Do you keep your half-worn clothes separate from your clean clothes?

Asked by raum (13461points) February 16th, 2019 from iPhone

Those clothes that have been worn but aren’t quite dirty enough to be tossed into the hamper?

Do you keep them separate from your clean-clean clothes? Or do you throw them all together?

Bonus question, if you keep them separate. Do you have a name for them? (We call them halfsies.)

I keep my clothes with pet hair separate from my clothes that don’t have pet hair.

Ugh is what I call the pet hair covered clothes.

I have a basket next to my hamper that I use for clothes that I’ve worn but aren’t dirty enough to wash yet. I’ve never had a name for these items, but I really like “half-worn.”

I hang my h-w clothes on a rotatable clothes rack, and my clean, unworn clothing in a closet.

Since my h-w clothes are out of the closet, I guess I could call them my outies.

If I felt inclined to indulge in a ridiculously oblique metaphorical reference to gay liberation, I could call them my Ellens. ;-)

“half worn” is not a category I use.

Half worn I tend to throw over a shelving unit in my closet, especially if it’s clothing I fold. If it’s an item I hang up, sometimes I just put it right back in its original spot in the closet.

Once in a while I put half worn over the arm of the sofa in my room. That’s out of laziness.

Yes. floor in bathroom or next to the bed on floor. dirty in the hamper.

“Gonna wear again” clothes are generally put on the Shaker pegs in my closet unless they are still very clean and can go back on their regular hanger.

Absolutely! No mixing allowed! If I must hang up a once worn sweater (rather than hanging it on a chair) I put it in the closet facing the opposite direction as the rest of my clothes.

To carry this further, I even have two combs in the bathroom. The yellow comb is only used for fresh out of the shower hair combing. The brown one is for combing at other times.
They are both regularly washed in the dishwasher.

@LuckyGuy That is intense. I thought I was bad.

Do you have two different bars of soap, two? One for when your hands are clean? ~

@longgone I use a pump soap dispenser for hand washing. Problem solved.

I use either bar soap or liquid soap from Body Works in the shower. The liquid soap aroma changes with the season.
