But if you don’t sort your clothes before washing, all sorts of laundry mistakes can happen.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
It turns out there is a washing basket that makes sorting dirty clothes easy and less of a chore—it basically does it for you.
ota Trio laundry basket, $153.97 (usually $219.95)
The Joseph Joseph Tota Trio Laundry Basket features three 30-litre fabric bags to separate washing into lights, darks and whites as they get dirty (or however you like to store your washing). Each bag has handles at the top so you can lift and carry it straight to the machine.
“It’s made my life better”
The good news is that according to the reviews, this basket lives up to the hype.
“Go ahead and buy. You will not regret it,” wrote one person. “I originally purchased the 2 section and loved it, but I quickly upgraded to the 3 part, and I’m happy. It’s so easy, elegant and efficient to do the laundry in an apartment setting. Everyone is always intrigued by the system as you can just pick up one bag and take it directly to the laundry. I also have the JJ basket to go collect my laundry when it’s dry. I love organisation, and it’s definitely made my life better. It’s pure genius.”
Another reviewer said: “Amazing, so useful for laundry and being able to sort clothes out so easily.”
