Adrian Turtle's Profile

Sister Vashti, and everybody else who has trouble finding a place for clothes that aren't [quite] dirty, here's what works for me. When I take my teaching clothes off, I go over the outside with a lint brush, then turn them inside-out and hang them on the shower rod to air. At bedtime, I put them in the closet. Looking at my closet, anything inside-out has been worn but is still reasonably clean. Anything right-side-in is fresh from the laundry or cleaners. Anything in the hamper, or on the floor next to it, is dirty.

In the spring, when I pack winter clothes away in boxes, it helps to have the inside-out reminder that some things need to be cleaned before it's safe to put them in mothballs.
