1. A charming waterproof laundry basket fully equipped with a lid, handles, and the ability to be folded up – that way, you can toss those dirty clothes in there without needing to take another look until laundry day!
Promising review: "A great buy! I would 100% recommend! I mean, I guess we don’t really give much thought to where we throw our dirty undies and such but I feel like this is the place for them! A nice sturdy product, easy to put together, nice big size and it looks nice......what more can you ask for?? For real though, my toddler could have successfully put this thing together. It really was that easy. Tighten a few screws and you rollin’ babbbyyyyy. Bada bing bada boom, done. Put the laundry bag in, tie it and you’re all done. If you’re not sure if you want to buy it, do it! You’ll be glad you did." —Sammy

2. A heavy duty Rae Dunn laundry hamper to roll around from room to room for making the collection of stray dirty clothes a breeze. Wait, how long have those socks been hiding under the couch?
Promising review: "Worth the money! This is an awesome hamper! I was nervous it would not be able to handle the XL loads of laundry I always do but it's perfect. I've had it for a while now and washed the insert multiple times. No fading...still looks new! Its very sturdy and not cheaply made. So happy I picked this one." —chris

3. A collapsible laundry basket for the person who can't stand clutter and really just needs something that can be hidden away when it's not in use. Bonus perk: If you have a small pet, this can be filled up with water for bath time!
You'll definitely want to check out some of these genius laundry tips our readers swear by, too.
Promising review: "THE ANSWER to our dilemma! The easiest way to collapse the wash basket is to turn it upside down and place it on the floor. Then you can gently press down, and it folds up quickly and almost effortlessly. I am thrilled that I can store it in the closet, where it doesn't take up too much space at all. Brilliant product!" —Dot Calm
Get it from Amazon for $27.86+ (available in eight colors).
4. A bestselling large collapsible laundry basket with a round handle and the word "laundry" printed down its side – you know, in case you forget what it's there for.
And while we're here, here are some other things that'll help make laundry day a breeze.
Promising review: "This is by far the BEST laundry bag I have ever purchased. It perfectly holds about one to one and a half loads and is extremely sturdy. I applaud whoever designed this. It has made my trips to the laundry room so much better. The handles are comfortable to use, it doesn't stink, and it isn't an eyesore. Seriously, buy this bag. You will not be disappointed with this purchase." —Ryan Senne
Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).
5. A massive laundry basket on wheels if you're the kind of person who waits 'til you're wearing your last set of clean clothes before heading to the laundry room – 'cause by then, your dirty laundry pile is probably pretty impressive (and heavy).
I once lived in a building where the laundry room was on the top floor...and I was in the apartment furthest from the laundry room on the bottom floor. I had to have a laundry basket on wheels but the wheels always got stuck and it was honestly embarrassing because it was so obvious I was struggling trying to get the dang thing to the laundry room. My mom eventually got so tired of hearing about my hamper woes that she bought me this one for my birthday (thanks, Mom!). I put it together (make sure you follow the instructions and tighten all the bolts), threw all my dirty clothes in it, and effortlessly brought it up with me (in the elevator, of course) to the laundry room. If you need to bring your laundry from point A to point B, this hamper will be your BFF – especially if you have a lot of stuff to wash!
Get it from Amazon for $68.99+ (available in three colors).
6. A budget-friendly pop-up laundry basket with handles made of breathable mesh boasting over 32,000 5-star reviews from people who've now dubbed it a household staple.
Promising review: "Will this hamper show up on time to work every day? Yes. Sick days? This hamper never takes them. This hamper doesn’t quit. It’s not looking for excuses to underperform. It’s here to work and work it does. This hamper will be there at its desk pushing papers until there are no more papers to push. This hamper didn’t lie on its resume. What you see is what you get. This hamper is loyal and knows its place. It doesn’t ask for special treatment because it’s too busy getting the job done. I can rely on this hamper and I’d bet that you can, too." —BMJ
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors and packs of one or two).
7. A small double laundry hamper with a lid and removable laundry bags so you can wash everything at once to keep the hamper and your clothes smelling like lavender goodness (or, you know, whatever your detergent happens to smell like).
Promising review: "I can't believe I'm writing a review for a hamper, but here we are. I was in the market for a hamper with a lid since my dirty laundry can no longer live in my closet after moving. I also like to separate my clothes using my weird system so that things I might wear again (jeans, sweatpants, you get it) aren't buried in the hamper alongside my unmentionables. Enter: this hamper. It was simple to put together straight out of the box and it holds just the right amount of clothes. Overall, this is a great hamper for anyone who is looking to make their dirty clothes disappear from sight." —Kerry
Get it from Amazon for $30.97+ (available in eight colors).
8. A small collapsible laundry basket touting a waterproof lining dotted with fun patterns to add some ~liveliness~ to your laundering quarters.
Promising review: "I love this little basket. I purposely searched for a small laundry basket for our small bathroom and this was a great size.

9. A classic plastic Rubbermaid laundry basket you and/or your friends probably had growing up – and it's still around for a reason. It's super durable and will last you years (and years and years) of use. Seriously, just ask your parents.
Promising review: "Bought two of these to replace one that fell apart after 20 years (seriously!) of home use. What a relief to have them back! I just finished three loads of laundry. My clothes aren't wrinkled and my back doesn't ache. These lil' guys make laundry day a cinch. Nothing tops these affordable, sturdy, lightweight baskets that are easy to carry on your hips, shoulder, or in front of you." —Brandy Whitten
Get it from Amazon for $34.22+ (available in three sizes).

So while we're discussing how to keep your piles of dirty clothes at bay, here are some other tips and tricks to (correctly) clean your house from top to bottom.
Promising review: "I love my corner hamper! I was pleasantly surprised when I got it! It looks great! It is not an eyesore at all. Actually, it makes my room look better. It has been over six months and even with my destructive 7-year-old son it is holding up great! I am not good at putting things together and I was so worried about that but honestly it took me less than 10 minutes. My house looks better and more tidy! I am going to get one for my son and put it in his room! I still can't get over how nice it looks!" —Raye

11. A collapsible laundry basket you can effortlessly carry with one hand so you don't have to worry about how you'll balance your iced coffee on your way to the laundromat. Oh, and it comes in a pack of two!
Promising review: "These are great for safely carrying laundry upstairs from a basement laundry room. The handles let you still hold the handrail for safety. They hold a lot and are lightweight. Collapsing them for compact storage is fast and easy. I have also given them as gifts and everyone likes them." —SingMom
Get it from Amazon for $39.44+ (available with or without a divider).
12. A three-bag laundry sorter on wheels to make organizing your lights, darks, and towels easy peasy. Or if you happen to have two other roommates, you could each split up your laundry using this little sorter so no one ever wears someone else's socks by accident (again).
Promising review: "Doing laundry is so much better now. It cut my time in half because I don’t have to separate the colors from the lights and darks. I like that there are three separate bags that come off of the rack. The bag is made out of a waterproof canvas that you can remove the hooks from to wash every once in a while. I also like how you can cart it around the house so you don’t have to do a lot of heavy lifting. it also looks great and matches our house so it’s not an eyesore. I totally recommend this" —Kaylin D
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
13. A four-pack of classic Sterilite plastic laundry baskets to make carrying all your stuff from room to room a simple task (as it should be). Three cheers for handles!
Side note: If you also happen to be in the market for your very own washer and dryer, these washer/dryer sets are here to ~wash away~ all your problems (AKA those red wine stains from last night).
Promising review: "Before I got these, I just had piles of clothes on the floor of my laundry room...and by laundry room, I mean the corner of my basement, next to the furnace and water heater. The clothes were already dirty, but having them sit on the basement floor was just not right. So I got these to separate my clothes and give my teeny tiny section of the basement a little organization. I love them. They're a good height. Full, they're about the size of a large load in the washer. They keep my clothes off the gross basement floor and away from bugs. All in all, I'm very happy with them, their size, their sturdiness. They make doing laundry much more pleasant." —Emily Mueller
Get it from Amazon for $36.34.
14. A collapsible linen laundry basket with fun prints, including a very motivational one that reminds you what's at stake if you don't clean your clothes today.
Promising review: "It stands by itself, making it a great laundry basket. The waterproofing allows me to use it in the bathroom without worrying about a leak making my dry but dirty clothes moldy/mildewed. Filled, it is the size of a regular-large load. It's washable and dry-able. I keep this as my bathroom hamper. When it's full I easily carry it to the washer/laundromat by the sturdy handles, pop the clothes and bag/basket into the washer, then to the dryer, then remove the bag first, fold the clean laundry into it, put the clean stuff away, and the bag/basket goes back to hold more dirty laundry. If I had a larger family, every bedroom and every bathroom of my home would have one of these baskets/bags!" —CTCMEGASUSS
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 17 colors).
15. A double laundry hamper complete with handles and removable laundry bags to encourage you to *actually* separate your lights and darks. (I know, it seems like a daunting task...but you'll be a laundry-separating pro in no time with this little number.)
Promising review: " I’ve had this for a couple of months now and definitely recommend it. It takes about two minutes to assemble and looks nice enough to keep in the bedroom outside of a closet. I like that it comes with two washable laundry bags that I can easily remove to take the laundry from my second floor bedroom to the basement laundry room. A lot of hampers don’t come with bags so this was a big plus for me. Having two sections makes it easy to sort different types of laundry, like light colors and dark colors or clothes in one side and towels in the other. It’s also priced a lot better than similar items that don’t look as nice or don’t come with bags." —Shopper1234
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors).
16. A slim laundry basket on wheels to conveniently roll into small places for anyone who's already running low on space...and the piles of laundry definitely aren't helping.
Since nothing is more disappointing than pulling your "clean" clothes out of the dryer and still finding stains on them, these borderline-magical cleaning products will solve all (and I mean all) of your stain-cleaning woes – even the ones not on your clothes!
Promising review: "These hampers just arrived today and I literally ran up to our laundry room to set them up...then I ran to get my phone to leave a review because I like them that much! They’re lightweight yet sturdy because of the brilliant design that uses poles (like tent poles) to give structure to the hamper. The slots that you slide the poles into seem very durable because they’re seen with sturdy canvas on both sides. I love the hook and loop (“Velcro”) fastening to keep the poles in place. I LOVE that these have wheels! These hampers fit perfectly behind the laundry room door and I can just roll them over to the washing machine. I bought two right away so I also had one for dirty rags. I’m going to buy a third one (because there’s just enough room with them being so skinny) for my toddler’s wet clothes when he has an accident and I’m going to get rid of his big, clunky diaper pail, finally! Thank you for helping me organize my laundry room and making my life easier! Sincerely, a super busy mom with an unorganized laundry room." —Kate Smith
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 10 colors).
17. A chic (yes, chic) bamboo laundry basket designed with a removable inner bag with handles so you can pull it out and take it with you when you need to head to the washing machine.
Promising review: "I spent hours searching for a budget-friendly, small but not too small, and attractive lidded hamper and this ticks all the boxes! It holds the same amount of clothes as your standard large spring-up hampers but make my bedroom look way more put together! And the bag inside can unclip and has handles for easy carrying to the laundry room or laundromat." —SusieLRB
Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in three colors).
18. An extra large cotton rope laundry basket for you to corral all your towels, blankets, clothes, or just about anything else in. Plus, its neutral tones make it suuuper easy to match the rest of your home decor.
Promising review: "I literally just opened my basket from the mail and had to write about how much I love, love, love it immediately. Wow! Way better quality than I anticipated for the cost. I’m already thinking about my next basket I’ll buy from them. This is HUGE! I easily fit five blankets in it. I would like to get another to store pillows. I am just tickled with this purchase!!" —Jomojo
Get it from Amazon for $27.19+ (available in eight colors).
19. A foldable synthetic rattan double laundry hamper with a lid, divider, and handles to help you maintain a tidy living space without being an eyesore.
Promising review: "A terrible curse has been lifted. Clothes on my bedroom floor always bothered me, but it seemed to be my fate until I got this hamper. I used to walk on my clothes because the other solutions were just as much as an eyesore or took up too much space. Now I'm so dignified, and I cannot fathom, 'Whhho could live like that?!' Lol. I'm becoming the woman my mom always wanted me to be, finally!! Who knew a hamper could change my life?! It's an amazingly beautiful dirty clothes holder! It doesn't take up much space at all. The sturdiness exceeds my expectations. I see us living happily ever after." —Princesa Jeni

20. A waterproof striped laundry hamper boasting a collapsible design and a spacious interior capable of holding one and a half to two loads of laundry, that way you can make less trips to the laundry room. You're welcome in advance.
Promising review: "We are a family of four with two young kids. We have A LOT of laundry. I LOVE this laundry basket. It holds two full loads of laundry and collapses for easy storage. The handles make it easy and comfortable to carry. The material is sturdy and waterproof. I like the gray and white colors as well because it blends in and does not stand out. I would highly recommend!" —RunningAWade
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
21. And a foldable canvas hamper reviewers say can handle filled-to-the-brim loads for many, many years. And for the price? A no-brainer!
Promising review: "These are great for the price. I now have four of them to help organize my different types of dirty laundry. I've had two of them for a few years and they've held up great. I've loaded them to the top with heavy sweatshirts and pants to the point that it's a workout to bring them down to the laundry room, and there have been no problems with anything coming apart or ripping. These are cheap enough to buy a bunch and they stack neatly together." —culturejamming
Get it from Amazon for $15.06.
See, laundry time isn't so bad, right?
