Preparation
Transporting your dirty laundry from one place to another can be a messy job. It doesn’t matter if you’re moving it from your bedroom to the laundry room, or from your apartment to the laundromat—traveling any distance with a large amount of dirty clothes can be tricky. Needless to say, you need a bag or basket to help you get from point A to point B. Enter the following options, all of which you can buy right now—these laundry bags and hampers will make this transport process a breeze, however far you have to go.
Consider your specific laundry needs before shopping. If you have a big family, for example, make sure you’re using an iteration that can carry the weight; options on wheels or with strong, sturdy straps are ideal. Or perhaps you live in a city and need to bring your laundry to a secondary location to be washed; a hamper that does double duty as a backpack will get you to your local laundromat or dry cleaners fuss- and hands-free. For wet or damp loads, like towels, you’ll want to make sure you are utilizing a bag or basket that has room for air to circulate (like one made from mesh or built with wide, woven sides).
Whatever your needs, there are plenty of shoppable laundry bags, baskets, and hampers that will help you tote your clothes to the washer with ease, comfort, and style.
