How do you keep a laundry basket smelling fresh?
To keep your basket looking and smelling it's best, there are a few things you can do to maintain it. This includes allowing for ventilation by keeping the lid open or choosing a laundry basket with holes for added airflow. Other options include avoid putting damp clothes in the basket, regularly wipe or wash down the basket every 2-4 weeks and emptying the laundry basket often so your clothes don't sit for too long.
How often should you wash your laundry basket?
Due to the nature of the laundry basket, it is often best to clean your laundry basket every 2 to 4 weeks to avoid build up of dirt, odour and bacteria. However, you may need to wash your basket more regularly if you store sweaty or damp clothes, notice an odour, have pets that shed or are using an enclosed laundry basket ventilation.
Where do most people keep their laundry basket?
Where you store your laundry basket is often a personal preference of balancing your home style with convenience. Some of the most popular places to keep a laundry hamper includes a
bedroom wardrobe,
bathroom or laundry room.
What is the best material for a laundry basket?
At Target Australia, we offer a wide range of laundry baskets in different materials to suit your home's look and feel, as well as your lifestyle. The most popular laundry basket materials include plastic laundry hampers, fabric wicker or rattan. However, if you frequently wash sweaty or messy clothing, opting for a ventilated plastic basket reduces a buildup of bacteria. While wicker, rattan and fabric styles are popular for their aesthetic appeal.
Why do I need a laundry basket?
While laundry baskets may not be "essential", they sure do come in handy! Laundry baskets are an easy and durable way to store dirty clothing out of sight until you're ready for your next laundry day. Whether stored in the bathroom, bedroom or laundry, simply pick up the laundry hamper, separate your whites and dark clothing and dump it in the machine with no hassle required.
