What to Do with Not-Quite Dirty Laundry

A simple solution to a common wardrobe dilemma.

Do you have a pile of clothes on the floor or near your dresser that you've worn once but could wear again before washing?

I have a row of hooks hanging inside my closet door. That's where I hang my once-worn pants and shirts. (Note: hang clothes by belt loops or clothing tags in order to prevent those unfortunate "bumps" that develop when cloth hangs on hooks for too long). When possible and appropriate, I wear the clothes hanging on the hooks before I take fresh clothes off their hangers. 

Now there's no pile of clothes on the floor or on the dresser!
