How would you organise my washing?

[AnotherMonkey]

When I take my washing off the dryer, here's what I have:

4 x piles of washing to go straight into drawers (me, DH, DD, DS)

1 x pile of ironing which I do

1 x pile of ironing for the ironing company (due to a long-standing men-don't-iron-yes-they-bloody-do stalemate between me and DH)

1 x pile of sheets and towels

At the moment, I have a basket for each ironing pile and one where everything else gets balanced haphazardly. But it's not ideal as things get jumbled by the second wash. I can't have 7 different baskets.

Has anyone got any better ideas? I ideally need to be able to do a couple of washes before I need to take it upstairs; with storage to keep it tidy, separate and easy to transport when I'm ready!

Ideas needed.....!!

Oh how exiting I have a hot press (just always called it an airing cupboard) sounds like a new thing now.

I also have a DP who irons. Very definitely an alpha male, 22 years in the army kinda guy. I wash he irons - I have no idea what your DH is on about with this "men don't iron" malarky.

I have several washing baskets for dry clothes once they come off the clothes airers. One basket is a mix of dh/my clothes and another is a mix of dd/ds's clothes - these clothes are for chests of drawers. Clothes that need to be hung in the wardrobe are put on hangers from the airer and then hang on hooks on the door of the room the airers are in until such time as they get put away.

Every so often I will take hung washing to the wardrobes they belong in and will take the basket of clothes to be put in the chests of drawers. I sort the mixed basket of dd/ds clothes into another 2 baskets just before they get put away as it saves having multiple baskets sitting about full taking up space.

I skip the storing clean clothes stage as well. Here we have a dirties basket which lives in the bathroom. Once that get full, wash goes on, dried in the drier, out and folded (usually by DH) into a clean massive reusable bag which DH then lugs upstairs immediately to put into each persons wardrobe.
In our household the women (well DD and I) don't iron DH is an 'alpha male' petrol head, fixer upper, 'blokes don't cry', traditional sorta guy whose mum did everything for him when he lived at home. But he irons his own work shirts and irons all my stuff as well
