Do you have a floor-drobe?? (Aka where do your worn but not dirty clothes go?)

[rainbowsandraspberrygin]

Hi wise mumsnetters,

Bit of a weird one - but as the title says really…where do the clothes go that you’ve worn but don’t yet need a wash?

For context I don’t like putting them back in drawers/wardrobe. I’m aware some people may find this strange but I just don’t like it!! Sometimes they smell a bit of cooking, or the bottom of trousers might have been in a puddle. If money was no issue and the world didn’t need saving then I’d happily wash them (love freshly washed clothes!!) - but not the case.

Currently they end up draped over the end of the bed, on a radiator or on the floor!!

any ideas??

I have a chairdrobe

Yep, I work 13 hour shifts and have to go and come home in my own clothes, I change into uniform once I’m at work. So I wear my own clothes of a maximum of 3 hours a day, they get draped over the ottoman and reworn, not a cat in hells chance am I washing clothes after 3 hours of use.

Mine go back in the wardrobe or drawer. Surely if they’re clean enough to be worn again, then they’re clean enough to go in the wardrobe.

I’ve got those over the door hooks but hung on the inside of the wardrobe and that’s where I hang things like this. Don’t have to look at them that way but they’re not in with the newly laundered clothes.

I like this. I might look into it. Might need bigger fo two of us though

No I can’t do it. I guess anything worn for a short period inside. But if I’ve worn for a day or it’s picked up smells then I don’t want it mixing with clean. I have sensitive smell

That’s a good idea

no!! Socks for the wash daily! Same with pants. They’re small enough that it doesn’t matter!

My socks are often only worn for an hour or two a day though, when I layer them up inside wellies or walking boots. I’m not convinced they need to be washed after that! They don’t even smell!

Anything I’ve worn regardless of how long, gets put in the wash basket!
Never do I wear something twice without washing it

Sometimes they smell a bit of cooking, or the bottom of trousers might have been in a puddle.

If it smells, I wash it. If it's wet, I'd put it on the radiator or in the airing cupboard. Everything else goes back in the wardrobe or straight in the wash.

If something of mine smells of food/cooking oil etc it goes in the wash, same if my trousers have puddle water at the bottom of the legs.
If they’re clean enough to wear again they just get hung up in the wardrobe.
Baffled that socks are being reworn though, they take up literally no room in a wash basket/machine/dryer.

Me too!

I have an ottoman too that gets clothes not ready for wash chucked on it. If I have room in the wash they go in, if not they're ready and first in line for the next wear.

I can’t stand clothes just lying around, so we do a load daily of all the worn items.

I've got this mirror KARMSUND black, Standing mirror, 40x167 cm - IKEA UK which has hooks on the back you can hang things on, they are hidden by the mirror, it's so handy as I needed a full length mirror anyway.

Even, like, jeans or a big chunky sweater?

Ditto lol

Really! So you wash jeans, dresses, jackets, cardigans after one wear ? Bizarre!

I have a valet stand. Lots of options to suit your style/needs www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-xiaomi-rvo3&sca_esv=b8f764f539275d3b&sxsrf=AE3TifPECB8aaYf6LV7uxICotw3RqlprsA:1764226431207&q=clothes+valet+stand&uds=AOm0WdE2fekQnsyfYEw8JPYozOKz0kgTtLX69sWwfFzxihubn1LRaozRwsKzShzT35Ayj1xKyeEYQTEFktTZ6fOWx7-Sv_fcG9Ct2wtub1TMY1BdtNepcfc&udm=2&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwju8vDN35GRAxVNV0EAHYpJDQ8Qkc0JKAB6BAgPEAE&ictx=0&biw=392&bih=736&dpr=2.75

What a good idea!

Never knew they had a name.

so glad I posted. Thanks all

End of the bed for me

Doesn’t it ruin your clothes?? As much as I love clean clothes I just couldn’t do it. Would cost loads too for a family.

sometimes I may put a hoody on for an hour if cold or change my trousers to pop out if I need to look smarter. Would you wash those?

I have a shelf in the wardrobe that is specifically for this purpose. So I can put worn clothes back in the wardrobe, but they don't "mix" with the clean clothes.
