Instead of accumulating the laundry of everyone in the same charge, divide and conquer by getting each member of your household their own basket.

Nobody can help you sort and fold, because it's a big fat mystery which belongs to to whom "said Nonahs Driskill, a founder organizer ofBeing already organized! "The solution? The laundry of each is washed separately."

Everyone has these difficult objects to bend who find themselves in a battery rather than being actually put correctly. "Instead of stacking clothes ... on the bed or chair, [you] can put the most worn clothes on hooks", suggests DRISKILL. "Install robust hooks in the closet, the room, the bathroom. I'm talking about the type used in ski flags to hang jackets and snow equipment."
6 First separate your clothes by category.
Rather than tackling the contents of your basket to the laundry at once fallen, separate your clothes by category before starting the folding process. "Lot clothes first by sorting them so you can enter a folding rhythm a type of clothes at a time," suggests a professional Ben Soreff organizer ofHome home organizing.

"If your innate skills and / or capabilities do not run to bend the laundry and you have storages that allow you to keep your laundry unrolled - go ahead! I cling my dress shirts, suits and pants in a closet . I suppose my t -Hirts and sweaters in large colorful fabric bins that are stacked in my closet. My underwear are a clutter in a drawer of the dresser. My pajamas are a clutter in another drawer. The sweatshirts and Hot tips are in two other drawers, "she says." There is no single method of folding clothes. "

13 Stop balleting your socks.
If you put socks in a drawer, do not swing first. "Thethe easiest way to fold socks is to place them together and bend one on both socks. This keeps socks together as a pair but requires minimal effort. My preferred way to fold socks is the two set flat on a table, bend half and again half (or in thirds for smaller socks). This allows you to deposit socks vertically in the drawer so you can easily see and access each pair, "says Santoro.
14 Fold your sweaters on a hanger.

Two, place it on the hanger with the hook with the armpit and bend the sleeves, then the body on the hanger. "
15 Do not sweep them if things do not seem perfect.
Even the professional organizers have their days off when it comes to folding the laundry, then do not beat if your finished product does not look magazine.
