Laundry may not be the most eruditious of topics, but to not address this topic would be remiss.   Laundry is a chore.  When you live in a household with a two children, two teenagers, and a spouse busy working, then laundry is a chore that is a way of life.

There are a few useful things to know about laundry:

1. The first principle of doing laundry is to avoid backlog.
2. Every member of a household should have a different colour for their socks, and their socks should always be the same.
3. No member of a household should have more than a 7 to 10 supply of socks and underwear.  If you have more than a 7 to 10 supply of smalls it only encourages people to wait too long to wash their clothes, thus creating a backlog.
4. Every member of the household should be assigned one laundry basket, unless they share a room, then they can share a basket.
5. Clothes should only be in one of three places:  On a body, in a laundry basket, or in drawer.  This rule should be enforced vigorously and without compromised, especially in the bathroom.
6. Laundry should only ever be washed one laundry basket at a time.  Once you start mixing clothes, you create backlog.
7. Once a basket of laundry has been washed, it should be hung up to dry.  Once dry it should be put away immediately.
8. While laundry is being washed and dried, dirty clothes should be left in the spot the laundry basket is usually sat
9. While sorting laundry, you have a good opportunity get rid of old clothes, or clothes you don’t like
10. The person who does the laundry gets executive decision making in regards to what is old and needs to be disposed of.  If you don’t like it, do your own damn laundry.

I don’t know if there is much more to say on the subject, but I hope these tips help.
