As a working mom, I tend to put clothes washing before I leave for the office with intentions of drying and folding the batch when I get home. It should be a time-saver.
It becomes a big ole nuisance when I forget the batch of clothes in the washer and have to re-wash it all due to a dingy smell.
I came up with a little system that helps me remember that I need to take care of pre-work laundry.
I printed these nifty little magnets on store-bought magnet paper (office supply section of your favorite store).
I keep one on the side of the washer, out of sight, and I leave the appropriate magnet right in front as a reminder.
This system could also work for the dishwasher and dryer.
Great idea. Unfortunately, I would probably need to put the magnet on my forehead to really remember. :) The fact that the laundry room door closes provides a rather easy excuse.
ReplyDeleteI remember YEARS ago, my mom had 2 magnets like that. They were reversible, 1 magnet for feeding pets and 1 for dishes. Though I have no idea where they came from, and my mom NEVER actually used them, I thought they were so neat. I've been thinking I need some like that for the dishwasher specifically.
