I don’t fold socks, pillow cases, pajamas or sheets. Ever. As a matter of fact, I don’t fold anything really…OK, so I’m a slacker.

I do one mega-day of laundry each week so I don’t have to make multiple trips to closets all week.

I put the kids’ pajamas in the bathroom so that saves another trip dripping water down the hallway post-bath.

I am really enjoying your site!

I have pop-up baskets in my closets, (secured to the wall with a mirror hanger, so they don’t kick around): 1 each for socks, undies, and bra’s. The socks get folded together, everything else gets tossed into it’s proper basket.

I fold my wash right out of the dryer, except underwear(they get folded in half) and socks all go in a basket. I also sort by person and stack in piles. It would be great if I could just leave it like that. I need help getting them to their drawers. If only they could walk there:)

(I sure wish this site would remember my information!)

To save time, and because I can’t have a W/D where I live, I pay the nice ladies at the laundromat to do my wash for me. But I ended up refolding everything anyway, because I’m so darn particular.

I loooove my undies folded into those cute little packages!

I absolutely refuse to fold socks or jammies for the very same reasons…

I hang up everything except underwear, sweaters & pajamas. You can hang up 3 shirts on hangers in the time it takes to neatly fold one.It is easier for my kids to keep something on a hanger in their closets than neatly folded in the drawers. Hanging up clothes also keeps them wrinkle-free (unless you have so many clothes that you are cramming them in; in that case you probably ought to sort through them and take some to charity).
