Celebrating National Laundry Day with The Home Edit
Hollywood's hottest organizers share their laundry room edit tips
Not everyone loves doing laundry, but having a beautiful, clean and organized laundry room sure can help make laundry less of a chore! Clea and Joanna, hollywood’s hottest organizers and the team behind The Home Edit share their top five tips for the ultimate “laundry room edit” to help Canadian’s streamline and organize their laundry rooms.
1. Make the most of your shelving by utilizing jars and bins.
Bright white, clear bins and lidded jars are a super simple solve and offer a clean and crisp aesthetic. Remember to always use plastic bins for messy or liquid items so they are easy to wipe down. And don’t forget, using stackable storage means the sky’s the limit - literally! Stack as high as you can reach to gain valuable space.
2. Categorize and label!
Categorizing similar items together can help streamline your laundry routine. There’s no need to put items that are used twice a year front and centre - keep the daily essentials at an easily accessible level and store away the non-essentials. And don’t shy away from a label - when you can, make it big and bold!
3. Invest in the right appliances that meet your laundry needs.
What’s a laundry room without the right appliances? Top-load washers are making a big comeback because of their functionality - the door seal stays drier, preventing mould and smell. GE Appliances’ Designer Line Evolution laundry pair help make laundry easier - and organized - with a few simple features:
- First, GE SmartDispense allows you to store detergent in your machine for multiple loads - saving space on your shelf. Plus, it automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for any size load so you don’t have to take time to measure or pour your detergent.
- Over the past few years, with laundry rooms moving from basements to main floors, there’s isn’t always a laundry sink nearby. GE’s water station allows you to use your washer like a sink so you can wet your clothes for pre-treating tough stains or even pre-soak your clothes in water before the wash cycle.
- And, with GE’s WiFi-enabled washer and dryer, you can control your appliance right from your phone. This means you can check the progress of your laundry or extend your dryer cycle from wherever you are so that you never have to deal with dryer wrinkles again.
4. Remove excess packaging from items for a cleaner, tidier look.
You want to make sure you’re using the most of your space and one super easy solve is with removing excess packaging from products where unnecessary.
5. Utilize industrial-size laundry hampers on wheels for larger homes.
Gathering and sorting can be made easy with a simple laundry hamper upgrade! If your laundry room can accommodate it, utilize an industrial-size laundry hamper that can be pushed or pulled around on wheels throughout the home.
