Organize: Laundry

It's the area in your home where so much becomes clean- whites get brighter, linens get crisper, and stains disappear. The best most effective laundry room is itself tidy and well kept. With a few easy systems and devices, plus a small stash of multitasking products, even a cluttered corner for dirty clothes will be transformed into a streamlined, clean attractive laundry room. 
baskets, bins, and boxes
Label- Small items, such as sewing kits and lint rollers, can be put in labeled baskets on shelves to keep the, from getting dusty or misplaced.
Store- Under-sink storage is a good place to stow cleaning products (away from little hands)

hangers, clothespins, hooks
Hang- Clothes that are air-dried on hangers are less likely to shrink and will have fewer wrinkles to iron out later
Attach- Clothespins help you evenly clip items such as bed linens to a clothesline
Hook- Clothing that needs to be steamed can be hung on a hook on a wall, which will keep the item from swinging and free both hands to do the job.

clothesline
Conceal- A clothesline is ideal for clothes and bedding that require full or partial air drying. Get a retractable one that can be installed unobtrusively on a wall.
