Tired of going from room to room sorting laundry? There’s an easy way to put an end to it. Place a hamper in each person’s bedroom. If people share a room and things need to be separated due to detergent sensitivities or color issues place two hampers or a split hamper in the shared bedroom. Outfits will stay together. Less things will get misplaced and end up in the wrong drawers or closet. It’s also easier to pick up a hamper and carry it to the laundry room than it is to sort everyone’s clothes from one hamper and then carry what you’ve picked out to the laundry room.

I was surfing and found a website with a product called Sock Sacs. A Sock Sac is a big washable mesh bag. There are give colors available, so members of families can each have a different color. At the end of the day the user puts dirty socks and underwear into the Sock Sac. On wash day the Sock Sac, with the socks and underwear still inside, goes through the washer and dryer. Once the clean garments are taken out the Sock Sac is empty and ready to use again. In our house this would be the perfect thing to manage weekly laundry because we always seem to have socks missing and because hubby and my oldest son are almost the same size and my son doesn’t have any interest in sharing his underwear. Sock Sacs are located at SockSacs.com. I’m sure there’s a way to make your own version of this too. This was not a paid post. It’s just something I thought was neat to help separate, wash, dry, sort socks and underwear.
