Laundry Sorting - Get the Family Involved

Wednesday January 14, 2009
Sorting the laundry and unbundling dirty sock cuffs isn't the nicest part about doing laundry nor is emptying mysterious pockets. It always amazes me to find things like fish hooks, not-so-wiggly worms or sharp nails in some of these garment recesses. But this is all part of the laundry process if you want a really clean wash. And too often this laundry-sorting task is left to only one person, when the whole family can help. After all, everyone needs to learn basic laundry skills and the earlier the better. Make laundry sorting a family affair at your home and you'll foster a team spirit while teaching basic life skills. You'll also have more time to do other (more pleasurable) things.
