Step into the world of pristine closets and perfectly folded linens with our latest episode of Room by Room! Host Gabriella Joustra invites Tristin Chiafullo, a home organization guru and personal trainer, to unveil the secrets behind mastering laundry room organization for optimal fabric care. Get ready to revolutionize your laundry routine and preserve your wardrobe effortlessly!

Tristin Chiafullo is originally from New Castle, PA, with three out-of-state moves over the last 20 years as an adult. Those moves helped her to determine what truly mattered to her. She has always had a ‘knack’ for organizing and a desire for an environment that was always ‘in order.’ 

For Tristin, order means peace and focus. She learned that she values peace over almost everything, so her environment needed to reflect that. Tristin believes that to achieve this in every area of your home, you have to approach everything you bring to it with intention. You have to think about the value, not of the items, but the value the items bring to our lives. Do the items support the life you truly want? She always asks herself this question to ensure she only has things around that offer value and joy and provide a need that contributes to the lifestyle that she wants to live. This is the primary approach she uses with every client and every project she takes to ensure that her clients can maintain the spaces she creates.

In this enlightening episode, Tristin shares her top methods for maintaining garment integrity and streamlining laundry tasks. By hanging clothes straight from the dryer, she eliminates the need for tedious ironing sessions, offering a time-saving solution for busy individuals. Emphasizing the importance of proper sorting, she advocates for separating lights, darks, delicates, and towels to prevent color bleeding and fabric damage. 

Plus, she reveals a pro tip: washing bed sheets immediately after removal ensures freshness and prolongs their lifespan. Tune in to uncover Tristin's expert insights and revolutionize your laundry routine today!
