Laundry used to be a beast that would taunt me every week. The sorting process is what did me in and caused me to procrastinate. One day I happened upon a different laundry system that I tweaked a bit. For 20 years this system has been working magic in our home. If you have a medium or large sized family and like to sort your clothing by color and water temp, then this system is for you!

Keeping up with laundry for a family can really be a problem. Unless you have a good laundry system, you are going to be fighting the battle of the clothing for a long time. I used to hate to do laundry, but now I find that it is one of the chores I don't mind doing at all.
Sometimes I'm inundated with laundry and then it might be a bit of a drag. You know, like after a vacation or when it's time to bring out the clothing for the new season? Then there are a lot of loads to do and I just do a few a day and plow through them.
Otherwise, I'm happy with how this chore goes. While I might wish I had a bigger laundry room, I believe it is more important to have a good, efficient system down than a big room.
Take a look at my video and let me know what you think!
