Not purple people eaters, but purple people washers

Read time is around one minute.

After a long hiatus, I am happy to be back with another simple time saver I learned from my sister Barb.  Barb has a busy, three generation household at times and the young mothers of her family are often washing the sticky hands and faces of little ones at the handy kitchen sink.

To save herself laundry time, Barb bought a stack of purple washcloths and stores several in the kitchen. Now the parents of the little ones need not take a new cloth out of the linen drawer each time a child needs a minor clean-up. They do not wonder for what a particular cloth was last used. They know the purple washcloths are used only for cleaning hands and faces and not for dishes or other household wipe-ups.

This is a simple time saver that can easily be extended. Let each member in your household choose a particular color of washcloth. Now the laundry time of washing, drying, folding, putting away will be cut way down when each member uses one cloth several times rather than reaching for a new one each time.

We will talk more about saving time when family members choose a color in the next post.
