Laundry Schedule (And Organization) For Mom Of 6

by Taylor
(Household Management 101)

Every household manager needs to figure out a laundry schedule that works for their family.

I found this family's laundry schedule recently on the web, and wanted to share it with you.

It is a family of 8, with 6 kids ages 11 to 1.

What has worked for this Mom of 6 is to give each person a laundry basket for their room, and then also assign each person a laundry day.

Doing each person's laundry separately makes it easier for her to know whose clothes are whose, so it is easier to return them to their rightful owner at the end of the laundry cycle.

I generally recommend that when you have small kids that you don't need laundry baskets in each persons' room, and to wash all the clothes together because you can sort laundry into big enough loads easier.

She has done the exact opposite -- but it works for her, so I say go for it.

There is more than one way to get your laundry in order, and no way is right or wrong. What matters is whether it works for you.

To see this Mom of 6's full plan for laundry organization check out Simply Grand Central.

She also has a great tip on how she got rid of her dressers to better organize all her kids clothes.
