«I hate ironing, so having a portable steamer that I can use on anything from curtains to clothes is a necessity in my house. It's affordable and you can take it anywhere!»

«I have a small laundry room without a ton of storage, so I like to corral groups of items into baskets that are easy to grab. This set from Mustard Made is perfect because I can store my essentials (laundry soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets) in the large one, while storing lesser-used items in the smaller two. It's nice not to have a bunch of loose products on the shelf, and I love the bright color options!»

«I've never been an add-on laundry person—I don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets or anything like that—but the relatively new Downy Rinse & Refresh has been a game-changer for me. I add some when I wash my workout gear, and it removes odor from everything with no lingering residues—and it keeps my favorite leggings feeling like-new, too.»

We are huge fans of great laundry hacks at The Spruce, and we especially love reusing household items as easy, effective additions to your machine. This is especially true if they can replace harsh chemicals, or lessen the amount of product needed to get a load of laundry smelling great and feeling fresh.
