Separating your dirty laundry just that much easier!
This three-piece hamper will allow you to have unity with organizing your dirty clothes. Your kids and yourself can toss their whites, darks, and colors into the designated hamper at the end of each day, all to make doing laundry a simple chore.
2. Add a folding station.
If you have space in your laundry room it’s best to utilize it and create a space for you to fold your clean clothes on. This could be either a countertop, a built-in table, or this easy to install wall shelf. Once you have it installed, it’ll make folding just that much more rewarding.

3. Use pretty bins and baskets to store detergents.
For this handy tip, it’s best to try to avoid plastic baskets, as they are far better for the utility room.
Instead, choose woven baskets that add some much-needed style to your laundry room, all while keeping all of your dirty laundry items and cleaning products nicely hidden away from plain view.

It can hold up to 32 pounds of wet clothes when in use (now that’s a lot of laundry!) and it can easily fold up for easy storing when everything is dry and ready to be put away.
5. Hang your ironing board behind the door.
When it comes to maintaining a minimal and organized laundry room, you have to save as much space as you can, and keeping your bulky ironing board from getting in the way will really help. 
Take this over the door hanger, for example, it’s not only lightweight but it can easily store your ironing board so again it’s out of view when it’s not in use.

Remember, open shelves are a must for a clean and organized laundry room.
