Help please - So what do you do with your clothes....

Recommended Posts

Continuing the toilet paper and towel theme, what do you do with clothes when you take them off. :?

 

If not ready for washing I'm at a bit of a loss. Tops if worn for an hour or so I hang up inside out. But what do I do with anything else, jeans etc., at present I have piles on the floor cos I don't want to put them with clean stuff. What do you do. I need sorting out. :lol::lol:

Generally my t-shirts/blouses would only be worn once and then go straight in laundry bin but if I've only worn them for a couple of hours I would hang in bedroom doorway overnight and then pop back in wardrobe in the morning. Trousers/Jeans/Cardigans I will generally wear more than once before washing so again I hang in door way overnight to air and for creases to drop out then back in wardrobe next morning.

 

The exception to this is my "chicken clothes" which I put on every morning & evening to do chickens/bunnies/torts in - these only get folded and then they're washed at weekend. :oops:

Either

 

a - work clothes hung up or shoved over bannister

b - garden clothes in heap on floor or shoved over bannister

c - casual clothes in heap on floor/shoved over bannister or hung/folded

d - dirty clothes shoved in washing bin for the washing fairy (who better get back from holiday soon that thing is OVERFLOWING!)

 

OR

 

Any of the above classes of clothing - shoved over back of dining chairs when stripped off for a dip in the hot tub - underwear hastily moved if anyone drops in!!!

If I've only worn something for a short time and it's still clean (i.e. I haven't spilled anything on it!) then I put it away, if I've worn it all day then it goes in the wash basket.

That's one hell of a bannister!!! :lol::lol:

 

Forgot to mention my clothes - pretty much as above without the hot tub :oops:

Hmm I have a little pile of clothes (fleece, jogging bottoms) next to my bed. Usually a pair of jeans on the stool at my dressing table ready to be worn again. These are things that have only been worn for a shrot time.

 

My OH likes to use the banister at the bottom of the stairs, the top of the stairs, the floor on the landing, the bedstead, the floor in the bedroom, the towel rail in the bathroom...... you get the picture :roll:

Similar to most of you:

 

Underwear, socks and dirty clothes: to the wash.

Partly worn and not smelly or dirty: to the enormous pile over the bed rail, over what used to be the rocking chair in the bedroom, now known as Mount Everest, or over something else that I don't remember what type of furniture it was... :oops:

 

Sometimes I even find the clothes again, I get some nice surprises when I realised it either fits me again or it's back into fashion... :oops::oops::oops:

Clean clothes go away into Wardrobe and drawers, clothes which can be worn again are laid out on my beanbag in my room and dirty clothes go in the dirty tub on the landing!

 

The 'dirty tub' is and old dry rot powder barrel from my Mum's parents house, they're painted with weird birds and flowers and has a plastic bag in it. :wink:

... I thought you would all come back with good ideas for me ...

 

Yes I read this thread with hope, but have ended up instead with reassurance!

 

What I don't like is when I'm away and the bedroom has no chair for my still-useable clothes to sit on. Or not enough coat hangers so I can't let things air.

I just shove them back in drawers. Almost nothing gets hung up in my wardrobe as OH has stolen most of the space and I have two large chests of drawers for my clothes. This does however result in the odd musty drawer if something gets shoved back worn into the 'not very popular the moment' drawer. When I stopped fitting into most of my clothes, I dug them all out, sorted them, washed them and put them away in the 'none of it will fit for the better part of a year' chest of drawers. But mostly, putting them away and getting them out again works fine for me. I have one drawer which is specially for tops and cardis that have been worn but could be worn again.

I am hugely reassured by you all.

 

I have a bannister too, there's no airing rail in the main bathroom so the lads sling their wet towels over the bannister. When they remember to pick them up off the floor, that is :wink: .

 

Half-worn clothes get laid over the chest of drawers in the bedroom ready for a second half-wearing before they get washed. Dirty stuff straight in the laundry bin, along with all dirty underwear. Sometimes the laundry fairy visits and empties the bin, which then magically fills to overflowing within 3 hours :roll: .

 

Clean laundry is usually put away if it doesn't need ironing (unless it belongs to one of the lads in which case it lives on whatever surface is available until needed or lost), or added to the ironing mountain, which never ever disappears. I love a pile of clean, ironed clothes. I just can't stand the process of getting them that way!

I'm glad I'm not the only shoved over the bannister girl!

 

But only for garden/casual clothes. Everything else is hung up or straight in the washing basket.

Umm, you wouldn't want to see my room at the moment there are clothes everywhere some still in the suitcase from Scotland, and revision strewn all over the floor :roll:

 

Dirty clothes get chucked by the door ready to go in the washing basket when I can no longer get out.

Blazer goes on the back of my chair, clothes that aren't really dirty build up on my other chair.

And I have some clothes that I only wear to the farm/work experience, so when I get back covered in "muck" :wink: they go straight into the washing machine :lol: .

DD has a laundry basket which is usually empty - clean and dirty clothes are always strewn around the floor (but she has got better lately as I refused to do any of her washing for a couple of weeks and she got desperate). DS has a cool box (don't ask) - his laundry basket broke ages ago, and all his dirty clothes are put in the box - clean ones are either on his bed or he actually hangs them up and puts them away. Took a while, but success. Ours - dirty in the laundry basket, not too dirty but good enough for cleaning and gardening hang on the side of our bath. Clean are hung up or in drawers.
