Show ‘N Share for Clutter Control:
This lovely laundry room became even lovelier when we did some serious clutter control. The table meant for folding can now be used at will because the piles of clothes have been removed and put in their place. One of the containers was labeled so the hand wash doesn’t get mixed up with the other clothes.
In the cupboards there are washing supplies, emergency supplies, and now cat supplies. All are organized by category and in terms of how easy it is to retrieve what is most often used and needed. One thing we did was simply adjusting the shelves.
When doing clutter control in any area keep in mind:
- What do I use most often—keep these items where they can be easily accessed and returned.
- Teach your family what your goals are and get their commitment to help keep it clutter free.
- Use suitable containers.
This is a laundry room in progress—several containers will come to live to keep the items in the cupboards in their own space.
Does your laundry room light you up? Does it need clutter control or is it just the way you want it? About once every two weeks I find that I have to tidy mine up and remove sneaky things that have come to live there that don’t belong.
Here is a tip I read that is very timely if you are traveling for the holidays or going to be away from your home for the weekend. If you have read my blog in the past few days you know that’s what I am doing—traveling. Read on to discover how being organized can help prevent accidents.
I saw the most beautiful laundry room ever in a new home. There is cute tile the full length of the counter top and florescent lights galore under the upper cupboards. The tile is in bright colors depicting different clothes. There is a lot of space in the room and it is a dream to fold clothes as there are two large windows at the end of the room.
Recently I bought a new entertainment “table” and the old one which was bulky had to be carried out of the basement. As the men were maneuvering it up the stairs the wall was scratched. They were concerned, but I was just grateful they were doing what they were doing. Because of a few organizing tips my friend Heather had shared with me it was no problem to quickly touch up the scratch on the wall.
I love winning things. I mean, who doesn’t love FREE stuff?! Especially when it is quality and not junk.
I was watching Good Morning America and a woman was reviewing some products as seen on info-commercials. I was shocked that she was negative on one of my favorite organizing tools. They tried to move a car with the product and it wouldn’t move, well h-e-l-l-o how many times do we need to spin our car around?
I used to work with a woman who came home from vacation to find the first floor of her home flooded. The tap where the water turns on to the washing machine had broken in their absence. The washing machine was on the second floor of her home; so two floors were flooded.
