Currently I have my bathroom next to the laundry room. I can't do what I have in mind in this apartment, but one day I would like to.
1. Make three slots (whites, colors, baby clothes) in higher part of the wall between the bathroom and the laundry room.
2. Get three high plastic boxes. Set one below every slot. Make a big hole at lower part of every box. That's a washing queue for every kind of clothing.
3. Place a combo washer dryer below boxes to make loading efficient. Place also something like washing powder dispenser right above the detergent drawer of the machine.
4. Use the laundry room also as a walk-in closet. So you can hang clothes straight from the machine.
Sorting is done by slots. Instead of folding use cloth hangers. Ironing is mostly done by the dryer.
- windowsworkstoo 9y agoGiven everything comes pre washed, stretched and colour fast, who still bothers separating clothes these days....I do towels and linen separate to clothes at best and not even consistently
- dbg31415 9y agoBecause you still want to bleach your whites. Sheets, towels, t-shirts from the gym... bleach goes all over that stuff, and it smells great! (And yeah, anyone who doesn't have white towels is doing it wrong. Eww, can you imagine all the filthy on a towel that hasn't been bleached?!) Separate cloths by colour, and by type (glad you're doing half of that already!)... you wouldn't wash jeans with dress shirts... let the machine's auto-sense take care of the quantity / duration issues.

- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoI separate synthetics because the dryer damages them and I don't want to do it when they're a wet mess.
- dpark 9y agoI separate my clothes. I separate some because I’m going to hang them and it’s easier to separate while dry. I separate others because they have wildly different levels of durability and ruggedness. I don’t want my jeans abraiding my button ups.
