Where to you keep your half-clean clothing? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I'm trying to to find the balance between having an anti-clutter space for a clearer head versus not being wasteful about over washing things like button shirts or jeans which don't get used for a large portion of my day.

I used to throw them over my computer chair but I recently moved my computer out of my bedroom.

I think the best option is to hang them up in the closet so they can air out a little more than back in a drawer.

I heard someone remark once that "If it's clean enough to put back on your body, it's clean enough to be put back" and that changed how I look at things

Although in practice, I either hang stuff up on hooks on the back of my bedroom door, toss things on The Chair, or use half-dirty laundry to cover up the shame of the unused exercise equipment. Old habits are hard to break I guess

“If it’s clean enough to put back on your body, it’s clean enough to be put back”

I think I disagree there, clothes that are clean enough to be worn for another day aren't necessarily clean enough to be stored over a period of time. Think of it like food; there are leftovers that are probably OK to eat the next day but you would probably would want to treat them separately from your fresh food.

Well, that's once again changed the way I look at things

Easy come, easy go

Agreed. Pants that have sat on public benches, chairs, etc. are okay to go sit on more public benches and chairs another day, but them hanging out with clean clothes is not the same thing.
