Laundry day doesn’t have to be boring and time-consuming. Follow these tips on organizing your laundry room so laundry day will go smoothly and quickly!
Sorting, washing, drying, and folding laundry is boring. Not to mention time-consuming. I get it! I hate doing laundry, too!
Mainly because to get to my laundry room I have to go down to the basement. And to get to my basement I have to go outside. So, for me doing laundry when it’s 100 degrees or 20 degrees outside is NOT fun. (Now do you understand why I cannot wait to move into a new home?)
However, keeping the laundry room clean and organized makes it a little less horrible and a little easier to manage. When everything is organized and put away, things go a little smoother and quicker.
Organizing a laundry room doesn’t have to cost you a pile of money, either. Keep reading to learn how you can start organizing your laundry room on a budget so laundry days become a little more bearable.

Before you start organizing your laundry room, consider the items that actually need to be in the room. Here’s a list of items that should be stored in your laundry room.
1. Remove everything
The first step in organizing your laundry room is to remove everything. Empty any cabinets and take everything off the shelves. Check dates on products and throw away anything that is expired. If you have products you bought years ago and never used, consider passing them on to someone who will use them.
Take out anything that doesn’t belong in the laundry room. Put it in a box or basket to be put away later when you have more time.
Next, wipe off detergent bottles that have spills and anything else that needs cleaning. Wipe down shelves and cabinet doors.
2. Group items together
After you’ve cleaned out everything, start grouping like items together. For example, place cleaning supplies together, laundry supplies together, and so on.
3. Organize
Start organizing your laundry room by placing items in storage containers or baskets. Dollar Tree has some great plastic storage containers that work perfectly for keeping items together. And you can add a tag to the outside of the container so you know what’s inside without taking it off the shelf.
