Mum-of-four dubbed 'lazy' for her laundry technique - but she thinks it's genius

If you live in a fairly large household, then you'll know just how much of a chore it can be to wash, dry, and fold the clothes that your kids have managed to get dirty throughout the week.

One mum of four has come up with a way to save herself some time when it comes to sorting through her freshly washed laundry, and although some have called her "lazy" for her methods, she believes her trick is "genius".

Tiffany, from the US, explained that she has four separate laundry baskets for each of her children, which makes it easier for her to sort through their clothes as they come out of the tumble dryer, as they can immediately be placed into the correct basket for that child.

And most importantly, Tiffany never folds her laundry. Instead, the mum simply takes one basket of clothes up to the corresponding child's room, places the clothes into baskets that they have placed on shelves, and "moves on with her life".

In a TikTok video shared to her @tiffanyajlee account, she said: "Alright so, I was called lazy for doing this, but I think it's genius.

"As you can see, I have bins behind me. Each bin is a different person in my family.

"I don't fold [the clothes] I just take the items directly out of the dryer and pop them in the bins. Then, I bring it up to their room, but it in more baskets that are in cube shelves - without folding them - and move on with my life."

Commenters on the post were split, as some said they couldn't get past the idea of their clothes having "wrinkles" in them from not being folded correctly.

One person said: "The wrinkles and amount of energy and time it takes to fluff them in the dryer is not worth this. I love doing laundry though."

While another added: "I couldn't do it, I'm already having nightmares about the wrinkles."

But others agreed with Tiffany that the time-saving trick was worth it, as they described laundry as "overwhelming" and said any hack to make it less stressful was "genius".

Someone said: "I don't even make it that far! Laundry is way overwhelming. I have clothes that I've never seen before in my life that just appear out of nowhere."

As someone else noted: "Yes!! I don't fold laundry either, girl! Too many times I've watched the kids unfold it all after I've folded ... Ain't nobody got time for that!"

"Haters going to hate but this is genius," a third added.
