- Sort Dirty Laundry
I often sort dirty laundry into like colors. (I tend to wash: greens, blues, oranges and yellows. pinks, reds, purples. whites and light tans. Blacks, browns, dark tans, and grays.) In my photo above, I have sorted the brown, black, and gray clothes of my toddler and preschooler together from their other dirty clothes.
One thing I like to do when I am putting away laundry that I feel makes laundry easier is taking the time to sort into piles. If I wash my kids clothing together, I take the time to separate each child's clothing into their own pile. Besides sorting whose clothing, I sort and fold like things. For example, when I am putting cloth diapering items away, I group the inserts, pre-folds, cloth diapers and my preschooler's underwear into separate piles. Once everything is sorted and folded, I am able to put it away easier and faster. When I have multiple trips to deliver clothes into rooms, once I've sorted and made piles, I like to put the folded clothes into a basket to help carry them to the room I am putting them away in. In my photo above I have a picture of them sorted and next to it is another picture is of sorted item in a small laundry basket.
- Sorting & Stuff Cloth Diapers
After I have all my cloth diapers laundry sorted and ready to be put away, I can take some diapers aside and use that time to stuff my pocket cloth diapers. By stuffing a few of them now, I will have cloth diapers already ready to go for diaper changes.
For example, I stuffed two diapers. I set aside 2 cloth diapers, 3 inserts and 1 pre-fold. I am stuffing the yellow cloth diaper with 2 inserts and the red one with 1 insert and 1 pre-fold. I have photos below of my cloth diapers stuffed. Now I have 2 cloth diapers that are ready to use. Above I have a photo of the cloth diapers set aside and below I have a photo of them stuffed.
