced self-discipline.

Don’t put clothes on any flat surface

Don’t put a pile of folded clothes on any flat surface in your bedroom – not your dresser, not your ironing board that should be put away, and not your beautiful cedar chest that’s in the corner.

Just put the clothes away in the correct places.  Period.

Can’t figure out how to make that happen?  Sabotage yourself.

How do you keep clean clothes put away and dirty clothes off of the floor in your bedroom?

You may (or may not!) have noticed, but I’ve been in a bit of a laundry funk lately.  I’m not feeling the Laundry Love, you know?

I have several topics I could write on, but I just don’t have the desire.  I have a half-written post on How to Handwash Delicates, but am having trouble getting it finished.

While I’m getting my act together, here are two laundry guest posts I wrote this week.  Hopefully I’ll be back in action by Monday.

The Peaceful Mom

De-Stress Your Laundry – I’ve written lots of posts on how to de-stress your Laundry Life.  Here are a few good reminders.

About One’s blog In a Nutshell

Organize the Laundry Room to Save Time, Effort and Money – If you need a little convincing to spring clean the laundry room, this is a good read.

Do you have any burning laundry issues?  Shoot me an email.

(I must tell you that I searched high and low for the correct grammar of pluralizing ‘Do and Don’t’.  The correct way is sans apostrophes, although that looks horribly odd.  But I had to put an apostrophe in ‘Do’s’ because I just couldn’t take the ‘Dos’.  Just so you know.)

Our kitchen is definitely the most-used room in our home.  I homeschool my children, so we eat 3 meals a day in our little kitchen and those meals are mostly made from scratch.

3 made-from-scratch meals + real dishes (not paper plates) = a ridiculous amount of used dishcloths and towels

I will be the first to admit that I change dishcloths often, usually using 2 dishcloths per day.  I can’t bear to wash a sink of supper dishes with the same cloth I used to wash breakfast dishes the same morning.  The dishcloth has had all day to sit and grow all kinds of gross bacteria and other germs.  Food-borne illness can make you really sick and I’d like to avoid it at all costs.  So I avoid it by washing a million kitchen towels and dishcloths each week.

Note: When I refer to a ‘dishcloth’ in this post I’m talking about the cloth you actually put in the sudsy water to wash dishes, not the towel you use to dry them off. 

Dishcloth Do’s

Rinse dishcloths frequently in hot water.
Rinse your dishcloths often under hot water, especially when you’re wiping down kitchen surfaces. Rinse after you wipe off the table and then again after you wipe off the stove and then again after you wipe off the counter.  It’s even better if you can swish it around in a sink full of soapy, hot water and then wring out before you use it.  You really can’t rinse a dishcloth too often, in my opinion.

Use a dishcloth only for washing dishes.
If you’re using a dishcloth for dishes, make sure that is the only thing you use it for.  Don’t wipe the baby’s face with it or her high chair tray.  That type of washing deserves its own cloth or paper towel.  And by all means, do not wipe anything off of the floor with your dish cloth and then use it again to wash dishes.  The thoughts of that makes my skin crawl.  So don’t do it.

Use more than one dishcloth, if needed.
Don’t be afraid to use more than one dishcloth per day.  If you’ve washed two sinks full of dishes, you probably need a new cloth.  I think most of us believe we’re allowed a maximum of only one dishcloth per day, but I promise you can use two.

Always lay dishcloths flat to dry between each use throughout the day.

Dishcloth Don’ts

Don’t use the same dishcloth for the whole week.
Even if you only wash 1 or 2 dishes a day, you just can’t use the same cloth that many days in a row.  By the end of the week, the dishcloth has gotten wet multiple times and that by itself is enough to let bacteria grow.  Add in the washing off of food particles and you’ve got a gross piece of laundry there.

Don’t leave your dishcloth wadded up in a ball.
If you must use the same dishcloth all day, make sure you lay it out flat to dry between uses.  It’s even better if you can hang it up to air dry before you use it again.  Warm, balled up, wet dishcloths are great little breeding grounds for mold and mildew.  Avoid it at all costs.

Don’t be afraid to use paper towels.
If you’re wiping up a huge puddle of spilled milk, go ahead and just use paper towels.  Soured milk in a dishcloth is one of the worst smells ever and you’ll probably end up throwing the dishcloth away because of it.  Or for wiping a countertop contaminated with raw chicken, just use paper towels instead of a dishcloth.

In all likelihood, you won’t be able to wash those horribly germ-y dishcloths immediately and they’ll sit somewhere until wash day.  You don’t want them sitting somewhere, covered in salmonella.  Trust me.  I  know it’s not the eco-friendly thing to do, but use paper towels for the really gross stuff.

So tell me: Are you a person who changes dishcloths regularly or are you a once-a-weeker?  ‘Fess up!

I have a very unique opportunity for my fabulous laundry readers here at Mama’s Laundry Talk.  If you would be interested in reviewing a new laundry product that has not yet been released to the public, read on.

The Bottle Crew company is releasing a new laundry product soon: Sole Mates.  They are looking for interested laundry washers to review their product before it is released to the public and provide feedback.

The Product: Sole Mate

Sole Mate is the answer to the age-old question: Where is my other sock?

After removing your dirty socks, simply place the socks into the holes.  Then throw the product in the hamper, then the washer, then the dryer.

After removing your clean, dry socks from the dryer, enjoy effortlessly matching both of the socks in the pair. (Love that it would eliminate The Sock Bin!)

Sole Mates are made out of a rubbery-type material which is safe for all kinds of socks, including hose and stockings.

For thicker socks, use one sock per insert. For thinner socks, loop them through both inserts to ensure stability as they tumble through the washer and dryer.

The Review: What You’ll Need to Do

If you choose to receive a package of Sole Mates for review, your job is fairly simple.

The Bottle Crew would like for you to use their product for several uses.  After you have used it enough times to form an opinion, they would like your honest feedback.  They would like to know your thoughts about the product as a whole: the packaging, its usability, your likes and dislikes.

In your package, you’ll receive detailed instructions on how to submit your opinions, which will be a very simple process.

To summarize:  You’ll receive your package of Sole Mates, you’ll use it several times, then you’ll send an email to someone with your feedback.  So simple!

See if you can relate to this laundry scenario:

You have 5+ loads of clothes that must be washed today.  You have a 5 minute break in your schedule, so now is the perfect time to roll the laundry (take the clean, dry load out of the dryer, put the wet clothes on to tumble and put a new, dirty load in the washer).

You take the clothes from the dryer and toss them onto the bed.  You’ve got time to put the wet clothes in the dryer and start a fresh load in the washer.

But what about the clean clothes you’ve put on the bed?  You don’t possibly have time to fold them right now.

You can certainly choose not to fold them right now, but that’s going to create one cold, wrinkly pile of clothes you’ll have to deal with later.

So just deal with them now.  Here is a quick way when you don’t have much time.

(Click on the picture to see exactly what is in each pile.)

Underwear and Socks

Put all of the underwear in a pile and all of the socks into a separate pile.  These two items don’t need to be folded immediately, as they can be wrinkly and it really won’t matter.

Shirts and T-shirts

Hold the t-shirt by the shoulder seams and give it a good flap to get out the initial wrinkles.  Then lay it flat on the bed.  Repeat this same process with every t-shirt in the basket.  Simply lay them on top of one another.  They’ll appear slightly wrinkled but they’ll be fine once you fold them.

If it’s a shirt that needs to be hung on a hanger, lay them flat on your folding surface or bed in a single layer only.  Don’t put another shirt on top of it.

Jeans and Pants

If your load consists of jeans, take one pair out at the time.  Hold it by the waistband and give it a good, hard flap.  Then lay it out flat on your folding surface.  You can lay several pairs on top of one another without causing them to become wrinkly.  Follow the same method for most any pair of long pants or shorts.

Sheets and Towels

I personally cannot stand to fold wrinkly sheets, so I pull them out quickly and just lay them flat.  Interestingly enough, I can deal pretty easily with wrinkly towels, so I just leave them until I can work them in later in the day or evening.

If you could care less about wrinkly towels or sheets, simply leave them until later.

Now What?

So you now have these piles of clothes lying all over your folding surface or bed.  So now what?

Well, you’ll have to fold them.

Laying them out this way only buys you time if you have to get the next load of laundry going.  Unfortunately, it does not save you the trouble of folding them or the even more dreaded task of getting them put away.

How Often Should You Use This Method?

Choice #1:
Sparingly.

I do this maybe once or twice a week, at the most.  I don’t want to get in the habit of doing clothes with this method because it’s one of the few habits I have going for me these days!

When I do use this method, I have all of them waiting for me when I come upstairs for the evening and then I have to spend the time folding them and putting them away because they are on my bed.  And that makes me want to cry, because my bed is just calling for me to come get in it.

So I try really hard to get them all folded and put away prior to 4pm every day.

Choice #2:
Weekly.

Maybe you are a wash-once-a-week type of laundress.  If that’s the case, you may choose to save all of the folding until all of the loads are completed.  Turn on your favorite show from the DVR and fold away.

So what do you do when you have to move the laundry along but don’t have time to fold?

Nony from A Slob Comes Clean is by far, one of my favorite bloggers.  She is brutally honest about her deslobification (her word) journey.  Her genuine, realistic portrayal of her home is why people relate to her so well.

Well, today is the day.  Nony has written 28 Days to Hope for Your Home and it is finally released today!

Y’all, I’ve read it cover to cover and it is really good.

Take note that this ebook is not for the mildy disorganized.  If you are a person that looks for every opportunity to purge clutter, you mop your kitchen floor every Tuesday morning at 10 am or you can find a specific receipt any time you need it, then this book is not for you.

However, if you feel completely lost in where to start with getting your home under control, this ebook is going to be worth your time.

Nony helps you develop 4 habits in 4 weeks.  This is very do-able and will give you hope that your house won’t always be a disaster.

Because it won’t.  Nony is living proof of that.

28 Days to Hope for Your Home includes:

• Twenty-eight days of specific instructions to help you develop four basic (but essential) home management habits.
• Insights into why these concepts seem foreign to you.
• Practical tips to keep you from giving up.
• Bonus sections with realistic strategies for laundry management, meal prep, and decluttering.
• More than 45 pages of all new, exclusive content!

Nony is offering the book at $7.99, but during the month of February it is only $4.00.

Why Should You Order It?

I told you that I’ve read it.  And it’s good.  My Laundry Life is in fantastic shape.  But the rest of my home?  It’s not always so de-cluttered and sparkly…if ever.

Nony wrote this from a mother’s perspective, in that it is very practical help.  She knows the shame of having a house that is a disaster and how isolating that feels.  She knows what it is like  to hope that the doorbell doesn’t ring all day because you could never invite the ringer inside.

Did I mention she has a section on laundry management?  Oh yes ma’am, she does.

I’m excited to start her 4 habits.  Even though I do pretty okay on those habits, I definitely need her encouragement to keep on keepin’ on.

And you should also buy it because she is hilariously funny.  Really.  Very, very funny.

28 Days to Hope for Your Home could forever change the way your home looks and feels.  Company could stop over without you having to play Nobody’s Home.  You could have an impromptu dinner guest without having to shove everything in the guest room.  It could really be life-changing, if you let it.

To order your digital copy (which downloads right to your computer, of course) just click over to A Slob Comes Clean.
