I keep seeing photos of organized laundry rooms. Apartment Therapy had a feature about them today. And they all contain something we don't have in our laundry room, except for a few minutes at a time: hampers.
Our hampers are in the rooms where we actually take off our clothes. When we want to wash the clothes, we put them in a laundry basket and bring them down to the basement, where we immediately put them in the washing machine. We keep the laundry baskets upstairs so we don't have to make an extra trip downstairs to get them. Do most people store dirty clothes in their laundry room before washing them?
We do the same thing you do -- our hamper is in the bedroom. But my parents did keep an additional three-part hamper in the laundry room for a while when I was growing up. There was one part for whites, one for colors, and one for dark colors. I think the idea was that multiple baskets of laundry could be sorted before washing, or stored if there weren't enough, say, whites for a full load yet.
