Maintaining Your Sanity

Keeping Your Home Organized Pt.3

Finally, the last stages of maintaining your organization… and you thought this section would never come!

Maintaining the Laundry

I recommend doing laundry daily, depending on the size of your family. If you have at least 3 kids, do some every day. For example: baby laundry is handled differently than adult laundry. You shouldn’t use fabric softener for baby laundry, but it’s fine to use with adults’ clothes. So choose a day to do only baby laundry. Choose a different day to do adult laundry. Do your oldest child’s laundry on a given day (maintain that day on a weekly basis), your next child’s laundry the following day, etc. If you keep up on it, it won’t become a Mt. Vesuvius and overwhelm your home again.

If you find laundry tedious, sort and pre-treat while you’re watching TV, for example. It takes moment to pluck a piece of clothing out and check it for stains, squirt it with pre-treater, and then put it in the dirty basket, ready for the wash. Folding can be done the same way. Once it’s folded, I recommend putting it on the recipient’s bed (not in the basket). This way, it must be put away before retiring for the night and you won’t live from a laundry basket full of clean clothes.

If you have th


hings that need ironing, do it when the laundry is clean and hang it up. Be done with the task and make sure that clean, ready-to-wear shirts or blouses are smiling at you when you walk in the closet in the morning.

This is easier said than done, I understand. But what I’ve discovered is that if you put your home on a schedule, things won’t overwhelm you. You’ll know that vacuuming will be done on one day and that laundry will be done on another. You’ll not resent walking in to the bathroom, because it will make you smile to see a shiny sink when you turn on the light. And you’ll know that YOU are special enough to have a clean bathroom, not just the company that comes to visit.

You’ll have peace of mind knowing that if a package comes to your door, you won’t kill yourself getting to it and won’t be ashamed to throw the door open for the UPS guy or mail carrier.

Most of all, you’ll have the appreciation of your family, and you’ll know that you’re setting up good habits for your children to observe and repeat in their own homes. No matter what the Mastercard ads say, THAT is priceless.
