A new invention could finally help organize your piles of laundry

A new Kickstarter project called ThreadStax is attempting to solve everyone’s problem with folding and stacking clothes.

“Inevitably becoming clumpy wrinkled piles, [folded clothes] are a constant chore to maintain, causing many of us to lose motivation to fold our clothes in the first place,” according to the ThreadStax Kickstarter video.

The brainchild of Scott Kosmach, ThreadStax claims to be better than competitors because it uses magnets to keep the pile neat. Each pack comes with magnetic stacking slides for your clothes that attach to a bracket that hangs on the wall or in your drawer with Command strips.

That bracket keeps the slides from falling off the rack while the magnets allow you to easily remove a slide to grab a shirt or pants from the pile.The result in the Kickstarter video looks pretty seamless.

"My girlfriend was always on my case about not folding laundry and keeping my closet and dresser tidy," ThreadStax creator Scott Kosmach told the Daily Dot. "As a man I'd rather have the right tools and do things efficiently rather than spend tedious hours re-organizing every weekend. That is why I invented ThreadStax."

People seem to be interested. So far, over 400 backers have raised nearly $70,000 for the project, $20,000 over its original $50,000 goal with 16 days left to go.

The ThreadStax crew also designed a magnetic folding sheet like some retail employees use in stores that would fit with the sliders and help fold clothes perfectly.

Currently, ThreadStax packs are expected to be delivered by May 2016. You can see more about the project on KickStarter, or watch the video below.
