And anything that cuts down on laundry is obviously genius. 🙂 It sounds really cute, too.

I put a small decorative metal bucket on their dressers and filled it with clothes pins. When they undress, they throw the dirty clothes in a hamper and hang the "still clean enough to wear again" on the rope with a clothes pin. The reason this works better than hooks is that you can add as many pins as you need and don't have to hang things on top of other things. They then choose clothing from the rope in the morning before going to their dressers. I love this system and so do they AND it cuts down on laundry!

I hate dealing with clothes on the floor. And I feel like I am always dealing with clothes on the floor. Next is to figure out a magical way to keep my teenager's clothes off the floor, LOL!

I don't have the problem of clean clothes being pulled out and lying on the floor (still pick most of my daughter's clothes with her), but I'm going to use one of these for all the clothes that can be worn again so they don't pile up on the floor! She can wear them again on weekends or the following week and I don't have to deal with clothes on the floor. LOVE IT! Thanks 🙂

And we did clean out my daughter's closet completely this summer, but OY! It gets cluttered up again quickly. But I think this is a great idea. 🙂
