Not clean/not dirty clothes solution?

[HappyHealthy23]

We've recently moved house. Our new bedroom is quite small, but does have a walk-in wardrobe.
I'm debating dedicating a small shelf in the wardrobe to those clothes that are not actually clean, because you've worn them, but also not dirty enough to go in the washing basket. Things like jogging bottoms, that I only wear around the house.
In our old bedroom, we had the Chair of Doom, but new bedroom is a bit too small to fit any more furniture than is strictly necessary.

Having a shelf in the wardrobe seems slightly mingerish though. Will the non-clean clothes infect the actual clean clothes with their Odour of Worn, even if they have their own shelf? 🤔
Is there a better solution that I'm not thinking of? What do you do?

(Those of you who wash everything immediately after wearing it probably don't need this thread. Leave us Slight Mingers to it. )

I have something similar to This for worn but not dirty clothes.

Sounds like a good idea, but I just hang mine on the left with a slight gap between them and the unworn clothes. Not because I am worried about germs or anything, it just means I know which ones I have worn so don't wear again too soon.

I have a little shelf but it's in the open, I think a shelf inside the wardrobe is fine. I do smell test things when I take them off, so I only put them on there if they still smell OK anyway.

This is the very opposite of the worn-but-clean shelf to me! I try to wear stuff again ASAP so that she shelf does not build up with hundreds of things. If I'm not likely to wear it again within a week or so I put it straight in the wash even if it still seems fine.

I have hooks on the front of the wardrobe door. Things are supposed to go there for a day to air, and then either back into the wardrobe/drawer if they smell clean, or in the wash if you don’t. In practice it tends to be foe several days until I run out of hooks.

Wrought iron bed frame, high foot end, lots of twirly bits. Don't think it's ever been entirely clear!

I have one of these hanging over my bathroom door for this purpose.

Isn't that what lavender bags were for in days gone by when washing was a chore?

Ikea have a bed frame with a rail at the foot end specially for this! It's the one called Gjöra

Dedicated shelf is a brilliant idea.

Chair of Doom! Confession time: we have one each - a His and a Hers. How do these things happen? 😂

Why would I need to remember how many times I've worn them? Clothes don't suddenly go "off" after two wears!

They are either clean when I take them off (no marks, no smells - back into the wardrobe), or they're not (straight into the laundry basket). Then the next time I wear that item - repeat.

A skirt might be fine for ten wears. A white tee-shirt probably won't get past one.

Washing them is less minging.

I have a rack for this… at least they breathe. My husband ignores this and uses the bathroom floor and next to his side of the bed. Of course he doesn’t re-use his clothes either. They eventually get carried away by the laundry fairy and turn up folded on the end of the bed.

Hook/rack on doors - bedroom door, bathroom door if you have ensuite

I prefer to hang them. Gives them a chance to air.

I hang them on overdoor hooks in the bathroom. The stuff that is 'better' (there is no way to explain this logic) goes back in the wardrobe but on the right hand side at the edge. Mending gets washed first then goes in a tote bag to be abandoned for two years when I do it all in a lump. White things go from clean laundry basket, worn, then into dirty laundry and never see a clothes hanger. It makes no sense. 🙄

I put mine back in the wardrobe but hang them inside out so I remember they've already had 1 wear. Except for jeans, they get many many wears

In my wardrobe, I put ‘clean, clean’ clothes on the left hand side of my wardrobe (so the vast majority) and and ‘worn once to do the school run’ clothes to the right. Normally there is just a pair of jeans and the odd t-shirt or jumper on that side. Works for me.

Love the inside out idea.
