    Currently I have 4. One for wet washing, one with folded clean washing, one for ironing and a floater.

    I like to fold my clothes as they come off the line so my new system will include 3 new boxes/baskets one for each child. This way I can fold and sort at the same time...assuming I get the time

    About 4 million. Would be surprised if any of them actually had clothes in them...

    I have one, that has a broken handle.
    Me too!
    I have a hamper in each bedroom, one in the bathroom & one in the laundry, so 5 for the dirty clothes, but only one for wet & clean
    My clothes sit on one of our lounges til I get around to folding. Even if I had a basket for my unfolded, you wouldn't be able to see it under the clothes!
    I did have 2. Still need to replace the second... One day...

    I have 4...and they are pretty much always full of clothes to be folded and put away, LOL.

    I also have 2 hampers in the laundry...one for towels, one for clothes.
    I have 1 hamper in my room next to Jacks change table for his clothes as I wash all his stuff seperately.

    Lol only one here... we have a big plastic bin (like, a huge one, bigger than a 44-gallon drum) in the bathroom for dirty clothes, and then I just use a cane basket to get each load of washing from laundry to clothesline and back.
    We do have another plastic washing basket, but it's in the laundry stuffed full of junk and hasn't been touched in months so I don't use it and therefore don't count it as existing lol

    i have two.. and most of the time they sit empty in the laundry... lol

    each morning i do a clothes pick up, chuck it all in the wash... then i use one basket to carry out the wet, peg it up, and take off the dry stuff. tip it on the couch, fold and re stack in the basket and then put it all away.

    empty basket goes back in the laundry! i do get a build up of 'other' washing things- tea towels, the floor towels, face washers & towels that get dirty before i do the towel change over. so i tend to wash this stuff when i have a basket full.

    ive made myself into a routine to wash in the morning, no matter if im home or have to go out. if i dont have time to fold and put away clothes, i leave them hanging on the line and do the two loads together.. i cant stand having piles of clothes everywhere!

    I have a hamper in each room, 3 baskets and a laundry divider in the laundry (I hate piles on the floor when sorting).

    Question: Whats a washing line? Ours is an adventure to get to, its down a gazillion steps, and its behind our shed under a pine tree, you literally need a packed lunch to get to it. Clothes Horses are our friend heh.

    I had 3, but one broke, so am back to 2 and I keep forgetting to get a new one, or when I do remember, the trolley is full and I don't want to do the balancing act with it all lol.

    I like to take the washing downstairs in one, clean clothes in another to go out to the line (when i use it) and then to bring up the dry ones, and the third was to dump the clean ones into for folding/ironing. I try to fold most of the clothes as they come off the line, then put them away when I get upstairs. If I fold later on, I usually have all the clothes sitting on the lounge and coffee table, so I have to put them away then.
