Make your laundry time easier with these easy and affordable laundry room improvements. You'll be thankful for how much time you'll save!

Tips for the Perfect Laundry Room

The laundry room is filled with innovative tips you can implement within your own laundry space. In this room, you can set laundry baskets on shelves to keep them away from the floor. You can also make tracks for baskets that can slide onto by altering tracks made of wood. Also, make fun of cabinet door pulls with clothespins and lengths of dowels made from wood.

Instant Drying Rack

Do you and your family members have lots of clothes that can't be put in the dryer? Even those drying racks that fold up that have several bars to drape wet clothes aren't enough for large laundry days. And if you hang damp clothes over wet clothes they will extend drying time considerably and may make your clothes smell slightly musty.

To address your air-drying insufficiency:

• Find a 1x2 piece of plank from your old bin in the garage.
• Cut it down to fit over the top of a few joists inside your downstairs laundry.
• Secure it by nailing it down with nails of high quality in every joint.
• After that, you can dry other pieces of clothing by using hangers.

Skinny Laundry Room Cart

The majority of laundry rooms are characterized by a narrow unutilized space that is either adjacent to or between the washer or dryer, and it's often a storage space for socks and lint. To make the most of the space's potential for organization, create a basic plywood laundry room cart that is fixed on rolling casters that can hold detergents as well as other laundry items.

Write Notes on the Washer

Stop shrinking your sweaters. If you are putting loads of clothes in the washing machine, make use of dry-erase markers to mark on the lid what items shouldn't go into the dryer. This way, the person who transfers between the washer onto the dryer is going to be aware of which items to take to dry on the line.

The finish of enamel on many lids for washing machines is similar to a whiteboard and dry-erase markers, which are easy to remove by using a dry towel.

Up and Out of the Way

Ironing boards can be hung on double coat hooks purchased from the hardware shop. This will keep it from getting in the way of tools and out of sight. Hang the double coat hooks where you can find room in the laundry space.

Cardboard Box Bag Dispenser

Are you finding a way to organize all those plastic bags you buy at the grocery store? Here's a solution: Straighten the bags out and arrange them into a neat pile. Place the pile in an unassuming cardboard box. Create an opening in the box so that you can access the bags one at a moment, depending on the amount you need. This is great for garage sales, where you'll need to store items for customers.

This dispenser for plastic bags would be useful in the basement or anywhere you keep your cat's litterbox or in the vicinity of your dog's leash. You'll have plenty of bags on hand for when you're ready to tidy up after your pet.

Pretty and Practical Box Shelves

The simple shelf designs are equally suitable for the formal setting and in practical spaces, such as the garage or laundry room. They are able to accommodate a wide range of possibilities for use and arrangement. They can be hung over the dryer and washer to store laundry detergent sheets for drying, dryer as well as other laundry-room essentials and not occupy precious floor space.

Paint Stick to Clean Lint Buildup

Even if you clean the lint trap of your dryer prior to every load, there's still lint accumulation around the trap which could lead to the possibility of a fire. Therefore, it is essential to cleanse the area every once in a while. This simple tip will help get the job done.

Cover a clean rag with the end of a stir stick. Take the lint trap out and wash the area using the rag-covered stick. To assist the lint into sticking to the rag, wet it first with water.
