One in 10 adults has a ‘floordrobe’ - where most of their clean clothes end up piled on the floor, according to a study. <br /><br />Other unconventional ways to store clothes include a pile on a chair, in the washing basket and a suitcase. <br /><br />A study of 2,000 people found 44 per cent confessed to being guilty of simply chucking their clothes in a heap after they’ve been worn. <br /><br />Nearly nine in 10 (87 per cent) even have clothes they never wear - because they’ve forgotten they existed, are too crumpled - or can’t be found at all. <br /><br />As a result, 27 per cent have items of clothing they’re not able to wear regularly, according to the study for Lenor Crease Releaser. <br /><br />In response to these findings, the laundry company has teamed up with organising experts, The Style Sisters, to address this phenomenon and help tame the nation's 'floordrobes.' <br /><br />They shared their expertise, emphasising the importance of organisation and offering practical tips to help the nation reclaim its wardrobe space. <br /><br />The Style Sisters said: "By implementing simple organisation techniques, such as categorising clothes and utilising storage solutions, individuals can transform their 'floordrobes' into functional and stylish spaces. <br /><br />“Fixing a ‘floordrobe’ can feel daunting at first, but a well-organised wardrobe not only streamlines your routine but also saves you time in the long run. <br /><br />“Sorting a pile of crumpled clean clothes can seem like a chore but for those who don’t want to iron every item, using the Lenor Crease Releaser is a great quick fix. <br /><br />“When rehanging your clothes just use a quick spray, smooth and pull the fabric and the creases will vanish before your eyes.” <br /><br />For those who were guilty of owning a ‘floordrobe’, clothes being too creased to wear (36 per cent), or forgetting items existed were named as the top reasons that stopped them wearing their clothes. <br /><br />Due to a lack of space, 23 per cent stuff as many clothes as possible into their wardrobe, leaving them crinkled and creased. <br /><br />But as a result, 14 per cent don’t wear certain items in their wardrobe because they can’t be bothered to iron them. <br /><br />Nearly three in 10 (28 per cent) also claimed they never iron their clothes - with only 78 per cent even owning an ironing board. <br /><br />And 28 per cent have even resorted to hanging up a piece of clothing while they took a shower, in the hope the steam would get out some creases. <br /><br />The research, carried out via OnePoll, also revealed 11 per cent have never had a proper wardrobe clear out and reset. <br /><br />Nina Lumsden, spokesperson for Lenor Crease Releaser, added: "When your outfit looks polished and neat, you automatically feel more put together and confident. <br /><br />“It's not just about appearance; it's about how you feel in your clothes. <br /><br />“We are passionate about empowering the nation to care for their clothes and garments."
