DD says she needs a chairdrobe because it's gross to put worn clothes in the wardrobe

or into drawers. And I reply if they are clean enough to be worn again they should go in the wardrobe.

I might not practise what I preach but I am right. Aren't I?

I've learned a new word - love 'chairdrobe' and I'm with DD! However my daughter has always used the bedroom floordrobe!

I used to have a chairdrobe but now me and the kids have our own wicker baskets where worn but not dirty clothes go neatly folded. They are really handy and look nice too. I can't put worn clothes in a drawer or wardrobe

I cannot get my head around the mentality that something is clean enough to be worn, but not clean enough to hang beside other clothes. 🤯

I agree with your daughter, I never put worn stuff in a drawer or wardrobe.

I have “The Chair” too but only if I plan to wear next day. Otherwise it’s in the wash because the mess would annoy me - I do put woolly jumpers back in the bed drawer though because they ruin if washed too much.

I agree with your DD. Semi-dirties go on the chair.

I've got a drawer that my 'worn once and doesn't need a wash' clothes go in.
I often forget about it and lose things in there so it's always a nice surprise to go 'THERE it is!'

How about a valet stand like www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/grundtal-valet-stand-stainless-steel-30219455/. I would never put worn clothes in with clean!

I have a section of the wardrobe which is previously worn clothes only, separate from unworn

Works well, but you need to put up pomanders to keep moths away, they like worn clothes.

Yabu .
Partly worn clothes need a chairdrobe or hooks on the back of the door.

Known as the inbetweeny cleany clothes in our house that all go on the chair in the corner 😂

Sorry OP, another one who agrees with your daughter. I have hooks on the back of the bedroom door rather than a chair-robe because clothes on chairs annoy me. I do love Iseethesilverlining‘s valet stand though.

Well, but what does everyone do with their winter coat and smart woollen jackets then? They don't go in the wash, so where do people put them between dry cleans? I hang them on the back of the door for a day to air, then into the wardrobe they go!

These clothes are for the hooks in the bathroom

Would you put a used towel in a pile of clean ones?

No because towels get WET so go on towel rail to be used next day and in wash once a week (whole other thread )

We're talking about clothes that have been worn but are not dirty or smelly.

I'm with you OP. I have managed to put clothes back in wardrobe after wearing for over 40 years and never had moths. My DP collects piles of clothes at his side of the bed and it drives me crazy. It's like living with a manky teenager

Why can't she have a chair there are some nice ones

If you'd read the thread @Choccylips you'd know she does have a chairdrobe

So, if you wear a pair of jeans on a Sunday and then are at work all week. Do you leave them lying on a chair all week or is everyone washing after one wear for fear of putting near clean clothes??

I don't understand YOU

@MacBlank - okay - no problem

I bet you're the one who puts sweet wrappers back in the bag

No.

Or used matches back in the box

Guilty!

I think she's right too. I also think that if the clothes are neatly on the chair you're winning

I agree, not because the part worn clothes would contaminate but because I need to know which ones have been worn. If they're in the wardrobe I'd think they were clean.

So clothes that are worn once shouldn't go back in the wardrobe. They must be hung on a chair.

So if you wear the same article again, do they have to go on a different chair?

Also, what happens if you want to sit in the chair while wearing clean clothes? Does that mean cross-contamination too?

because I need to know which ones have been worn

I just smell them (it's also how I decide whether to wash something). Is that gross?

With your DD. Like the idea of those ladder things, or even a proper short clothesrail/rack, like you used to get in hotels. Are they called valet stands..?

I've always had a chair to put worn once clothes on. This chair has always been The One for me:
