Dead Simple Ways to Make Your Laundry Room Easier to Use

No one likes doing laundry, especially when the laundry room is a disaster and almost impossible to use. But, there are some very simple ways you can update your laundry room to make it more functional.

The projects you decide to take on and the changes you make will depend on how big your laundry room is and what you want to accomplish in the room. Here are some simple ways to make doing laundry easier.

Get Organized

Take advantage of things like closets and cupboards by using closet organizers and organizing detergents, dryer sheets and cleaning supplies. You can also add your own organization systems by installing shelves, wire racks and adding bookcases. Add some bins to make storing lots of things out of sight easy.

Maintain Appliances

One of the best things you can do for your laundry room is maintain your appliances. Clean out your washer and dryer, including lint traps and vents, regularly. Make sure your sinks are working well and drains are cleared. For professional maintenance, contact a plumber who specializes in appliance and boiler repair on Long Island.

Think Function

Don’t just use your laundry room as a space to set up your washer and dryer. Make it more functional by adding a drying rack, installing a sink, creating a space for folding clothes and making other changes that make the room the ideal place to do laundry. 

Go Compact

Make accessories compact by opting for a tabletop ironing board, a drying rack that folds out from the wall and adding a tabletop over your washer and dryer. These projects save a lot of space and make it easier to use your laundry room.

Remember Details

Even small changes can make a huge difference. Installing a clothes line, adding a paper towel dispenser, keeping a box of clothes pin nearby, adding a stool and installing hooks for brooms and mops are all very simple ways to bring your laundry room to the next level.

Once you’ve made these changes, you won’t have any excuse to procrastinate doing laundry! You can find more tips for updating your laundry room on the Pat Dolan Plumbing website. If you need assistance with appliance repair or installation, drain cleaning or boiler repair on Long Island, contact us.
