What do you do with your clothes that are worn but don't need washing yet?

[plasticbanana]

I chuck mine on the floor at the end of my bed. I pile DD's up on her chest of drawers and it turns into a mountain. I change my pants, camisole, t-shirt and socks every day but things like jeans, knitwear etc end up in a growing heap, and clothes like silk shirts end up hung up on the airer with the drying clothes. I don't necessarily want to wear the same thing the next day and I don't want to put them back in the wardrobe unwashed. What do you do? I googled 'valet stand' but that seems a bit excessive. Maybe just a chair would do...

How much airing do your clothes need? Give 'em 24 hours, and then back in the wardrobe / drawers.

If they need more than 24 hours airing, then isn't it just quicker to wash them...?

This never happens to me,probably because i have lots of little ones,something is either clean or dirty,i never get the chance to rewear anything,its always covered in sick/food/flour/grass by lunchtime.

Anything that lives on the floor for days on end needs to be washed anyway, surely?

I'm doing the research so you don't have to!

My extensive research on this topic, as well as disabusing me of the notion that we on S&B invented the terms 'chairdrobe' and 'floordrobe', revealed this marvelous blog to me and the following story:

"My little sister - nickname: Ballistic Missile - had a narrow bedroom. When Ballistic Missile was about 14 she created 'The Great Dividing Floordrobe'. This was a mountain of clothing that stretched very high, it had deep valleys that were like stepping stones. The deep valleys made a path from the door to the bed. Years later, when the room was eventually cleaned we found a mummified mouse."
