The thin fabric bag in the hamper is cumbersome. Shopping bags aren’t effective either. A great laundry basket is sturdy, easy to carry, and holds all your laundry supplies. From the laundromat to your own washer and dryer, we’ve sorted out the best laundry baskets, and they’re guaranteed not to eat your socks.
Modern and versatile
This large cotton basket with simple lines is great for laundry and storage. Get a few of the rope baskets for the nursery, toy room, family room, and even for soft storage in closets. Use these laundry baskets to hold extra blankets for chilly evenings, sweaters, and cushions. The ample space in this basket could take you to the beach with fluffy clean towels out of the dryer.

Smart design
You can carry these hampers more easily – one in each hand – because of the longer fabric handles. The unique design of this laundry basket allows it to stand on its own. Great for those at kids at home, kids at college, and for use at camp or camping. Each hamper holds a load and a half of laundry. Get two for your family to manage your clothing needs. There’s a larger bag available and a couple of striped designs, too. Just fold this laundry basket up when it’s not in use.

An everything option
This provides pop-up storage anywhere you need it, and it’s great as a laundry basket, too. It’s a double pack of pop-up laundry hampers that fold flat. Up when you need them and out of the way when you don’t, put a pair in the RV, camper, on the boat, and in the kid’s room. They are a great alternative to a hard-sided laundry basket. Sturdy enough to withstand kids using them as toy baskets.

Round aluminum handle
A statement laundry bag that has clean lines, with circular handles made of soft materials to make carrying comfortable. Sturdy enough for toys, there are two layers of oxford cotton fabric on this collapsible laundry hamper. At 28-inches tall with a 15-inch square base, it holds laundry and soaps, and totes them with ease. Use it as soft-sided storage for winter sweaters and bulky coats, or extra linens.

Save some steps
Laundry is so much easier to tackle when the whites, darks, and delicates are already separated. Simply roll this triple-bag laundry cart into the laundry room without straining your back carrying all those loads. When you’re ready to load the washer, just push down on the brakes to keep this sorter cart from moving. The steel frame has a silver finish, but you could choose chrome or bronze finishes, also.
