Recycling the Laundry!

I have some ideas to take things out of the laundry room and put them to work around the house!

1. Re-use your dryer sheets. They're indispensable all over the house from cleaning electronics, to dusting wood, to cleaning mini blinds, they're lint free and their static cutting power keeps dust away longer!

2. Set a laundry sorter in your garage and use it to easily separate recycling items. The compartments are perfect, and if they get dirty you can just toss them in the washer!

3. Set a laundry basket next to the sorter and lay some twine inside so that it crosses in the middle and drapes over each side. Lay a newspaper in the bin. This way when the bin is full you can simply tie the papers and lift them out. No more struggling to keep papers together while you tie them!

4. Or use old laundry baskets to help you clean up the house. Bring it with you as you move from room to room, collect the items and carry them easily to their destination!

5. Wash out laundry detergent bottles and use them to store and dispense birdseed and pet food. They seal tight and pour easily!
