What I do for a family of two is….
I have bathrobes and hang dry them In our bathroom when not in use. I would go with 100 cotton or terrycloth robes. It could be pricey but you will not be doing so much laundry.

It has always been a problem of mine when my dirty clothes start to pile up. I guess you have a point about washing my clothes when just necessary such as if a shirt was just used 2-3 times, then that’s time to finally wash it. Although I am a clean freak, maybe I’d just look for a laundry shop that may address this concern.

Well I think it would be better if you put your clothes group, because it won’t create any sorts of confusion on what you are washing and what has left. Create a list of all clothes that are need to be washed and washing them daily or schedule will save you from load of washing and you might save time as well.

Thanks Ernestine. That makes a lot of sense. Some of us absolutely do have habits for cleanliness that are over the top, myself included. I’m ready to change that though! I’ll start keeping a dedicated rack for airing clothes out and keep deodorizing sachets in my storage systems so I don’t feel as much of an impulse to clean things that would otherwise get musty but haven’t even been soiled.

Stop folding! Put them right back on the bed!

Wearing anything 5-10 times before you wash it is gross. 2-3 times is doable for some things, but I would never wear anything 5 times before washing it, much less 10. Just ewww. And reusing towels is even worse. If not hung correctly they don’t dry well. Even if used right out of the shower you are still going to scruff up skin cells. I don’t want to possibly dry my face with the same area of a towel that dried my behind the day before. Again, just ewww.

Spray your sheets with a mixture of essential oils and water. Lavender is great. I helps you sleep and smells wonderful.

I have 10 year old twins and a husband, (see how I grouped them together?), and for the love of all things Holy, we have a load of towels to do every single day! We have places to hang them, after use, but I have no idea why they use so many in the first place! I find them on the bathroom floor, our bed, in a wet lump on the couch… the longer they stay damp, the more I need to wash them. I tried designating specific towel color to each person, but they just “forget,” or whatever excuse they have… oh, or they take their towel off a hook, and others fall down on the floor. Craziness! I am scared to use a towel just hanging on the door because I don’t know where it’s been! Hmmmm… I’m getting some ideas, but we done have a lot of wall space for hooks or bars, so some are on our bedroom door… is it worth having a crazy looking bathroom with bars in weird places? Get rid of hooks and just use bars, How do towels best dry before the next day?

Thanks for the info. Now tell us, we spend time washing and folding bedsheets and pillow cases. They smell so clean and fresh when removed from the drier! Then after a couple of weeks in the cabinet they start to get funky smelling….enough so that I often end up rewashing before putting the pillow cases on! What a waste of time, money, resources and energy! Sachets and drier sheets in the storage area seem to have limited effect. Thank goodness for my sheet mister (I would prefer a natural alternative since my face will be buried in it 8 hours a day) or just a way to keep that clean smell. Who can sleep with a smelly pillow case??! Help Melissa!

I totally go by these time frames for washing things. Let your clothes air out for a few days before deciding if they need washing or not, and then do the sniff test and check for stains. If they are good, they go back in my closet! I too have friends that cannot fathom wearing anything that wasn’t freshly washed. I assure you, I do not smell! Underwear, socks,and workout clothes are definitely washed after each wearing. It’s like you read my mind!
