How do you store clean washing?

I used to have a lovely big airing cupboard but since moving house this one doesn't have one big enough to house all our towels etc.

I don't know where to store them... At the moment all the clean washing just lives on the spare bed but it's piled high like a mountain and I don't know where to put it all.

Bother, didn't mean to post then!

We have bedding stored in the relevant room either under bed or in the wardrobe. The towels are all kept on open shelves in the bathroom, tea towels (for which I have a habit) are ironed to take up less space and kept in the kitchen.

If you do get rid of stuff, remember to bag it up and mark it as rags and give it to your local favourite charity shop as they get money for recycling material, so you can glow with having done good as well as tackling your storage problem Smile

I think most of his issue has nothing to do with the towels IssyStark

This job was never meant to turn into what it has now become and I don't think he likes me working away as he had to look after the dc and be in charge and do all 'my jobs'. (He is from a very traditional family where mum is at home and dad goes to work).
We did discuss moving across the country (to where I work) but my job isn't stable and isn't all year round so could potentially end tomorrow and until we know figures etc we never know if we'll be back doing it again or not!

Poor him. Hmm
I don't think any of us sign up for anything, but have to make do with what we are dealt with.
If he decides to be wasteful about things like towels, then he should take responsibility over the extra load. Unless he is being particularly obtuse and doing it to "punish" you.

I think I would get rid of a lot of the towels and talk to dh about reusing and putting washes on

He may be from a traditional family but its ridiculous that he won't wash a few

I know this is not really about towels, but the problem is that he has no concept of how much work he's creating because he never does it. Could it not become his job to do a towel wash once a week? Honestly, until he appreciates what a task he is creating, he will not understand why it's a problem. Improving airing facilities of used towels may help a bit.

We use a set of bookshelves inside a wardrobe in the spare bedroom. Can you buy any extra underbed storage?
