Whether you’re happy in khakis or forever in blue jeans, your clothes get dirty just like everyone else’s, and they need to be cleaned. But in that limbo state between wearing and washing, items from your wardrobe must rely on one thing: a laundry sorter hamper. Read on for a look at some of your hamper options.

Laundry sorter hamper: Most novice clothes washers employ the throw-everything-in-at-once approach, but at a certain point you have to start taking better care of your clothes, and that means separating lights, darks, and delicates. Available with up to four compartments, a laundry sorter hamper can help you stay organized as you go.

Portable laundry hamper: When Billy Joel wrote “New York State of Mind,” he must have overlooked the trials and tribulations of the laundromat. Whether you live in the Big Apple or not, you can make your laundry trek more bearable with a hamper specifically designed to lug your clothes.

Wicker laundry hamper: For a more aesthetically pleasing look, a wicker laundry hamper is a fantastic addition to any room. Wicker goes with everything – from brushed metal to patterned fabric to, well, more wicker! You can also use a wicker laundry hamper in your family room to store extra blankets and pillows.
