Where Do You Put Your Dirty Clothes?

After removing your used clothes, do you put them in a clothes bin? Do you fold it and put it in a corner of the room or do you put them directly in the washing machine? In my case I put all the dirty clothes in a bin. Come wash time, I take clothes one by one to sort it. How about you, what do you do to your dirty clothes?

My dirty clothes usually get tossed on the floor in my bedroom. It drives my hubby crazy.
When laundry day rolls around I sort his out of the laundry hamper and mine off the floor, then wash fold and put away before starting the cycle again.

In laundry basket or bins. My husband has his blue one, my daughter has her princess pop up bin, and i got my own too. I don't mix all our clothes together. I don't like the smell of used socks :-) The bedsheets goes directly in the basement. I change all our bedsheets together @ one time so they are good for one load washing.

I have ahd shutes instaled in the closets in my house so when something is dirty we just trow it in and it falls in the laundry basket down in the basement. I guess the next thing would be to find someway of seperating them as they make their trip down their, but I can wai for that one.

We'd place our dirty clothes in a laundry basket - and put them into the washing machine later (I'd do washing only once or twice a week)
Those for handwash - like silk or linen, and my innerwear - I'd wash by hand, and these I place in another basket!

I throw it in the wash but sometimes when i wash i wash with my clothes on, and put washing powder over my body, so it's one stone killing two birds.

I always put the dirty clothes in the hamper... folded, until I'm ready to wash them.

When I take my clothes off, I put them into a clothes basket. They stay there until it's time for me to do laundry. When it's laundry time, they usually get put into something else when I'm at school to be taken to the laundry room. When I'm at home I just pick up the laundry basket and head downstairs to wash.

there are some clothes that goes straight into the laundry basket. there are some that i'll hang up to wear again. those that i'll wear again are jeans that don't get dirty easily. however, lingerie and work clothes definitely go into the laundry basket. when i was living alone, i dump them straight into the washer. now that i'm living with my family, i'm no longer the only one using the machine so i got a laundry basket. no sorting required as i wash all my clothes together. main reason being i don't have much light coloured clothes. cheers ;p

I too put my dirty cloths in the hamper, or laundry bin. I keep them
there until I get enough dirty cloths in there to make up a wash load.
I then wash them up.

In my airing cupboard I have three baskets, labelled, whites,colours, and darks and we put our clothes in them.
When the basket is half full it means there is a full load of washnig for the machine

I put mine in the dirty clothes basket, generally. We do at least one load of laundry every day. We tend to hang our clothes out on the line when we can, to save on electricity. So, the clothes do not stay in the bin for too long. I have a few shirts that I prefer to wear more often than others, and it is always clean by the day after I wear them. We do our laundry quick and often so that it does not pile up.
