Day 19 - Laundry Room
Laundry areas come in all shapes and sizes! Some of you may have your washer and dryer in a closet, some outside in your garage or carport area, and some of you have a spacious laundry room! It does not matter what your space looks like. You can take steps to declutter & organize today!
The goal is to create a functional space that helps you make the most of your time.
Take everything out but the appliances!
Clean the appliances thoroughly.
Clean the insides, the outsides, and don’t forget to clean behind them!
Read your manuals for proper cleaning instructions. If you can’t find the paper manuals, look it up online!
Sort everything you took from the laundry room.
Trash
Throw away broken things, trash, empty containers, dryer lint, etc.
If you don’t have a trash container of some sort in or near your laundry room, add one!
If you’re not in the habit of emptying the dryer lint filter after each load - get there!
This will prevent fires & help your clothes dry quicker!
Relocate
Get rid of things that should not be in the laundry area. Put them where they belong.
Keep
Group like items.
Use baskets or bins to store like items.
Put it back neatly!
Wipe down the detergent and cleaner bottles before putting them back.
Keep items you use more frequently towards the front.
Make a list of anything you need to replenish.
Maintain
If possible, keep the tops of your washer and dryer clutter free by making sure everything has a home.
Keep the appliances wiped down as needed.
Put cleaners, detergents, and other laundry items back where they go.
Don’t allow stray items that don’t belong in your laundry area to pile up!
