What would be in your dream laundry room? Share with Fairy Non Bio for the chance to win a £300 voucher! NOW CLOSED

[JustineBMumsnet]

Doing the laundry can be a messy task - whether that’s getting rid of your children’s unexplained stains or dealing with the piles and piles of clean clothes when you’re done. Who would blame you for dreaming about the kind of space that could make it all seem a bit more manageable. With that in mind, Fairy Non Bio would like to hear about what would be in your dream laundry room.

Here’s what Fairy Non Bio has to say: “Did you know that the average mother spends 5 months of her life doing laundry? That’s a lot of pulling tissues out of pockets, separating loads and pairing socks! Imagine that you had your own separate laundry room. What would you want to make your life easier and nicer to spend time in?”

Would you have a separate washer and dryer? Or shelves for each family member’s clothes? Perhaps you’d have a fold down ironing board? Maybe you’d have everything - from appliances to airers - hidden away in cupboards?

Whatever would be in your dream laundry room, share it below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Laundry chutes and a reverse vacuum chute to get the clean, dry stuff back upstairs.
Heated prongs sticking out of the wall for drying football boots and wellies.
Underfloor heating.

A squashy armchair so I could snuggle up and read read while the washing machine whirrs and sloshes.

My dream laundry room would be very spaces and bright. Would have a fold down wall that would open into a sunny garden. Would have special place to put everything away.
... but to be honest in a real world I don't have any loundry room so I would be happy with any 🤗

I would have a separate washing machine and tumble dryer. A cupboard for my laundry detergent, fabric conditioner and my collection of stain remover products I seem to have accumulated for removal of literally everything especially my money from my purse. Room for my Clothes airer, radiator airers and hanging racks that resemble landing pads for drones. Room for the obligatory vaccuum cleaner stash that promised to do everything including making the tea but refuses to actually vacuum. An area for my washing basket that refuses to put its legs down together so I don’t have to bend. So thank goodness for Fairy that actually cleans and leaves our clothes soft and fresh

I would like a washing machine with a large drum and a separate drier. I would also have a self sorting laundry basket and someone to iron and put the clean dry washing away for me.

My dream laundry room would simply be big enough to hang up and dry all the laundry at once. We don't have time to do laundry during the week, so it all gets done at the weekend. Fine when it's sunny and we can hang it all out in the garden, but not so good during the winter or when it's raining!

Would love a laundry room, with a new washer, new dryer, folding space and access to the garden for if I wanted to hang my clothes out to dry x

Large capacity washer and dryer, built in laundry bins to separate colours, darks & whites. Lots of hanging space for things that can't be tumbled, and a big flat area for all the annoying jumpers that tell you to 'dry flat & reshape while damp!' I mean, where are you supposed to even do that? There is nowhere flat in my house that doesn't get walked on, cooked on, slept or sat on!

Someone to do it all for me!

If this was dadsnet the answers would be the wife hahaha..... I would like a large capacity washing machine and separate vented dryer. Separate laundry baskets for lights, darks, colours and whites. An ironing board and iron. Baskets for each family members clean clothes to be put in and a cupboard for detergents etc. Think that's it really, possibility some hanging space for clothes that can't be put in the dryer.....although I put most stuff in regardless of what the label says, and obviously stacks and stacks of fairy products 😉

A large separate washing machine and dryer. A styllish clothes maiden and tubs of some description that each family member could... (drum roll) collect and put their own clothes away! Oh and also would love a laundry chute direct to the laundry room!

stylish

I rent a small flat with my daughter so a dream laundry room would be fab, as at present I manage our washing with our washing machine and one clothes horse next to my bed in front of a storage heater. We're a first floor flat and the only outside drying area in better weather is a shared line in the shared car park. So, a dream would be to have the luxury of a separate laundry room - attached to a dream cosy family home. Washing machine, a dream to have a tumble dryer!!, worktops for folding, cupboards for storage/washing basket...I'd just be easily pleased with a tumble dryer and it all shut away in a separate area :-)

I'd love at least two washing machines, one about 8/9kg for smaller loads and one of 14kg for the larger loads. I would however settle for one of those double washing machines with a large and small drum on top of it. Even if the machine weighs the clothes I'd ideally have two so they can be running at the same time. The most important part of the washing machine would be the rinse, it would have to rinse very, very well. Machines don't rinse well in my experience.

On the counter above the machines would be lovely lift top bins with powder and a scoop in each one. One for non bio, one for bio, one with vanish powder in, one for the tabs/pouches which dissolve etc.

I'd have a large sink for hand washing and normal sink activities and then I'd have two further smaller sinks for soaking stained items. Two so I can soak different things at the same time.

There would be space to put at least two laundry baskets so they're not always on the floor in my way. And a huge cupboard to store all of my Costco bulk buys of washing products.

I would have a big tumble dryer, I love my tumble dryer in the winter. I do have a very good tumble dryer at the moment so would stick with it. I'd maybe have bifold doors onto the garden and some kind of internal washing line system so that on the 'chance of rain' days I could still hang washing up to get the out doors smell but they'd stay dry. I'd also have the laundry room leading onto the garden so I can hang washing out and ensure I have enough line to hang up at least two loads of washing in case another load is ready before the first one was dry.

I'd also love lots of work space and a TV so I could put the laundry on whilst listening to day time tv.

Is it too much to ask for a comfy chair because sometimes I can sit and just watch the washing machine go round and round, take in water etc. I embarrassingly find it relaxing to see the washer doing its job

No laundry!!!

Aside from the usual washer and dryer I'd have: different baskets for dirty washing (whites, darks, colours, delicates, shirts), big dehumidifier, big folding clothes horse / airer, hanging rail, baskets for dry washing for each family member, shelves for all washing products, sink and drying space for wet gear

A washing machine that works properly doesn't bounce around and the drum just goes round not back and forth. A dryer to dry everything instead of having to use radiators would be good too.

An actual Laundry FAIRY would be grand, thanks!

We've moved our laudry room upstairs - which is great. (Apparently it's normal in central europe, why do we like carrying stuff up and down stairs?)
But space, space, space is still what's missing. Enough room to sort, stack and swing a cat would be nice.

Apart from a young man doing all the laundry for me, the best thing would be lots of space for everything and clear surface to work / lean on

My dream laundry room would have huge American sized Washer and Dryer. It would have cupboards to store all detergents. It would have a sink to make emptying the water tank easier and a bin to remove all the lint. It would be big enough to store the laundry baskets for the dirty clothes and big side cupboard to store the spare bedding in. Depending on the location of the laundry room it might also be nice to have cupboards for the towels.

A tumble dryer. I really want one.

I would love to have a laundry room. It would only have to be little and just big enough to have a washing machine AND tumble dryer. We currently have a washer dryer and the person who designed it obviously hated clothes because yes, it does wash as dry whatever you put in it but it also boils them, shrinks them and creases them to a point that they cannot be ironed! Completely envious of my mums tumble dryer and it's ability to dry clothes without turning them crispy

If I'm spending five months of my life there I'd like it to have a top quality sound system so I can sing along while doing folding, who knows I might even iron if I'm having fun.

Lots of cupboard space so I don't have to search all over for stuff.

Labelled boxes to put clean laundry in so everyone knows to take their box away.

Oh and socks would magically pair up when I wasn't looking.

I already have this. There is a basket where I dump the washing, and a rail where I put anything that needs ironing. Then the maid does it.
