Dirty Laundry

[twoweevils]

I had a somewhat unconventional childhood. Some of the things that most people learn to do at home as a matter of course, I had to figure out on my own -- with varying degrees of success. I'm interested in learning how other people manage day-to-day stuff.

I invite you to participate in my Laundry Poll!

If you wear clothing more than once before washing it, where do you keep these items in between wearings?

Oops... forgot to answer this bit. My ex liked to make things (he was learning Japanese joinery) so I got him to make me a clothes post for things worn once but not yet dirty enough to go into the laundry. It's kind of like a coat rack, but only about 4 feet tall, made from a 4x6 with six pegs. I lurrrrves it. :-)

And I read the laundering instructions on new items of clothing, but then generally cheerfully ignore them unless there's some really special handling required. (But I almost never buy things like that any more, so that's rarely an issue.) Most times all dirty clothing gets tossed in haphazardly together. If anything, I tend to separate by weight rather than color since pretty much everything has been washed a gazillion times by now and nothing runs any more. The only thing I always do separately are sheets (which make up a whole load of their own) and towels (the lint factor).

The semi-worn clothes post sounds great. Much better than the "anything that's standing still" method I currently use.
