Sort before you wash. Get at least two hampers, labeling one “whites” and one “darks.” When you're finished with clothes, put them in the right hamper and save yourself the trouble of sorting before you wash.
Put a stain stick in each bedroom, next to the hamper. That way, whenever you or one of your children is undressing, you can pre-treat a stain before it really sets (and you don't have to fish through and try to find the stained item later.
Keep a laminated copy of a stain remover chart (listing how to get lipstick, blood, chocolate, dirt, etc., out of clothes) next to the laundry detergent.
When folding laundry, bundle related items together for quick grabbing by rolling or folding them together. This might include bundling together full sets of gym clothes, underwear, and bed linens.

thank goodness I am not the only person who does this. when we had people looking at our house to see they looking in the linen cupboard and always ask "why do you have a lot of pillow?". They arent pillows they are complete bedlinen sets. all folded into a pillow slip. then when something need changing, it is right there on hand and no crazed looking in the cupboard for any that is missing.
It works for us
