I use square canvas totes (with handles and a slot for a paper, which I put their name) from Walmart. They come in nice colors and are very sturdy. I keep them on a deep shelf (we have 8 people in our family). I throw other things in there, too, that get left around the house. Toys, books and hair accessories get put away doing this without me running to everyone's rooms. I also have a great way to sort dirty laundry. Four color coded baskets to sort and put on shelves in the laundry room closet. White for whites, Yellow for colors, Brown for darks and Blue for Towels. Everyone in the family can sort clothes with this system. I have done this for years and love it. I use square canvas totes (with handles and a slot for a paper, which I put their name) from Walmart.

So each member of our home (family of 6) has their own basket for dirty clothes and their assigned day that their items are washed and put away. Since I am only washing one persons laundry a day then I only have to go to one room (instead of bouncing from room to room everday to put away everyones laundry) to return them where they belong. If my children were older they could themselves take the initiative to get there basket on their day.
