To make your laundry area run smoothly, always allow for the following conveniences. A sink for soaking items and scrubbing out stains is extremely important. Storage racks and shelves are an absolute necessity for storing detergent and other laundry accessories! Storage racks can be mounted on a side wall to allow for other shelving on the back wall and to give you convenient storage space for soaps and bleach. A slanted shelf above your washer is wonderful for holding laundry baskets. After you fold your clothes on top of the dryer, they can be put directly in the laundry basket. This slanted shelf should be placed sixty-six inches from the floor. A laundry basket placed in each person’s closet will allow them to carry their own basket to the laundry area. That is a great help for Mom!
The type of shelving best suited for a utility area is vinyl-coated ventilated steel shelving. The ventilation property decreases the chance of any mildew due to the high humidity in the laundry area. Wire basket systems can be used for sorting dirty laundry. A solid top can be placed on top of this basket system to give you a solid place for folding your laundry. If you have a laundry chute, roll your basket system under the chute and place a basket on top to catch the laundry.
You should always have a place to hang clothes. Often, people end up hanging clothes straight from the washer or dryer on door knobs or lights. The solution to this is simple. Place a rod eighty inches from the floor above your washer and dryer to give you the space you need to hang your clothes. Hooks placed onto a wall are great for storing your ironing board off the floor.
We hope these helpful hints will make doing your laundry less time-consuming.
