FEATURE Or Not to Sort Some families have eliminated the sorting step altogether. Sara Sinani, mother of three, skips sorting her children’s clothes. “I wash all my kids clothes without sorting. Each kid has his own basket that way I can keep their socks separated.” Mom of three, Angela Leever, uses the same method. “Every kid has a hamper in their own room and I wash everyone’s things separately. It goes from their own basket to washer, dryer, and I put it right back in their room.” Sorting the laundry into piles based on color, then back into stacks for each family member takes a lot of time. By implementing this method, families can eliminate the frustration of making sure things are returned to the proper owner and shorten the time they spend handling the laundry. 7
