Jun 29, 2022 06:42 AM
Most people agree that washing, drying and folding their laundry is one of the worst chores of all. And we get it: It's time-consuming, tedious, and often requires a level of forethought that always seems to elude us - who can remember to do laundry before they start watching a show? But with the right tools to keep your space and belongings organized and stylish, doing laundry mightn't feel so tedious (or at least it might go a lot faster). Read on to learn what tools and ideas you can use to organize your laundry to make the process easier. And who knows? Once you've implemented a few of them, you might even look forward to doing laundry.
1. Magnetic organizer system
Looking for an easy way to create more storage space without drilling holes in your walls? Try adding a magnetic shelf to the side of your washer and dryer that you can fill with everything from cleaning supplies to miscellaneous items you don't want on the floor or counter.
2. Refillable dispensers
Refillable bottles aren't only good for the environment, but they also look much more appealing than the original containers of detergent, bleach and fabric softener.
3. Drip Hangers or a Rod
If you don't have a clothesline or dryer nearby, you can use a foldable hanger (also known as a drip hanger system). You can hang it anywhere: on the shower head in the bathroom, on the balcony railing, or on the rod in your closet.
4. Laundry basket organizer
Sorting your laundry by whites, darks, and clothes that you can only wash by hand will make you thank yourself later.
5. Slim rolling cart
Unless you built your home yourself, the space between the washer, dryer, cabinets and wall probably isn't exact. You can make better use of the gaps with this slim cart.
6. Hanging drying rack
In a small laundry room, you should keep all the surfaces free, which means that you also need to use your ceilings. Hanging drying racks in this space will keep things out of the way. A butcher block countertop in the laundry room can also serve as a work surface. Plus, nicely painted cabinets and an ornate mantel can draw attention away from the less appealing machinery.
7. Towel and rag organizer
Keep your towels and rags nicely organized before and after washing. A towel holder keeps them in place.
8. Ironing board organizer
A wall-mounted organizer not only saves valuable floor space, but can also be stored in a closet if you don't have your own laundry room.
