It's probably the last room we want our visitors to be.
But the laundry room is nevertheless as important as any other room.
Organizing it helps us perform our chores more efficiently, and we don't need a lot of technology for that to happen.
First of all, we need to identify what we usually need and use when doing the laundry.
Aside from washing clothes, we also do the ironing and folding of clothes.
As such, we need a place to keep our chemicals, flat iron, ironing board, bins, and tables.
To organize the laundry room, we need to allocate specific areas for storage.
Racks, peg boards, cabinets, shelves, and hooks are functional for this purpose.
The items that will be kept in a particular area should determine which storage device we need to install.
Have a small empty container ready near the laundry appliances.
People often forget to remove items like cash, pens, and receipts from their pockets.
We can place these items in that box.
Keep the containers of detergents, starches, stain removers, and fabric softeners around the washing machine area.
They should be near enough and within easy reach while you soak, rinse, and wash the clothes.
But they should also be far enough to keep them from getting wet.
Don't just place them on the floor.
Keep them elevated so that you won't have to bend or kneel every time you need to get them.
A low shelf or table might be best for this purpose.
A trash container beside the dryer and washer should also be placed.
We need to clean the lint from the laundry appliances regularly and dispose of the empty detergent packages and used dryer sheets.
A rack or laundry cart is likewise important for hanging freshly-washed laundry.
During sorting, segregate the belongings of each family member by using individual hampers.
There are also stackable plastic bins which help conserve space in the room.
In addition, using wire shelving is a great idea, as it allows for versatility.
Collapsible ironing boards and tables are ideal to keep the room spacious.
Lastly, don't store finished laundry in the laundry room.
We can label the racks and shelves to remind everyone to return everything properly after use.
We can even put up reminders to keep everything in order.
What's important is that we customize it in our own familiar way.
