What do you carry your sheets in?

[~Stabbing the Drama~]

For those of you who don't have on-site laundry, what do you carry your sheets in?

I've been using a duffle bag that fits about four to five sheet sets either way, clean & folded or dirty & stuffed. With five it's about too heavy for me to walk to the office with. Sometimes if I have a full load I'm lazy enough to drive :roll:

Short of obtaining a pack mule, any suggestions?

A laundry basket.

A large black nylon tote bag. It washes easily and fits up to 8 - 10 sets of sheets in it making it easy to carry linens back and forth.

i use this crunch basket from the container store. i love the colors. http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=77004&PRODID=10013306

it holds at least 5 sets. i do worry about the cloth handles ripping when i have it weighed down, so i usually support it by carrying it on my hip.

I often wonder if I'm a MT or a pack mule...

A wheeled suitcase preferably. It holds 4-5 sets of sheets or a couple sets plus the blankets needed in winter. I will usually pack the the used linens into the pillow case and a garbage bag and take them to the car between clients to keep the room tidy.

I've been using a wheeled suitcase for probably 5 years now... this is my 2nd one, as the handle broke on the first one after 3 years. I think I paid about $50 for each of them... but I consider it a good investment in my health... as the table is hard enough to lug around! Can you tell I don't have one of those new lighter models? My 9 year old 30 inch Earthlite Avalon is no featherweight! LOL

I try to have the suitcase ready to roll at a moments notice, containing a set of sheets, face cradle cover, blanket, towel, sometimes a pillow, bolster, intake forms, an apron for myself and a couple CDs (in a case from target for $1) and a plastic bag. The oils I carry in a handled make up case... (from walmart - less than $10) that I attach to the strap that is near the handle so you can attach a tote to your wheeled suitcase as you walk thru the airport...

Does that answer your question Egomagickian?

i use these pop-up things http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=12329920&RN=592 .

i love them. i have had them for 1 1/2 years and lug them all over. they have held up really well. i'm in need of new ones some time in the next couple of weeks. i can fit about 8 or 9 sets in each one. i totally beat them up and they've held up beyond my expectations!

I have the exact same pop up hampers but from Walgreens (2 for $5). I love them!

I use a black wheeled suitcase (textured nylon-ish covering) that I bought at Wal-Mart for about $45.

This thing has lasted for about 4 years now, maybe 5. It carries about 10-12 sets of sheets if I fold them and stack them right, along with face cradle covers. It is about 26' long x 17" wide x 9 1/2" deep. It is expandable.

I can only say... go wheels, and go expandable!

I didn't buy a set, but the piece looks similar to this except in black.

Take note that this is coming from the Germophobe of the group but I would suggest having a plastic bag to put your used linens in before you put them in your napsacks, duffles, baskets etc.

In an ordinance here in NJ I do believe it states that clean and dirty linen need to be kept separate. It is the case in the hospital...and yes, I realize it is the hospital.
