Keep up with my laundry

I’m doing a load of laundry right now. It’s been nice to make my bed each morning and put my clothes away each nice, and I feel good getting out a nice clean towel today and throwing my old one in an almost-empty hamper!

Now that I’ve managed to make dish-washing routine, I need to do something about all things cloth. I have a neat little hand-crank laundry machine for small loads, and an ordinary washer for big loads, plus an outdoor clotheslines.

I have extra incentive to do this because my kitten started peeing on dirty laundry. I think it’s because stuff tends to mold in my damp old apartment, and the smell is attractive to little kitties.

To Start:

• Clean out my drawers

Daily Maintenance:

• Put folded laundry away immediately
• Make bed every morning unless partner still sleeping when I leave; if that is the case, make bed when I get home.
• Do not keep any laundry under any table anywhere.
• Every night before bed, put all clothes away.

Weekly to more-than-weekly maintenance:

• Do a little wash of whites every few days
• Wash pants as soon as I notice they’re dirty
• Change sheets and towels every week (or every two weeks)
• Do big wash as soon as my hamper is full, instead of after the entire closet is jam-packed. If it is a Saturday and there is no need for a big wash, do a little wash; this way maybe a big wash will not be needed next week either.
