Laundry baskets

Buy laundry baskets online at IKEA India

When purchasing laundry baskets from IKEA, you will receive thoughtfully designed products to fit your space and your needs. We have a range of options for everyday use or simply as a light storage solution for towels and linens, and they are all lightweight, breathable, and easy to get up and down.

We offer a range of laundry baskets online in several materials and sizes—from smaller versions for little corner spaces to larger ones for family loads. Shopping online means you can consider laundry basket types, sizes, and prices and decide which fits your needs best.

How to choose the right laundry basket for your home

Deciding on the appropriate laundry basket will depend on the size of your household, frequency of usage, and the space you have available. Here are some things to keep in mind: 

• Measure your available space

If you can, measure the basket's area—in the bathroom, bedroom, or laundry room. Doing this will prevent difficulties later with the size and where it will be placed.

• Choose based on laundry volume

For an individual or a couple, small to medium baskets will do. Large families will need sturdier baskets with higher capacities and strong handles.

• Consider the material and airflow

Woven or fabric baskets allow air to flow through the laundry, keeping the clothes fresher. Plastic baskets are easy to clean but should be aired out frequently.

• Decide between foldable or rigid designs

Foldable baskets are good space savers when not in use. Rigid baskets, whether plastic or woven, have more structure and are more suitable when doing laundry multiple times a week.

• Look for lids and liners

Baskets with lids will keep the laundry out of sight and keep odours in check. Baskets with removable liners are handy to carry the load and keep the basket clean after use.

All these choices will help you get a functional laundry basket while using space you might otherwise waste.

• Stylish design options: The various designs and natural finishes surrounding IKEA's laundry baskets elegantly enhance any room & add cleanliness to any laundry area—smart innovation.
• Easy to clean: Plastic baskets can be easily wiped down, while fabric baskets feature a removable support insert to help keep your everyday essentials clean and organised.

These features alone make IKEA's best laundry baskets a valuable storage item for your home! Trolley wheels are used to further the existing storage system.

Usage and care tips for maintaining your laundry basket

Regular maintenance prolongs the life of your laundry basket and keeps the home hygienic. Read below for simple suggestions: 

• Empty and clean weekly: Empty it out once a week, and clean it with a damp cloth and some gentle soap to clean off dust or odors. 
• Avoid wet clothes inside: Place damp clothes in a ventilated basket or hang them to dry before putting them away. This will reduce the possibility of mold and mildew.
• Air out fabric baskets: Air out fabric or mesh baskets weekly, just as you would for a week's laundry. The sunlight would help with drying and freshness.
• Store when not in use: If a laundry basket is foldable, put it away when you are not using it. You will save space and avoid wear and tear when you do not use it for extra time.
• Check for wear and tear: Check the state of the handles, seams, and liners for loose parts. Your laundry basket must be repaired or replaced when things loosen to keep it safe and functional.

 

Maintaining these approaches will help ensure the laundry basket you found online is clean, durable, and stylish.

Explore foldable, lidded, woven, and plastic basket options

• Foldable laundry baskets: These are convenient for any household with minimal square footage. They fold down completely flat when not in use, then pop open when needed.

• Woven laundry baskets: These are designed for people who love the natural look of woven baskets. They will fit nicely in any living space or bedroom and provide breathable storage.
