[quote=Anonymous]I taught my kids how to wash at age 8, and by age 10 they were completely on their own, deciding when they needed to wash.

We used the white wire basket system in their closets, so 1 wire drawer for socks, 1 for shirts, 1 for shorts, etc. They just threw them in. While the Tshirts and school polo shirts were a little wrinkled, I noticed after an hour they looked fine.

I bought them each 2 multi packs of matching socks, different from each other, so every sock matched. I kept a pair of dress socks separately for nice occasions.

They didn't separate by colors either, and the white shirts were still white, not dingy. I made sure to wash any new items that were red or blue separately, so no pink shirts.

I heard friends complain how long laundry takes to sort, wash/dry then separate and fold. My way we skipped the sort, separate and fold. And no mixing of clothes in the washer for more than one person. This was the easiest chore ever. All I had to do were my own clothes.[/quote]
