keeping on top of laundry

I don’t know about you, but I find it tough going trying to keep on top of my family’s laundry.

I mean; it’s a relentless job, isn’t it? Four seconds after you have finally reached the bottom of the laundry basket, it’s already filling up again.

I mean; between the washing and hanging and folding and putting away, it’s like a whole ful-time gig, isn’t it?

If this sounds all too familiar to you, we are sure you are going to love this mum’s clever idea as much as we do:

Say hello to the ‘folding cube’ – one for each member of your family, and the solution that might just make your life a little stressful, mama.

Jesika Mullns in an Australian mother who one day had a bit of lightbulb moment when it comes to her family’s laundry.

“I came up with this super easy solution,” Mullns explains to Kidspot.

“Folding cubes. Each person in the house has a cube. Whatever folding I get done at the time goes into their cube. Then it’s easy enough to just grab a cube and take to their room to put away when I have a few spare minutes. There’s also a basket for odd socks, so hopefully, they can be reunited with their partner.”

Mullns explains that the clever system has been working well for her family for over six months now.

“And everyone knows that when they run out of undies to check their cube.”

Even better?

“And when I get totally behind I just chuck unfolded clothes into each cube, then it’s not as overwhelming when it comes to folding as it’s just one cube at a time.”
