Cheap DIY Laundry Room Ideas

Make your laundry day more enjoyable by making these easy and inexpensive laundry room improvements. You'll be grateful for how much time you'll save!


Tips for the Perfect Laundry Room


This laundry room offers a variety of smart tips that you can use. In an area, you can set laundry baskets on shelves to keep them away from the floor. Also, make racks for your baskets for them to glide onto by altering the track that is made of wood. Also, make fun of cabinet door pulls using clothespins that are attached to the o-in lengths of dowels made from wood.


Instant Drying Rack


Do you and your family members have lots of clothes that aren't able to go into the dryer? Even the collapsible drying racks that have several bars to drape wet clothes aren't enough to handle large laundry days. And if you hang damp clothes over wet ones, this can extend the drying time by a significant amount and could make your clothes smell somewhat musty.


To address your air-drying shortfall:

  • Take a 1x2-sized piece of scrap wood from the pile in the garage.
  • Reduce it so that it fits over some joists that hang overhead inside your downstairs laundry.
  • Attach it with an extra-strong nail inside every joint.
  • You can then air dry a few additional pieces of clothing with hangers.


Skinny Laundry Room Cart


Many laundry rooms have a small unutilized space that is either adjacent to or between the washer and dryer and is typically a place to store socks and lint. To make the most of the space's potential for organization, create a basic plywood laundry room cart that is fixed on wheels to store detergents and other laundry items.


Write Notes on the Washer


Stop shrinking your sweaters. When you load several clothes in the washing machine, make use of dry-erase markers to write on the lid the items that are not suitable for the dryer. So, anyone who transfers your load of clothes from the washer onto the dryer is going to be aware of which items to take out to be dried.


The enamel finish on the majority of lids for washing machines is similar to a whiteboard, and dry-erase markers are easy to remove by using a dry towel.


Up and Out of the Way


Put an ironing board up on double coat hooks purchased from hardware stores. This keeps this out of the way of your tool and out of sight. Hang the double coat hooks where you can find enough space within your laundry space.


Cardboard Box Bag Dispenser


Are you finding for a way to organize all those plastic bags you buy at most shops? Here's a suggestion: Straighten them out and pile them in an organized pile. Then, place them in an unassuming cardboard box. Make holes inside the box so that you can take out each bag one at a moment depending on the amount you need. This is perfect for garage sales, where you'll need to pack items for customers.


This dispenser for plastic bags would also be great in the basement or anywhere you keep your cat's litterbox or close to your dog's leash. You'll have plenty of bags on hand for when you're ready to take care of your pet's mess.


Pretty and Practical Box Shelves


The simple shelf designs are equally suitable for a formal setting and in a utilitarian space, such as the garage or laundry. They can be used for a variety of possibilities for use and arrangement. They can be hung over the dryer and washer to store laundry detergent sheets for drying, dryer as well as other laundry-room essentials without taking up precious floor space.


Paint Stick to Clean Lint Buildup


Even if you clean the lint trap of your dryer prior to every load, there's still lint buildup in the vicinity, which could cause the possibility of a fire. Therefore, it is essential to clean the area every once in a while. This simple tip will help get the job done.


Cover a clean rag with the other end of a paint stir stick. Take the lint trap out and scrub the area using the rag-covered stick. To assist in transferring the stick of lint to stick onto the rag, wet it first with water.
