Laundry: Go from dirty to done without the headache

Invest in divided hampers.
Sorting laundry can be a tedious task, so it pays to find ways to encourage your crew do it automatically. “If possible, each family member (or bedroom) should have a divided hamper,” says Steph at Modern Parents Messy Kids. “Darks go in one section, and lights in the other right from the get-go. That way, when it gets to the laundry room, the work has been done for you.”

Give each family member a socks-only mesh bag
Laura at Better in Bulk uses this genius move to eliminate the missing-sock blues and endless sorting and matching: “…throw them in the washer and dryer with a normal load of laundry. When they are dry, each person gets their sock bag back and folds and puts them away. No more sorting though to figure out whose are whose, and no mismatched pairs!”

Fold Fast or Don’t Fold At All
“One of my favorite laundry hacks for my family is rolling shirts rather than folding them,” says Jodi at Meaningful Mama. “I find that it saves on space and helps to keep drawers tidier. My kids can more easily get a top view of all of their shirts rather than digging through a stack of folded clothes.”
