Set up a sorting system at the source
A multi-bin hamper (lights, darks, delicates) in a bedroom or laundry area reduces sorting time on wash day and prevents color-bleeding accidents.
Use vertical space for supplies
Wall-mounted shelving or a pegboard above the washer and dryer keeps detergent, stain remover, and dryer sheets accessible without cluttering the top of the machines.
Add a folding surface if possible
Even a small pull-out shelf or a portable folding board makes a meaningful difference in how manageable laundry feels, compared to folding on a bed or the floor.
