Laundry Hampers & Baskets

Organise Your Laundry In Style With Laundry Hampers And Laundry Baskets

An essential in any laundry, laundry baskets and hampers allow you to ensure your laundry is kept neat and tidy. They help to streamline your laundry process and keep you organised. With many sizes, shapes, textures and styles available, laundry baskets and hampers can also make your laundry feel more homely and stylish.

What's the difference between laundry baskets and laundry hampers?

A laundry basket is designed with a wider opening to allow you to easily transport your washing from the machine into your basket and in turn easily carry it to your drying location. They are commonly equipped with handles to make them easy to carry. The wider opening also allows you to easily store your washing after it has dried before you iron or fold it all back up into your dresser. On the other hand, a laundry hamper is designed to remain in one place, typically your bedroom or laundry. They are made to be a storage solution for your dirty clothes before washing them and are usually fairly stylish to disguise the fact they hold dirty laundry.

Laundry Hampers And Baskets FAQs

What size laundry basket do I need?

You usually want to ensure your laundry basket is able to accommodate at least one load of washing. This allows for an easy process when removing your washing from the machine to where you'll be drying your clothes. This in turn saves you time from returning to your machine when hanging your clothes to dry as you're not moving back and forth carrying segments of your laundry at a time.

What is the best laundry basket?

Depending on your preference there are a number of different types of laundry baskets to tailor to your needs. For those living in smaller areas, a foldable laundry basket or collapsible laundry hamper may be the best option. These fold down into compact sizes that allow for easy storage when not in use. They are also usually lighter in weight, making them easy to move from the cupboard to your laundry.

Where should I place my laundry hamper?

Placing your laundry hamper in your laundry room makes it easy to organise your washing and limits the need to carry your dirty washing from your bedroom to the laundry. For homes that may not have a washing machine, placing your laundry hamper in rooms in which you get changed are also a great option. Place in the corner of your bedroom or in your bathroom to help you stay organised with your laundry.
