Ask Lemmy

The floor behind my chair.

I know, I'm a god of anti-clutter and organization. AMA.

On my floordrobe.

The Chair™

I just put things back in my closet. Eventually I'm too lazy to do that and throw it in the laundry bin. I live in a mostly cold climate though where I don't sweat excessively. I have the same routine in the summer but end up wearing things once, maybe twice depending on how much I've sweat

Hooks on the back of the bedroom door.

The laundry chair (tm)

Floor of the closet near my hamper. I also set out my next day clothes there. Keeps from waking my wife by opening drawers in the morning.

I turn the hanger backwards and put them to one side of the closet rack.

On a dedicated chair set aside just for that

Funny you should ask. Simone Giertz has a whole project specifically for solving this problem.

I have a separate laundry basket by the bed.

Hang them so the clothes can still air out but keep them separate from the 100% clean clothes e.g. section off part of a closet or use a different closet or rack or anything you can put clothes hangers on.

I also throw them over my computer chair. If not the computer chair, I throw them over the overhead shelf in my closet or the other computer chair.

On my clothes chair.

Hooks on the wall of my closet.

Bamboo ladder. Before that: the chair.

On the floor next to my bed, or if I'm feeling less lazy I'll set it on the dresser next to the bed.

Eh just bring another chair

On the clean cloths chair

I heard someone remark once that "If it's clean enough to put back on your body, it's clean enough to be put back" and that changed how I look at things

Although in practice, I either hang stuff up on hooks on the back of my bedroom door, toss things on The Chair, or use half-dirty laundry to cover up the shame of the unused exercise equipment. Old habits are hard to break I guess

Coatrack

I fold them and set them on a dresser or in a drawer, depending on how soon I'm going to wear them. Shirts I hang up with the hanger facing the "wrong" way to indicate to myself that one's already been worn once.

I hang them up on one side of the closet

Hang or fold them on the left end of closet to indicate they are worn but not dirty or stinky. It has greatly increased how long my work slacks and other clothing that tends to fade or wear from washing last.

If I can throw it at the wall and it doesn't stick I just put it back on.

Bedpost.

I have command strip hooks on the front and side of my wardrobe I hang them from.

In a separate closet (shirts are best on hangers; fewer wrinkles and smells can air out) or on a towel rack (for things that get folded, like jeans). If I don't have access to that I sometimes use a cardboard box just to keep things off the floor.

if it's clean enough for me to consider it half-clean I'm probably still wearing it, and it's probably jeans or a jacket.

I have a short, wide basket for clean clothes and a tall skinny round basket for dirty. Clothes that are still pretty much clean (think a flannel I just washed and wore over a T-shirt for an evening) normally get tossed back into the clean basket for "eventual" folding and putting away. Clothes that are more on the dirty side but don't need to be washed right away (mostly pants or shirts that were only worn for a quick outing) will get draped on the side of the dirty basket.

Towards the front of my dresser drawers, or on a reversed hanger in the closet, depending on the type of clothes.

If I keep it all on my bedstand, I can go maybe three days wearing it. Currently on the third day of a grey raccoon sweater, yellow plaid shirt, and a dark skirt because there are technical difficulties with the washing.

Semi-used clothes bin inside closet of course!
