Tip of the Day 1/17/11

Pre-sort your dirty laundry.  By using 3 - 6 laundry baskets to drop dirty laundry into you will be able to see which load needs to be washed without having to sort everything.  1 - 2 baskets for darks, 1 basket for lights, 1 basket for whites, 1 basket for delicates, 1 basket for towels.  Wash one to two loads per day depending on the size of your family. With it pre-sorted you can drop a load in the washer when you walk in the door from work with out having to sort.  By the time you are ready to sit down after dinner to watch TV the load is ready for folding and the whole family can join in.  At commercial breaks or when the kids head to bed, have them  put their own pieces away and you do the same.
