Costco Has A Sleek Laundry Basket & Storage Solution For Better Organization

You spend what feels like hours sorting through dirty clothes on laundry day — lights, darks, delicates — just drowning in a mountain of t-shirts and pajamas. You wish doing laundry were easier, but you're not exactly sure how to organize everything. Given that the average family tosses approximately 300 piles of clothing into the wash each year, it's clear that you're not alone in wanting to make the process less arduous. Sometimes, using products that assist with all the sorting and storing, like the Trinity Bamboo Laundry Station at Costco, can help you streamline laundry day and ease a bit of the chaos.

This specific laundry station holds three separate bags that can be detached individually. There are also three shelves along the side of the station that can be used to organize and store anything from laundry supplies to extra towels. If you're looking for ways to organize your laundry room, this might be a good addition to the space. Of course, it doesn't have to be limited to where you wash your linens. You can set this up wherever you find yourself tossing dirty clothes at the end of the day.

One of the biggest time-sucks of laundry day is sorting through all the dirty clothes that have piled up, because now you have to separate the lights and darks, or whatever grouping you prefer to do your wash in. But you can get all of that time back by sorting clothes as you put them in the laundry baskets to begin with, by using a separate basket for each, called the three-bin system. The Trinity Bamboo Laundry Station comes with three separate laundry bags, hung in a row on its railing. You can designate one for darks, one for lights, and one for delicates. As each bag gets full, lift it off the station using the curved handles. No sorting required when it's time to take it to the wash.

If you're looking for savvy tips for organizing your laundry room, consider setting up the laundry station in there so you can use the three attached shelves for supplies like detergent, dryer sheets, and stain remover. You can also set the station up in a bedroom for the convenience of not having to walk your clothing to the laundry room each evening. The shelves can be used to store extra bedsheets or blankets. Alternatively, you can set up the laundry station in the bathroom and use the exterior shelves for towels and toiletries.

This product has an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 on Costco's website. At least one customer has been able to streamline her laundry day with this product, saying, "I got this to address the fact that I am constantly overwhelmed by my laundry. Not only is it helping beautifully, it also looks great. I thought there was no way it would live up to my laundry-organization fantasies but it totally has! I used to have loose hampers EVERWHERE and now it looks completely different." Some customer reviews say it fits really well in their bathroom, and others say it works great in their laundry room.

While most reviews are positive, there were a few that noted that the product was delivered with broken parts. This item is currently only available online, though it can be returned to any Costco store, if needed. It does come disassembled, but as one customer said, "Set up was surprisingly easy (took me about 30 minutes by myself)."

Costco's website recommends that, if you need to wash the laundry bags, handwash them in cold water. One customer review notes that they put one of the laundry bags into the wash on the cold setting instead of handwashing it, and even though they kept it out of the dryer, it still shrank.
