TIP: Save the lower shelves for the products you are reaching for most often.
TIP: Create neatly labeled bins to separate your cleaning supplies from your garment care.
TIP: Purchase products to use that make you want to be in the space — laundry is a task, so it’s best to incorporate things that make it fun.
TIP: Keep the countertops clear so you have plenty of room to fold.
TIP: Make sure you have a conveniently located waste bin for lint and/or dryer sheets.
TIP: Commit a tray or jar for the items you find left in pockets.
TIP: Sorting saves time — incorporate hampers that allow you to separate colors from whites before laundry time.
TIP: Invest in pretty baskets that are functional and also aesthetically pleasing.
TIP: Incorporate a framed family photo, piece of artwork or fresh flowers that’ll make spending your time folding a little less of a chore.
TIP: Store powdered laundry detergent in clear glass jars and liquid detergent in a glass beverage dispenser!
