Laundry Room Organization Ideas

T.R. Humphrey
If you have a small laundry room it is difficult to find storage space for all your things. You may not have enough space to store your laundry items, cleaning supplies, and other equipment. With the right organization you may find that it may not be as impossible to fit everything you need into a small space.

First arrange your items together. Place items that are frequently used in easy to reach areas. Group smaller items together by using small stack-able containers. For example, items like clothespins, dryer sheets, and laundry detergent could be stored in smaller stack-able baskets or a wire bins. Utilizing extra space between the washer and dryer can be very useful. Try sliding a caddy with drawers or shelves between your machines. Shelving and cabinets are great for hiding unsightly items. You can find these types of items online at www.shopgetorganized.com.

Sorting carts are helpful for organizing dirty laundry. These are great for sorting whites, darks, and delicate items before washing. These carts come with rollers for easy use. Also, there is a commercial laundry center so you can hang clothes up as you need. You can find the sorting carts in several different styles and colors at www.organize.com.

A great space saver is the iron and ironing board utility rack. You can hang this to place your iron and board out of sight in a closet or anywhere on the wall. There is also the over the door ironing board holder that is great for easy use. Most people need a drying rack for clothes that cannot be placed in the dryer. There are many styles and sizes of drying racks. If you are dealing with a very limited space, then check out the retractable clothesline. You could use this to stretch out along the inside of your laundry room and when your finished just let it retract back into its original place.

Some other great space savers are laundry cube shelving, laundry organization units, shelving over washers and dryers, corner shelving, and wall grid systems. There is a variety of items out there that can help you organize your laundry room. Pick out items that fit your needs and utilize your space the best you can. With the right items you will have your laundry room neat and organized in no time.
