This is a dream come true. And I hardly mind when my 5yo, who changes her clothes 3x a day, leaves a mess on the floor next to her dresser, because it is a snap to clean up, and the clothes mess is contained to one room.<br /><br />Also a big fan of black underwear for children.Marahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572057117140093635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-75745905809072273722011-01-06T08:25:45.978-08:002011-01-06T08:25:45.978-08:00Recently I did a 1 month challenge where I complet...Recently I did a 1 month challenge where I completed a load of laundry each day before using the computer. It was amazing to see how efficient I could be at moving the process along when a reward of computer time was awaiting me. The best thing was that the laundry was so up to date that I only needed to do 1 load a day for a family of 6!Allysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841847352711661671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-25413722831364787512011-01-05T18:51:08.894-08:002011-01-05T18:51:08.894-08:00I love the whites tip, Erika!

It takes a long time but you get a LOT done. The first time my husband folded from our new dryer, he came upstairs to ask me if the folding would never end! : ) Unfortunately, with 8 kids, there is never Laundry Nirvana. That's because, no matter how much laundry you do, there is a full load at the end of the day just from the clothes everyone is wearing! ; )Our Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287449581971585962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-52933305269496691612011-01-05T04:38:03.097-08:002011-01-05T04:38:03.097-08:00Great advice from everyone!

I get it all done on that day, but the last load in the dryer often ends up staying there through the weekend since it's often late when it's done and I'm tired. In fact, I think it's still in there and its now Wednesday! My mother in law gave me a great tip years ago on washing whites to get them real white-wash them twice! First in cold with detergent, second in hot with detergent and bleach. Works like a charm!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134001952865440495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-18783203725461420092011-01-04T20:19:58.988-08:002011-01-04T20:19:58.988-08:00Excellent advice!

Everything gets washed and put away before I go to bed. that's the rule - but Tuesday is ironing day. No matter what I do there is always ironing.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025438332402459232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-6757639125146943252011-01-04T14:59:36.549-08:002011-01-04T14:59:36.549-08:00I completely agree.

I just need a basket for outgrown and clothes that need mending too. Then nirvana will be achieved! It's only taken me 12 years to finally figure it out.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855090875130151419noreply@blogger.com
