Leaving the laundry to build up all week means you might spend all Saturday washing, drying and folding. Organization experts offer these tips for keeping your dirty clothes under control throughout the week so that you can spend your weekends enjoying life.
Invest in a pair of laundry baskets or lidded bins that are easy to carry and fit in your closet or wherever you dress. If they’re exposed to the room, look for elegant or colorful baskets with lids to blend in as decorative accents. Use one to toss dirty clothes and the other to collect the dry-cleaning.
On Monday, grab the dry-cleaning basket and throw it in the car to drop off on your way to work. On Tuesday, pop a load in the washer from the other basket or bin before you head out the door. Then, place it in the dryer when you arrive home. Listen for the dryer buzzer so you can slip in and hang or fold items immediately so that they don’t wrinkle.
After work Wednesday, pick up the dry-cleaning and move it directly into the closet when you get home. Then use Thursday morning to wash the sheets and towels and repeat the steps from Tuesday: listening for the buzzer after putting the towels and sheets in the dryer, then folding them and putting them away immediately.
Use glass jars to hold powdered laundry soaps so that you always know when you need to buy more. Instead of dryer sheets, invest in silicone or alpaca dryer balls you can reuse indefinitely. If your laundry room doesn’t have a hanging bar, add an over the door or wall-mounted rack so that drip-dry clothing hangs near the washer for easy access. Rotate empty hangers back into the laundry room so that they’re always handy.
Finally, spend your Friday night enjoying friends and your weekend relaxing or visiting open houses with your real estate agent.
Welcome to Long Island Living at its best! The South Shore of Suffolk County is a suburban area that runs along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Homes in this area consist of primarily residential properties. This area tends to be diverse in culture and income as it varies by hamlet, village or town. Residents along the South Shore have access to many beaches, parks and recreational activities. I pride myself on my honesty, integrity, hard work and personal service. My first career was in education, starting as a teacher then finishing as a guidance counselor and achieving my Master’s and two PD's. In 1986, I began my real estate career. In a sense, I am still an educator and offering guidance; this time I am outside of the classroom educating my clients on the selling and purchasing processes; which have become so complicated recently and guiding them safely through the confusing and ever-changing real estate market. It is very satisfying to me to help people with not only the greatest financial asset in their lives but their greatest emotional asset; where they celebrate holidays, raise their families and live their lives. I take the needs of my clients very seriously and as a result, I am proud to say, over 90% of my sales are the result of referrals and recommendations. Primarily, my areas of service are the Townships of Babylon and Islip on Long Island’s beautiful South Shore, near pristine beaches and wonderful boating, yet only 55 minutes from Manhattan; truly the best of both worlds. I'm a graduate of the Real Estate Institute and am certified as a Senior Real Estate Specialist. I also hold a license as a Notary Public. Please feel free to call or visit so I can help you fulfill your real estate dreams.
