ORGANIZE MY NEW LAUNDRY ROOM WITH ME // Laundry Room Organization Transformation + Home Organization

[@fauxfinishmama]

Love the laundry room. We all need a little more organization in our life. I love to do this. A tip for removing your extra shelf. Why not just store it in top of the other shelf? I do this. That way you don't misplace the shelf or damage it by storing it out of the cabinet. Just drop it down on top of your other shelf. Always there if you change your mind. If you're like me....you will change your mind. Love your channel and all of your organizing tips.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

VERY VERY smart!! Thanks for the idea!

[@Youknowitsjenn]

You weren’t kidding! What a dream. Wow! Absolute goals!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Haha right?! So dreamy!!!

[@cherjohn4149]

You are so right, it's best to categorize products makes it easier. Love love the space, everything has it's own space and I love how big the laundry room is.❤️🔥

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Absolutely!! Me too 😀

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

SO much nicer to have the empty cupboards/spaces than overflowing to the extent of not knowing what is in them!!! Sophie you are a person can relate to in SO many aspects of your organizing efforts. I have never been able to do this to my satisfaction. I have become reenergized now as a result of viewing you posts! I LOVE your laundry room cupboards, they are BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing you ideas and efforts with all of us that follow you 😊!!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

100% 🙌Oh this makes me so happy! Thank you 💗

[@eiyiyiyi]

Such a great laundry room and you did a spectacular job of organizing it. When I have heavy loads, sheets, towels, etc., I will run them through an extra spin cycle and it takes much less energy and time to dry them completely.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks so much! 😊Great idea!!

[@lindalorton4334]

You did a great job in getting your laundry room ready for use! I can't even imagine having empty cabinets and drawers😳 seriously, the room is light fresh and airy. A wonderful space! So happy for you and Jim and Baby Boy!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you so much!! We are so lucky to have all of this extra space! I am sure it will fill up a bit more once there are some little ones running around 💗

[@julietanguay3151]

Wonderful! There is something so relaxing about having everything in order and so well organized! Thank you!✨

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

It really is!

[@kavithav9977]

Omg I am dreaming of my dream house and now I know how much of stuff should go into the laundry room

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

So fun to dream like that!

[@absinthemindedcat]

The way i deal with wanting to remove a shelf in a cupboard is to drop it down to sit in the bottom of the cupboard box as the lowest shelf and i keep the pegs in the highest holes. It means i don't have to find a place for it in the house and if i do decide to reorganize and put that shelf back into play all i have to do is shift the pegs and lift the shelf.

[@riverview9320]

Y - and that was a good idea to just remove a shelf.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Really great idea!!

[@tinamoore6352]

Your videos are the absolute best! This laundry room is an absolute dream!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Glad you like them! 💗😃

[@consolw]

This would have to be the best laundry organisation I’ve seen yet. I’m a big fan of labels and keeping like things grouped together in bins, it just makes it easier to find things. My laundry isn’t as big as yours but I’m going to copy your ideas and redo mine! Thanks so much for sharing 🥰

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Yay! Thank you!

[@sharonshmuel3386]

Love how you patiently organize & label the end result is 🤩 amazing loved the decor so pretty & you look lovely too 💗💖💞

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you so much!!

[@ndgrandma1818]

Loved your video, Sophie! Great job! I have a laundry room with extra cabinets, and I keep lots of my extra decor and all my candles in those cabinets. I keep batteries in one drawer, and in the other drawers I keep extra command hooks, different types of fasteners, adhesives, etc. I also keep “my” little pink tool box in a cabinet in the laundry room, so I have those things handy for hanging pictures, etc. That way I don’t have to go out to my husbands shop to find a hammer or pliers. You look adorable and I am so happy for you and your husband as you prepare to welcome your precious baby boy into the world!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

That is the type of stuff we are keeping in the "utility" closet in our laundry room as well! We actually just added some basic tools into one of the drawers for the exact same reason!

[@Barbara-qr4gq]

Hi Sophie, Fantastic use of the space. I am definitely going to organise my laundry space after watching this. Great tips. Thank you😊

Thank you!

[@LynnsLaunderette]

Okay….you have my dream laundry room, for sure. It’s looking wonderful. So happy you are sharing your organizing process with your new home. As far as your laundry not getting dry in your dryer, you may want to have your husband check to make sure that your vent inside your wall is the appropriate size for your dryer. We had the same problem when we bought a brand new dryer and vented it into the wall. Clothes were not getting dry in a brand new dryer so we did some investigating and found out that our vent in the wall was way too small and not appropriate. Replacing it immediately fixed the problem.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Someone else said that too, we really do need to check that! Thank you so much for the tip!

[@LynnsLaunderette]

@@SophisticatedOrganization Yes, the hose INSIDE the wall is something most people think of last… sadly. Hope you can have yours looked at soon, because you are going to have double the laundry once little one arrives! 😍

[@pamelacallaway3922]

Everything looks beautiful. Logical labels, logical grouping. Easily adjusted when necessary.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Absolutely! That was the goal, so glad you like it!

[@barbkandel777]

Great video, Sophie! I really like you organization style. Very simple and functional. I love how you don't feel the need to fill up all of your spaces too!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@maryjanemulstay2516]

Beautiful job in the laundry room Sophie. Re: Dryer Setting - try throwing a clean dry towel in with your wet laundry and the clothes will dry faster. I find Turkish towels work well because they are very absorbent and don't shed much lint.

[@monicakimsey5664]

You can also sprinkle some essential oil on the towel.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Great idea!!

[@pamf8228]

I love the Mrs. Meyer's Lilac scent!

Great idea!! So glad you found your way to my channel 😀

[@lauriepayseur5897]

I’m a little jealous of this space. Just as a tip I may be able to give you (for a change): that Folex carpet cleaner is like magic for laundry. I use it for EVERYTHING! It cleaned blue ink from my white area rug like it was nothing, but also cleans tomato sauce from my hubby’s white tee. Amazing stuff!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Oh wow I need to try if for laundry! That makes sense since it’s magic for carpets!! Thank you for sharing 💗☺️

[@goldamurr2148]

Just amazing Sophie! I have loved following the whole moving series….we are currently building our dream home and I’m getting SO MUCH inspiration (and quite the shopping list) from your videos. Thank you for sharing where to purchase different things - I’m in Australia . Just love your style and processes. Also love the large simple clear fonts you used today. ❤️❤️

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you so much, oh wow I am so excited for you and your dream home! What a fun time!

[@sptt426]

For that drying time issue, I have two recommendations. 1. Clean the vent and lint trap on the dryer. 2. Clean or hire someone to clean the dryer vent from the machine to the outside. These steps can have a huge impact on drying time and safety.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you! It may be something with the vent from the machine to the outside since our washers and dryers are brand new and we got new hosing with it etc.

[@marigoldsky3799]

I was thinking the same thing. Clean out that vent that runs outside. If it’s clogged, it can be a fire hazard too!!

[@marquitabortiz4718]

Also prevents fires in the laundry room exhaust! A friend who is a plumber said he frequently is called post fire in the laundry room Be careful!! exhaust that went up Caused it to catch fire when it should have the easiest configuration put of the house. My sister had him redo the exhaust. An ounce of prevention…

[@catestaid5850]

@@SophisticatedOrganization I highly recommend calling the store repair while still under the initial warranty. A brand new (very expensive) dryer should *not* be giving you trouble.

Hi Sophie, this is definitely one of my favorite videos ! I am just in LOVE with your laundry room ! I love the simplicity...the minimalism of the entire room and the gorgeous pop of color when you open your cabinets ! Knowing how much of a neat freak you are (I am the same), do you have any tips and tricks for clearing out the dryer lint after each load without it getting it all over your floors ? It drives me insane...maybe there's an easy solution and I just haven't thought of it...🤦🏻‍♀️

You do you mesh bags👏 Same here I use those too😁. I lost count how many years ago I started using. Especially for bras, hooked up then put into use mesh bag. Some times, older mesh bags will Auto unzipped from the mesh bags, bras will entangled with other clothes too. 😠 Time to shop for other design of mesh bags that is also suitable for socks and bras too. Nice video 🤓

Hi Sophie! I LOVED this video too! Your laundry room looks beautiful! I like the Industrial label. It makes sense for heavy duty cleaners. I just had an idea about the dryer. Our clothes were taking longer to dry. We had a company come out and clean the dryer vent because we couldn’t reach all the way up to the roof and the clothes have been drying faster and better ever since. I’m not sure how your vent works, I just wanted to share that idea. Have a happy day! Thanks for the inspiration! 👍💕🌸

I have a dumb question...I. have invested in e-cloths, microfiber cloths for my cleaning. Love how they work. Where do you put yours after using when wet? The ones for glass I use again prior to washing so dont wash them right away. I hate leaving them around on counters to dry, want a place to hide them until i use them again. Any ideas on where to store them between uses?

[@ndgrandma1818]

I think she said toward the end of the video that she keeps a container or bucket or something under the sink to put her dirty rags in. As far as your glass cleaner cloth, you could hang a clothespin type clip on the inside of a cabinet door where you keep your glass cleaner and hang it there. I’ve been looking for something like that…. Why doesn’t Command make those?! If they do, I’ve never seen one! But even a regular command hook could work to hang that rag on, or there are clear acrylic box type shelves that can be attached to the inside of a cabinet and you could just keep your used rag in one of those. Best of luck to you

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

I do put all of my dirty ones in a little bin (I have one on each floor) until I have enough to wash. I do have a little bar on the inside of my kitchen under sink cabinet for the cloth that is currently in use since like you I will use it a couple of times before declaring it dirty!

We have the same dryer and have the same drying issues. Sometimes it works great and other times i have to dry multiple times to get things totally dry. After we move I think I will be drying more things outside so I think it will not be as much of an issue.

I just recently switched to wool dryer balls. I had read about putting a few drops of essential oils on each ball to scent the laundry but then I read that the oils can stain your clothes?? I also just read that you’re supposed to wash the balls every 20 loads? So if anyone has experience with all of that, maybe please leave your input? Not sure what to do. Your laundry room is awesome Sophie. Mine is a 20+ year old washer/dryer in a corner of an unfinished basement but they work good and I’m grateful to have it!!

I have the yellow (and orange) from Costco too! Wait how do the tags not make you crazy. Also- do you take any special care in laundering microfiber? I have some that just aren't the same ss new and am not sure if they can be rescued or if I could have better cared for them.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Oh they do haha they are a new pack from my dad! I mainly make sure I don't use any fabric softener or dryer sheets with them.

[@pamdill47]

What all do you use the microfiber cloths for? Also do you wash them with other laundry or by themselves?

[@marigoldsky3799]

I ordered a huge bag of them from qvc, and it said to not wash them with other clothes to keep them working better? So I have a little basket on top of my dryer that I toss the dirty ones into and wash when my basket gets super full. Not sure if that’s necessary or not, but I’m following the directions 😁

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

I use them for pretty much all cleaning purposes and definitely wash them separate from other laundry. We use a lot less paper towels over here that way!

[@dionsuefineout99]

Hey Sophie, I see so many people use essential oils on their dryer balls but I've been hesitant because of getting oil spots on my clothes, is this a valid concern?

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

I would keep the amount of oil to a minimum and let it absorb into the dryer ball, you can always test with a load of rags or something first!

You've probably never had a pillowcase stained from years of use, but if you have, how would you clean it? lemme guess softscrub (that is a joke) I was googling before but failed to come up with anything.

Maybe I tried an optical brightener on one, I don't remember.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

I am actually a fan of oxiclean for laundry stains and sheets, sometimes giving it a good soak really helps. My mom swears by the stain remover "soil love". I switched to white sheets for this reason - so I can use bleach if needed. I tend to leave mascara stains behind every now and then!!
