Laudering

The first time my parents showed my how to do the laundry I thought it was punishment but I realized that by knowing how to maintain my clothes I can maintain my sanity. Have you ever watched a sitcom and the spouse (yes the husband) was lost without his wife helping him find a black sock, a clear shirt, or a decent sweater? This does happen so as part of the family home training for each generation the child must learn how to do his/her laundry. Here are basic tools for the laundry room:

1) Cabinets-to keep your bleach, detergent, fabric softener, and spot remover.
2) Chair-make sure its comfortable.
3) Dryer-it should be energy efficient.
4) Ironing board.
5) Washer-energy efficient is key.

I know of families with multiple children so they spends hours doing the laundry and require a couch and television but when I reach that point I'll let you know.
