If you have a first floor laundry, do you have hampers in your bedrooms, the bathroom, the laundry room? And how do you transport the laundry to the laundry room? Laundry basket, carry the hamper or just carry all the dirty clothes? :confused3
 
I have a laundry shoot in my closet :banana: . Everything goes down that and then is sorted into sorting hampers in the laundry room.
 

Laundry is collected/stored where we get changed/dressed. Upstairs. We bring stuff down in baskets when it's wash day.
 
I open the door to the basement and toss it down the stairs...when I do laundry I just pick it up and put it in a basket and toss it in the machine, we don't sort any colors here, we don't have any white items to keep seperate..everything goes in the same time.
 
Laundry chute upstairs for the kids so they can put their clothes down it, but it doesn't work. Their clothes are still all over the floor.

Laundry baskets on the main floor for DH and me. I just carry the basket to the laundry room when it starts to overflow or stink. :thumbsup2
 
Laundry chute. Best invention ever! :)

I have a hanging bar that pulls down from the wall and clothes that get hung are hung there and then moved upstairs. Towels and undies and such are transported in a basket. :)
 
We have laundry baskets/hampers in all bedrooms and bathrooms. When I come upstairs from my shower I bring the dirty laundry from the day before upstairs to the laundry room 'dirty' basket and throw a load in.
 
Our laundry baskets are upstairs. After many collisions and tumbles down the border collie raceway (our staircase) we usually dump the basket over the balcony and gather it up when we go down stairs. Fewer bruises that way. :laundy:
 
we have those cheap, pop up, mesh laundry baskets. one for each bedroom. when it's full it either gets dragged downstairs or thrown over the balcony. then the clothes get washed, dried and folded, put back in the basket to be dragged back up.
 
Oh what I would give for a laundry chute. My washing machine is in the basement.

Outside of my baement door always piles up with dirty clothes from the kids. I have a basket in the upstairs hallway for all of us. Also a few smaller baskets.
 
We have 1 hamper in each closet for our three kids' bedrooms, a hamper in their hall bath, one in our master bath and three hampers in our walk in closet of the master suite. I think we have 5 (maybe 6) laundry baskets that we transport laundry in.

Now what I wouldn't give for a laundry room with two washing machines and two dryers.
 
We have 4 long, tall plastic thingies from Target. They probably hold about 13 gallons, about kitchen trash can size. We sort as we disgard.

Kids have a pop-up hamper (5 year old) and an over the door laundry bag (12 year old). They just throw everything in at once and we sort when we take a pre-sorted tall plastic thingy from our closet.
 
We have a hamper in the master bedroom and laundry baskets in the other bedrooms in the closets. We just carry them to the laundry room and then separate the clothes into a divided hamper that stays in the laundry room.

The clean laundry is taken care of as it comes out of the dryer. We have a hanging bar next to the dryer, so all hanging clothes are hung up right away. Anything that needs to be folded for the dressers gets folded and put into the basket for that person and then the baskets go back with the clean clothes to be put away and then it starts all over again. :crazy: How can 3 people have so much laundry????

I just have to say I am so glad my laundry room is on the 2nd floor. :teeth:

That is my income tax project for this year, I am moving the laundry room form the basement to an unused main floor bedroom. We have 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor that no one even uses and one on the main floor that is unused so I am going to have gas lines run, 220 outlets put in and make it a laundry room.
