Keeping tidy

[Chalatte]

Mums, what do you do with clothes to re-wear?

Between me, partner and 3kids we have multiple sets of clothes (night clothes, day clothes that were worn just out to the shop once, etc) that all have rewear potential, and this means we have backs of doors heaving with clothes that have been worn once not dirty enough to wash but can't be put back in the closet either.
My children are often not very good with remembering to re-wear either so we will end up with multiple sets of clothes hanging off door knobs, sofas, bannisters and it goes on..
I'm just sick to my teeth of all these extra clothes lying everywhere so I'd love any sort of advice on the situation!

Why not?

I think that you increase the likelyhood of cloth eating moths if you store away worn clothing.

In this house, anything clean enough to be re-worn gets worn again the ext day and anything that isn't goes in the wash.

Day clothes get worn the whole day long. PJ's go on pillows over the day and clean-enough day clothes sit on top of drawers overnight. Sport clothing goes straight in the wash.

If it cannot get hung back up then it needs washed

We have these sorts of clothes bloody everywhere. I don’t even remember to rewear them myself. So no help, but letting you know you’re not alone!

I’ve got a friend who has a colour coded system with pegs that he attaches onto the clothes hanging in his wardrobe. One colour for worn once, another for worn twice etc.
I just shove everything over a chair and sniff it before wearing to check there’s no BO 🤷🏼‍♀️

I call them "in play" clothes and they go in a little ikea drawer tidy box to be worn next day. Next to pants and socks.

Thanksso much for the responses.Some creative suggestions in there.
I just got on top of the clothes and reminded all the children to keep their clothes in the right place. Now just 1 set of nightclothes neatly folded on the steps of the bunk bed and me and my partners' clothes (1 set ish each) on a hanger behind the door. No spare clothes on banisters anymore!

I feel weird about putting worn clothes(especially if I've been in the tube etc) back into the closet even if on a hgner as they'll be touching the other clean clothes.. so that idea won't work for me, but I loved setting aside one dresser drawer for clothes! Socks I NEVER rewear but my partner does after a trip to the shop so those will go tucked into his shoes. All sorted now!

How about using a suit cover bag hung at one end of the wardrobe to act as a divider between clean and worn clothes?

That's a plan -- though currently we don't have proper closets just a built in one that we inherited in the move, leaves for cramped clothes and limited hanger space. Will revisit this idea when we move our clothes upstairs to our own closets.
