10 Laundry Room Organization Ideas That’ll Make It Less of a Chore

The best laundry room organization ideas are easier said than done to execute. Trying to cram a washing machine, a dryer, and all the necessary cleaning materials you need into one place can leave it feeling cramped and crowded—plus, you have a ton of random boxes and bottles that aren’t visually appealing. That’s why it’s so important to take advantage of every square inch and fill it with bins, dispensers, baskets, and other organizers. The easier it is to do the chore, the less likely you’ll end up putting it off for another day. (That goes for other spaces, too, like closets.)

With the right tools, you can take what space you have and find whole new storage opportunities you never would have considered otherwise. Now that’s so fresh and so clean!

Don’t wait until you’re filling the washing machine to sort your colors and your whites. Not only does the organization help the process go faster, but the wheels on this cart will also take a load off—literally, your back will be much happier.

2. Laundry Detergent Drip Catcher

Nobody wants to have to clean up spills or lug heavy jugs of detergent up and down from a shelf. This simple tool solves both problems at once!

3. Conworld Laundry Scent Boosters Dispenser

SEE PRICE

If you prefer laundry detergent powder over the liquid kind, there’s still more you can do to make things easier on yourself. Not only can you save space by installing this on your wall, but the transparent case makes it easy to keep track of when you need to refill it.

4. Solid Wood Laundry Room Organizer

For true organization nerds, get maximum storage with a full hanging shelf system. With up to 18 feet of shelf space and 6 feet of hanging space, you’ll have plenty of room to fit all your essentials.

5. Ironing Board Holder

Rather than try and squeeze a large item like an ironing board somewhere behind the dryer, give it a dedicated spot of its own. That way, it will always be easy to pull out without getting in your way.

6. Dryer Sheet Dispenser

Another way to keep your countertops clear is with a dryer sheet dispenser. Its magnetic backing means you can simply attach it to your washer or dryer and you’re ready to go!

Never forget to clean out dryer lint by having a special brush and bin for the job. Instead of having to run for a trash can, you’ll be able to dispose of it right away.

9. Yamazaki Laundry Hanger Storage Rack

Even if folding and hanging your clothes is the worst part of laundry, that doesn’t mean you should suffer too much. Keep your hangers on this rack, and you’ll be able to get things done the moment you empty your dryer.

For tight spaces, consider a narrow storage cart. It can house everything you need at your fingertips and be easily maneuvered when it gets in your way.
