  • I always put things back in cupboards and wipe laundry surfaces down every second day or so. It keeps the laundry tidy and clean.


  • I am currently watching House Rules and am amazed at the laundries they produce. So beautiful and functional. All I do is dream……


  • I gave up on that a long time ago. Our laundry is also the toilet and backyard shed so there’s stuff everywhere. We do have 3 cupboards and 2 sets of shelves, but it never seems to be under control clutter wise


  • Don’t let it build up works for me!


  • I have a washing basket for dark and light wash. I wash it, hang it out, when dry iron and fold it and put it straight away. I will not do a next wash till the last one is put away. In practice this means that my wash never piles up.


  • Keep all detergents etc in a cupboard – have a small basket / caddy for sponges and small bits and pieces. Also have laundry hampers that clothes get sorted in straight away. If the hamoers can go inside a cupboard then the mess can be hidden


  • My laundry isn’t tidy until the washing is done. Which as we know, is never completely done. Our laundry hosts our pantry, washer/drier, deep freezer, sink, cleaning items, bin and dog food. We don’t have the luxury of space but less is definitely more. Re-home non essential items


  • I wash nearly everyday keeps most of my washing at bay.


  • get a cupboard! lol there are many nifty little ideas that you can try out.


  • I like the less is best approach too. I dislike clutter.


  • Some great tips here thanks.


  • I am liking JOHTKOOL comment. 🙂


  • I generally sorting then wash ,hang out &when dry flood ,put away straight away .So it is back in draws,not much mess.


  • Go to IKEA or Howard’s Storage World, so many nice ideas that are budget friendly 😀


  • I’ve made life easier for me in the laundry as I’ve been using the new Radiant colour sort washing liquid that I can wash dark & lighter clothes together. It works!


  • I have a washing basket with lid on for each member of the family, they put their laundry in it I sort and wash. Once all done it goes back in the basket delivered to the said member for them to put away. Even the youngest in the house (4) knows how to do it


  • I have a 3 slot basket, 1 for towels, 1 for whites and 1 for darks makes it very easy when putting the washing on 🙂


  • Less is more I think.
    Keep it as a blank canvas. Buckets under the trough, Powder/spray/soaker on bench. Laundry baskets under bench – 1 for whites, 1 for socks/jocks/towels, 1 for regular clothes. Ironing board hung up on wall behind door.
    Keep it simple.


  • To keep it tidy I keep it simple – one package of each product, only. This is my method: One washing liquid, one Napisan, one fabric softener, one fabric spray ( though I find washing liquid directly on stain is better so I will no longer buy spray). Same for the clothes etc, one basket of whites, one for darks, when they are full-ish(sometimes piles up) they are washed. Sorting linen from each person’s clothes is done while hanging and collecting


  • I am a washing freak and coulor sorter so I know what will be the biggest load and when I hang them out I hang my clothes together Hubbies the same all towels together and in matching coulors and also the tea towels as well as all sock hung together in pairs. Sheets and pillow cases again together.
    This way I fold them in order as I take them of the line and in the basket they are pit in Hubbies mine towels tea towels.
    Why I do it this way is the first cupboard I go past is for the sheets pillow cases donas then the next cupboard I go past is where the tea towels live than I go to my towel cupboard and put the towels face cloths bath mats. Than I hand Hubby his and tell him to put them away and than mine.
    I f you have little room put you clothes in containers and the out of season clothes into the vacume seal bags
