Where do people keep their dirty laundry

[grownags]

Just looking fir ideas doing up my bedroom
And would prefer not to have the laundry there bathroom
Could do it a squeeze but would be unite a squeeze
Any ideas?

I have a portable Brabantia laundry basket/bag. They're about the size of a normal laundry basket, but the hole at the top that you put the laundry into turns into handles like a giant shopping bag. I've had mine years and they don't make the one I have any more, but its a bit like this www.brabantia.com/uk/laundry-bag-rectangular-55-litre-pepper-black/?___store=uk
Its light so you can move it around and mine tends to migrate between the bedroom/next to the washing machine when I'm doing the laundry/the cupboard under the stairs when I want to hide it!

Our laundry basket is on the landing.

Oh I love that idea of the portable laundry basket . Things like bed clothes etc wouldn't squash in though would they???
I'm not always up to date with all washing but as two people have just left home I'm hoping to make some changes
I don't think I could fit laundry in the landing in our house but can see that would work as well

Large lidded basket in the bathroom. I wash every day so things are never hanging around too long. Anything wet or really minging is put straight in the machine.

We have attractive wicker laundry baskets in each bedroom. I don’t generally mix our laundry as DD and DH and me all have it done differently. I wash almost all of mine on delicate 30 as got fed up with shrinkage and I like fabric softener. DH allergic to softener but his is all washed at 40. DD is a baby and I wash a lot of hers on 60 as she’s weaning and her clothes are often revolting.
I do a clothes wash every other day and just rotate around the baskets (plus we have cloth nappies, towels and bed linen).

@grownags our portable laundry basket is a little bit bigger than the one they make now, but I can indeed fit all the bed clothes in... not a whole lot more though! There's only two of us but its definitely big enough for our needs.

I put mine in the bathroom basket.. Pink plastic one that matches the bathroom.
Dh stashes his dirty stuff in the side of his bed until it is too high for him to get past.
Dc leave theirs on the floordrobe until I threaten to bin it all..
All slovenly here atm.
Hoping Sept and more routine brings a fresh start.

I store mine in the broom cupboard under the stairs.

I put it straight into the washing machine when it's full it goes on 🤷🏼‍♀️

DS has the old style Brabantia pop up portable laundry bin like Wildwood at uni.

It's great for being able to carry the laundry to and from the laundrette and it holds more than the average laundry bin but the big drawback is that it has no lid/doesn't close. The smell of week old sweaty sports socks permeates the room... He just covers it with a towel but it rather spoils the aesthetic.

I have a laundry bins in the main bathroom and the laundry room.

We have the baskets (lights/darks/delicates) in our bathroom as there is space there
Once the DC are old enough they’ll have their own on the landing outside their rooms

Made.com does some felt laundry baskets that are portable with cut out handles, and close at the top with a popper. We bought some but didn’t go with our bathroom so sent them back. Still on the hunt for something portable that closes properly at the top... There are some canvas ones with a fold up metal frame that fit the bill but they look a bit rickety.

2 laundry hampers in the bedroom - 1 for dark, one for light colours. Small hamper in each of the kids' rooms too

I have the canvas one with the fold up frame, frame is 2 rectangles so there are 2 sides on the floor not feet, so it isn’t rickety. I wash the canvas bit occasionally and it doesn’t shrink.

It suits me and I find it easy to carry up and down stairs, full or empty. Anything really dirty goes straight in the machine.

Have 2 of these. I then transfer dirty clothes into a smaller clothes basket to take to the washing machine

In the bathroom. Everyone just dumps the clothes when they're having their shower. I never felt the need to have separate bedroom ones.

We've got two nice wooden box style ones on the landing - lights and darks. And a small one in DS room.

I have an Ikea Kallax unit with boxes on the landing and separate the lights/darks/whites as they go in.
When the boxes are full I take them down to the washing machine.

On Facebook

No room on my landing or in my teeny bathroom which is why they're in bedrooms

Laundry bin similar to the one posted above, kept in our small utility room

We have a laundry bin on the landing, and DS has one in his bedroom.

My friend has a laundry chute upstairs so everyone throws their clothes down it and they come out in a basket in her utility room. I'm so jealous.

We just have a laundry bag from ikea each, mine's on the back of my bathroom door.

@DramaAlpaca God, that sounds amazing.

I have an Ikea Pax wardrobe with an Ikea laundry basket on each shelf for each set of washing, so whites, lights, darks and blacks. Therefore it is pre-sorted, you take it off it goes into the basket, and yes I have teenage boys who use this system. It is in the spare bedroom and behind closed doors. No one has a laundry basket in their room.

I have a laundry schedule which includes bedding and towels. Bedding comes off, into the washing machine, dried and back onto the beds the same day. Or if a change, washed, dried and put away, new cover on.

Kitchen linens such as tea towels and dishcloths go into those Ikea recycling tubs and get washed once a week too, with Dettol laundry. I love my schedule, it has worked for years.
