"I put them in the hamper. I thought they were dirty.You left them laying on the floor."
Does this sound familiar? Well have no fear folks, because I have the solution. I'm talking about the Almost Dirty™. (Okay, it's not really trademarked, but I thought it would look cooler that way. Of course, I've kind of ruined that with this long parenthetical explanation.) The Almost Dirty is a handy little device to help separate out those clothes that just haven't reached the level of ripe required for cleaning.
It's a fairly simple design, with hooks and baskets that hang discreetly out of the way on the wall, so when you take off those bumming-around-the-house shorts at the end of the day, you'll know right where they'll be the next day. It comes in several different configurations. As a wall unit, a stand alone, and even one that can hang in your closet (though that won't get much use from men).
No longer will men complain about not having that shirt that they just took off. No more will wives complain that they're husbands dirty clothes are all over. With the Almost Dirty, everybody wins!
I don't have a picture or design drawn up, but essentially it's a coat rack with some bars that hang parallel to the wall for pants, and some baskets underneath for the stuff from your pockets, or socks (if you're one of those weirdos who wears a pair of socks more than once), or whatever. The stand alone version is a free-standing coat rack, with an octagonal "halo" that pants can hang from, as well as a basket ring about halfway down.
Other options are a progressive chart, marked with smiley faces, that indicate how long the clothes have been there. If it's 2 days old, hang it on this hook, if it's 5 days old hang it on that one. The faces can progress from happy to vomiting. Kind of like the pain chart at the doctor's office, only with smells.
