• 0 commentsHere are some interesting facts about something we all take for granted.
A hamper is a primarily British term for a wicker basket, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food.
In North America, the term generally refers to a household receptacle for dirty clothing, regardless of its composition, i.e. "a laundry hamper".
In agricultural use, a hamper is a wide-mouthed container of basketwork that may often be carried on the back during the harvesting of fruit or vegetables by hand by workers in the field. The contents of the hamper may be decanted regularly into larger containers or a cart, wagon, or truck.
The open ventilation and the sturdiness offered by a hamper has made it suitable for the transport of food, hence the use of the picnic hamper.
At one time it was common for laundry services to leave a large basketwork container with a lid which is now commonly referred to as a clothes hamper. The same type of container would be used to return clean clothing, which would be put away by the laundry service and the empty container left in place of the full container for later pickup.
This type of daily or bi-daily hamper service was most common with Chinese laundry services in 19th century England and America.

• 0 commentsMany people only have baskets and hampers in their home. However, everyone home could definitely benefit from having a laundry sorter. Maybe you're not convinced that you need one. Well, here is a look at some reasons that every home should have at least one on hand.
Reason #1 - Clear Up Clutter
One great reason to have a laundry sorter in your home is to clear up the clutter. Laundry tends to get piled up everywhere if you don't have a good way to organize it. When you organize it, it doesn't become an eyesore in your home. The laundry sorter will help you keep things organized and out of sight before you do the laundry.
Reason #2 - Sort Throughout the Week
The laundry sorter also gives you the ability to sort your clothes throughout the week. You don't have to wait until the end when you are in a hurry to finish the laundry to go through everything. Throw everything in the right compartment and you can simply throw in that load whenever you want to without having to worry about sorting anything.
Reason #3 - Save Time
Most busy families don't have the time to have to sort through piles of laundry before starting the wash. In fact, sometimes families start throwing everything together because they don't have time for this. This can be a mistake for your clothing though. With the laundry sorter, everything is already sorted, which saves you a huge amount of time.
Your life is already hectic enough. Why not find ways that you can make life easier. Laundry is no fun, but it can be made easier if you purchase a good laundry sorter for your home.

• 0 commentsNot everyone has a washer and dryer in their own home. Maybe you life in a college dorm or you have an apartment that has a communal laundry area. Perhaps your laundry machines broke down and you have to temporarily use a Laundromat. Whatever the case, if you are going to go to the Laundromat, you definitely need to make things as easy as possible. It's no fun to drag all that laundry around. One option that can help is a mesh laundry sorter bag.
Trying to carry all of your laundry in baskets is definitely going to get difficult, especially if you have a lot of laundry that you need to get done. This is where the mesh laundry sorter bag can help. It's a mesh bag that has several different compartments available where you can sort out the laundry before you take off for the Laundromat. While it can get a bit heavy, it's definitely better than lugging around heavy baskets with out.
Since it is made out of mesh, this laundry sorter won't keep smells in it either. The mesh can easily be thrown in with a load of clothing as well. You'll also find that this laundry sorter bag is reasonably priced, so you won't have to spend a lot of money on it to make your laundry a bit easier. The nylon mesh that it is made out of is durable and sturdy too, so you don't have to worry that the sorter will give out on you when you least expect it.
No, going to the Laundromat is no fun, but it can be made a bit easier for you when you purchase your own mesh laundry sorter bag. It's collapsible too, so when you have it at home, it won't take up too much of your valuable space.

• 0 commentsOne of the best investments you'll ever make in your laundry is a good laundry sorter. These sorters help you keep laundry organized, and organization makes things a lot easier for you. Of course, today there are many models and styles to choose from. How can you choose the right option? Well, to make it easier for you, here are the top features to look for when you are buying your own laundry sorter.
Feature #1 - Removable Bags
When you are going to purchase your own laundry sorter, one of the most important features to look for is one that comes with removable bags. Not every sorter has this option. The removable bags are a great feature because it allows you to remove them easily. This allows you to quickly dump a load into the wash instead of removing them piece by piece. Another benefit is that you can throw them in the wash and make sure you keep them clean and free from smells.
Feature #2 - Wheels
Another top feature to look for when you buy a laundry sorter is wheels. You probably don't want to carry all those clothes from one room into the laundry room. If the sorter has wheels on it, just wheel it down the hall and into the laundry room without a problem. No more back strains from having to carry that laundry.
While there are many other features you can find on a laundry sorter, you'll find that removable bags and wheels are the two most important ones. If you can find one that has both of these features, you have definitely found a quality one worth spending your money on.

• 0 commentsWhile a laundry sorter may not be a glamorous purchase, it is one that can definitely make your life a whole lot easier. If your laundry wears you out, a good sorter can make a big difference. These sorters keep clothing sorted so you can easily and quickly wash loads without spending a huge amount of time going through it all and sorting it. The great thing is that there are many options available that you can choose from.
First, you'll find that the prices of a laundry sorter can vary greatly. There are some sorters that are as cheap as about $10, while others may cost you about $80 or so. Of course, this all depends on the one that you choose. It's a good idea to know what you can spend before you go shopping and look for a good one that will meet your laundry needs.
There are many options to choose from when it comes to the number of compartments as well. Some sorters only have two compartments - one for lights and one for darks. Others can have as many as six different compartments in them. Think about the usual loads you do and then choose a sorter that will work well with that.
Different sizes are available when you're looking for a laundry sorter. The more compartments they have, usually they larger they are. Consider the amount of space you have available before making your decision to ensure you have enough room for the sorter.
Some of the sorters have extra features, such as pockets on the sides where you can store detergents and other laundry items. You'll also find that some have wheels, which can definitely be helpful if you have a long way to go between your room and the laundry room.

• 0 commentsMany people end up with laundry chaos in their home, making it difficult to even know what is clean and what is dirty. This is definitely not an effective way to sort your clothing. One great solution to the chaos in your bathroom is purchasing a laundry sorter. The sorter is basically designed to help you sort clothing before it's time to wash it.
Usually a laundry sorter has two to four different sections in it. This allows you to keep clothing in separate compartments when you first take it off. You can separate by whites, lights, and darks, or you can come up with a different sorting system of your own. You may even want to have a section available for items that are dry clean only or delicate.
The benefit of a laundry sorter is that it takes the frustrating of having to go through piles of clothing later on trying to sort them. You get everything all sorted out throughout the week. Then when it is time to do laundry, you can easily throw in the loads, since they are already sorted for you. It definitely makes the process a lot easier and faster for you.
There are some laundry sorters that have permanent compartments, while others use canvas bags for the compartments. The bags are preferable, since you can easily take them out and wash them as well. Sometimes you'll even find sorters that come with labels on them so you can label each compartment for the type of clothing that is supposed to go in it. You'll definitely find that a sorter can get you organized making that laundry day a lot easier for you.
