Laundry items I recommend

Zippered Mesh Laundry Wash Bags 

Zippered Mesh Laundry Wash Bags 15" x 18" Delicates Lingerie Hosiery Net

Pop-up laundry basket
We have used these for years. They are lightweight to carry, can expand to hold a lot of clothes, and can fold shut for storing.

I didn’t mention it, but another great laundry basket I’ve used with my kids is a triple sorter to help them with sorting their laundry (so everything doesn’t come out pink…) Here’s my older daughter’s, that we’ve had for years. (It’s so old, I couldn’t find a link to it on Amazon…)

Does kids' laundry day strike fear in your heart? Here are 10 simple ways to help make laundry day stress-free for both you and your kids!

But I really like this fun one from Amazon (and I bet teens would, too!) 🙂

Command hooks I recommend

The medium size Command hooks are great for hanging lots of things. Craft tools, pet leashes, sunglasses, keys, hand towel, jewelry, etc.

Command Designer Hooks, Indoor Use, White (GP081-9NA)

The small wire hook ones are great for hanging up potholders, measuring spoons, dish towels, and tons of other things. We also use them to hold up Christmas lights around windows.

And we use these picture hanging strips to hang up posters, frames, a pedestal sink skirt, or many other things that you want to hang but don’t need a hook. Perfect for rental or dorm!

And finally, for our other poster/lightweight picture hanging needs, we use Fun-tak. I’ve used this for years in classrooms and the library because it holds posters tight but doesn’t damage the walls.


I hope you find these suggestions useful!
