We get it, wash day can be a drag. Luckily, these smart laundry products make the job easier (and dare we say, fun).
Collapsible Laundry Tote
Say hello to your laundry room’s new best-kept secret, a collapsible laundry tote. Easy to carry and even easier to store, the basket folds flat when it’s not in use. Oh, and it holds multiple loads at a time so you can transport clean, dry clothes from room to room in a flash. It’s one of those genius laundry products you’ll thank yourself for later. Choose the color combo that best matches your laundry room decor.
Sneaker Dryer Bag
Want to dry off your sneakers after washing them but don’t want to destroy your dryer drum? This sneaker dryer bag holds shoes and fits right onto your dryer door—no thumping sounds or damage done. Talk about smart laundry products! Speaking of, here’s how to clean white shoes to keep them looking good as new.
Wool Dryer Balls
Bye-bye dryer sheets! Not only are wool dryer balls better for the environment, but they’re also a reusable item that saves money over time. Similar to dryer sheets, these laundry products remove static while fluffing and softening items as they dry. Check out more eco-friendly cleaning products for the whole home.
Rolling Laundry Cart
Why lug a heavy basket to the washer and dryer when you can roll it in this sturdy laundry cart? Not only is it a breeze to transport, but it also boasts two divided sections for sorting lights and darks. Plus, the wooden tabletop doubles as a spot for folding clothes. BRB we’re adding this genius laundry product to our cart immediately.
Dryer Lint Brush
Lint buildup in the dryer is a potential fire hazard, so it’s important to be thorough in your hunt to eliminate lint. Luckily, this flexible 29-inch dryer lint brush reaches hidden lint in all the nooks and crannies, giving you peace of mind without having to take apart your dryer. Plus, it makes the chore so much easier.
Laundry Detergent Catcher
Economy-sized laundry detergent and fabric softener are convenient, but the push-button dispenser inevitably leaks and makes an annoying mess. These detergent catcher cups snap right onto the spout and catch any spillage. It’s one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” laundry products you’ll want to buy for all your friends. By the way, here’s how to tell if you’re using too much detergent.
Laundry Turtle
Yes, there’s a more efficient way to remove clean laundry from the dryer without having to go back for that sock that always slips out of your arms. The secret is this nifty laundry turtle. The contraption collects every item from the dryer at once and even keeps them secure while transporting laundry from room to room. Simply place it inside the dryer, rotate the drum and every last bit of laundry is gathered at once!
Mounted Drying Rack
Let’s be real, some laundry drying racks are clunky and take up precious floor space. Not to mention they can be a real eye sore. That’s why we love this easy-to-mount laundry drying rack. The laundry rack gently extends to offer seven rows of drying space for activewear, denim and delicates. Bonus: It doubles as laundry room decor when it’s not in use.
Delicates Bag
Preserve your finest and most delicate items in the washer (and dryer!) with this delicates bag set. You’ll never have to worry about your delicates snagging again. Plus, the bags double as travel bags for your suitcase.
Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover
A reliable stain remover is an essential laundry product to have on hand. Pick up Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover and you’ll never look back. It’s safe on fabrics, biodegradable and nontoxic—and works like magic according to shoppers. It pairs beautifully with these editor-tested best-smelling laundry detergents.
Pet Hair Remover
Struggling to remove pet hair from your laundry? These sticky pet hair catchers thoroughly remove fur from all types of fabric: Clothing, bedding, towels—you name it. Just remember to forgo the fabric softener as it reduces their ability to catch pet hair.
