Laundry Supplies
How to choose laundry supplies
Basket material
Laundry Baskets: choose metal or plastic for tough daily use, or cotton and linen for a softer bedroom aesthetic.
Colour match
Colour: black, white and grey sit neutral, while lavender or pink suit a child's bathroom.
Airer build
Home & Garden airers: steel gives steadiness, plastic gives easy movement around the garden.
Detergent choice
Laundry Detergent: pick from the brand range present to match your machine and preferred packaging colour.
Peg type
Household Supplies: wood pegs biodegrade but weather less well than plastic clips.
What's good
- Steel and stainless steel laundry baskets or airers shrug off damp better than fabric bags.
- Plastic pieces from Home & Garden stay light to lift and won't rust in a steamy room.
- Wood or bamboo baskets give a natural feel, with brown and green colour options to blend with decor.
- Laundry Detergent here includes brands like Ariel and Ecover, so you can keep your usual wash formula.
Things to watch
- Cotton and linen laundry baskets sag under heavy wet loads, while rigid plastic keeps its shape.
- Stainless steel airers from Home & Garden are stable but heavier to wheel outside than plastic rotary dryers.
- Bamboo and wood items need a dry spot, as constant humidity can warp the material.
- Colours like gold or silver on baskets show scuffs faster than matte white or grey.
Care & maintenance
Metal care
Wipe steel and stainless steel frames dry after use to stop water spots.
Fabric washing
Machine wash cotton or polyester laundry bags on a cool, gentle cycle.
Natural storage
Keep wooden pegs and bamboo baskets in a ventilated area away from steam.
Airer upkeep
Clear plastic airer arms of lint before folding to protect the joints.
