Spring Cleaning Part 1: Towels

We have a major problem in this house and as I was looking for a solution…I decided to take you along as I work through several challenge areas in hopes of helping you and kick off Spring Cleaning!

So I am going to do a little series…not that I am an expert but just determined to figure it out…simplify this madness 🙂

Okay…so are you ready?  Promise not to judge…

P.S.  Excuse the crappy photos.  I did not stage this for the blog.  This is a typical day so I just grabbed my cell phone and started taking pictures.

Found one here:

A few got hung up here…

A couple of them tossed here:

Some kid ran from the tub to their room dropping one here…

Seriously….

The kitchen table!!!!!! What?!?

But seriously this is how it is.  Everyday.

I honestly can’t take it anymore.

Can you imagine the laundry?

No one remembers whose is whose.

No one knows if it’s clean or needs to be cleaned so they just toss it down the laundry chute.

My husband ALWAYS leaves his downstairs, on the back of a chair…but if I don’t bring it back up by the time he takes his next shower then he grabs another.

So we either have a lot of towels down the chute or a lot of towels hung up or a lot of towels on the floor.

Norwex microfiber-including their bath towels contain silver. So-they are self sanitizing and won’t get that musty smell.  Bacteria, molds, fungi, etc. cannot survive in them.  It will be a fresh towel, literally, at every use.

So I decided to give myself a gift.  Quite possibly the best gift…ever.

Hubby got one color, I got another.

The baby got the hoodie/washcloth set

The big kids each got a towel, too.

The guest bath got a certain color hand towel and the kids’ bath got another color. The Master bath got the remaining color.

It is brilliant.  5 bath towels, 3 hand towels (I actually got 6 of these so there was one hanging while the other was washing)…all fresh and clean all the time and then once a week I grab ’em all up and throw them in the wash. One load.  All clean. Hang them back up and d-o-n-e.

Done.

Can you imagine the floor cabinet space I just freed up?!?  An entire shelf of my linen closet is empty!

I donated all the towels to the SAFE House.

You can order on my web site or contact me directly.

This idea was inspired by a real-life customer who gave herself this gift and did it for her family! Here’s what she wrote me:
This is the first weekend in forever that I have not been washing, drying and folding a HUGE load of bath towels. We are loving our Norwex bath towels—means I have barely a load of towels to wash each week! And I just hang them up after each shower or after drying hands, and they dry quick as can be and stay smelling nice. Thanks, Rechel!-Heather B.

Follow me here on the blog and come along as I find more and more and more ways of simplifying the endless task of housework 🙂

Oh and to be perfectly honest….

In our review of the towels…Mike and I both felt like they were very grabby upon first use.  In fact…I was not pleased and was not going to give them another try.  But I did and I am so glad I did.  After that very first use-they are great and super absorbent!
