Whether or not you're a member, there are lots of highly-rated items at Costco to help turn your house into a home. They vary wildly, too, from everyday groceries and cleaning products to decorative adornments and storage solutions to organize even the most cluttered spaces. In this guide, we're going to focus on the latter, and more specifically, we're going to explore the chain's best solutions to help eliminate clutter in your laundry room.

You might have a collection of half-used detergent bottles, fabric softeners, and stain-removal products that have outgrown the cupboard beneath your laundry room sink. Alternatively, you might simply need a better way to organize the space inside that cabinet. If so, there are several solutions below to help. You'll also find ways to keep dirty laundry from fouling up your floorspace, and to keep freshly cleaned clothes neatly folded and organized. From shelves and folding stations to rolling laundry caddies, if you're ready to reclaim your laundry room, the products from Costco featured below are likely to help you do it.

Smaller laundry rooms naturally demand a pared-back approach to storage. Trinity's EcoStorage 3-tier Cart offers three shelves of storage in an easy, pull-around cart. It's one of Costco's best space-saving shelving units, since it can be moved in and out of the way when you need it. You can choose to mount it without the supplied casters, although if you're buying it for laundry storage, you may as well leave them on. Even on the casters, the unit can withstand up to 800 pounds of weight (226 pounds per shelf), which the average household laundry probably won't need to exceed.

The material the unit's made from is food-safe, in case you're using it around your kitchen. As for price, it currently retails for $79.99, and in case you're hesitant about quality without seeing it in person, it's also rated 4.8 stars overall. "I purchased it for the laundry room," said one happy buyer. "It works perfectly!" Another, who described it as "One of my best purchases!" explained, "I use the top shelf for folding and then transporting laundry to our bedroom. No more walking up and down the hallway with a heavy laundry basket."

While Trinity's range of vari-sized shelves are a fan favorite for tackling garage clutter, some of them can also be very useful in the laundry room. The brand's EcoStorage 4-Tier Corner Wire Shelving Rack with Wheels is one. It's especially well-suited to awkward, otherwise-unused corners, providing additional vertical storage space for your various detergents, softeners, and other accessories. Its shape makes it easy to access the shelves' contents, even if the unit is hemmed on either side by other shelves or cabinets. The shelves are adjustable in 1-inch increments, enabling you to customize your storage. And since each shelf can hold up to 200 pounds, you could use it to declutter other items in your space — not just your laundry essentials. 

A $119.99 price tag buys the unit, which includes four shelves and sturdy caster wheels, which make it easier to move around should you need to. And like Trinity's 3-tier cart, this product has a solid 4.8-star rating. "We use it in our laundry closet and it fits perfectly," said one user. Another, who titled their review "shelving success," added, "Love it! Perfect fit for corner. Just wish it had an additional shelf."

Depending on the amount of laundry you have to wrestle with each week and the space available in your laundry room, Costco has a variety of laundry baskets to choose from. This Bamboo Laundry Hamper from Oceanstar is just one, and offers a practical, single-basket solution that's ideal for smaller spaces. You can use it to toss dirty clothes in instead of letting them gather in the bedrooms and bathroom, and when it's closed, you can enjoy its warm and stylish, fluted-bamboo build.

You don't necessarily need to keep it in your laundry room, either. A pull-out polyester basket means you can keep it upstairs and then carry the basket downstairs when you need to run a wash. Alternatively, you could keep it in your laundry room and use it as a hamper for clean clothes. Either way, most users seem to agree that it's a practical, aesthetically pleasing solution — even if its $79.99 price tag is somewhat pricier than standard baskets. "A bit pricey," said one buyer, "but I liked this so much I ordered 3 more to replace all my hampers. It looks great, and it feels good."

Next up is Trinity's 3-bag Laundry Cart with Flip-up Top, which aims to blend the utility of a kitchen storage cart with the practicality of a laundry hamper. It's mounted on sturdy casters, allowing you to wheel it around your laundry room whenever you need it. The flip-up top provides a useful folding station, and underneath, three large baskets provide space to organize your clean clothes, instead of having them pile up precariously on your counter. All of this is framed with dark-gray powder-coated steel, which is capable of withstanding the often-humid conditions found inside a laundry room. Those baskets are removable, too, making it easier for you (or your kids) to grab the clean clothes when it's time to put them away.

Diving into user feedback, it seems that the majority are delighted they decided to invest in this particular laundry solution. At $74.99, it buys more in terms of functionality than the previous bamboo piece, and it does it for slightly less, too, which is always nice to know. And while it doesn't work as hard to hide the laundry baskets, that doesn't mean that it's not decorative. As one user said, it's "Definitely an upgrade from the plastic flimsy and hole infested mesh three bagger I had before. This one is way more elegant, practical and sturdy. Arrived super fast from online and the price was great."

If you're happy sticking with regular laundry baskets, but still need to de-clutter your laundry room floor, a folding basket can make your caddies much easier to store. Pop and Load's Collapsible Laundry Baskets come in sets of two, and they're priced at $29.99. Per the name, they collapse and then "pop out" when you need to use them. This makes them much more streamlined and easy to store than a regular, rigid laundry basket. And since you get two, you can keep one upstairs for dirty laundry, and one in the laundry room to receive your clean clothes.

With something that's designed to stow away when not in use, style isn't necessarily the primary concern. Nevertheless, these baskets are available in three designs: blue and white, gray and white, and solid gray. With an overall rating of 4.6 stars, the majority of users hold that the baskets are both useful and practical in small spaces. It is worth noting that some users have cited problems with the collapsible rubber strips cracking after repeated use. Some also noted that the baskets collapse too easily when they're full. With that being said, the majority of buyers are pleased with the baskets overall. Certainly, as one user put it, "The ability to reclaim floor space by storing them flat is invaluable. They are highly recommended for any space-conscious consumer."

For countertop laundry room clutter like detergents, softeners, laundry pegs, stain removers, and more, a couple of baskets can help to give them a dedicated, tidy home. Edifice's Mesh Baskets with Handles feature an attractive, powder-coated metal mesh design (available in white or black), along with decorative wooden carry handles. Per the spec, they're built to last thanks to a commercial-grade steel construction, which also means that they're more than up to carrying the weight of your various laundry liquids.

They're currently available at Costco for $28.99, and while only 29 users have reviewed them to date, every last one has awarded them 5 stars. Some said that they're an excellent solution for decluttering the bathroom and other easily disorganized spaces. Others explained that, even after a month of use, the baskets still look brand new. As one user put it, "Nice wire tote to store things in that are used often or want at the finger tips. I would purchase again."

In laundry rooms that double as coat storage, a dedicated clothes rack is a good idea to keep clothes off the floor and counters. Seville Classics' 3-Bag Laundry Sorter with Adjustable Clothes Bar is a versatile solution for smaller laundry rooms. It features a hanging bar, which you can use to store coats or jackets, or to hang-dry your clothes to keep them wrinkle-free. Either way, it also includes a three-bin laundry sorter below, which is equally useful for organizing clean laundry — making distribution to different rooms around the house much easier than a single, jumbled pile.

All in, the unit is priced at $69.99, which, compared to the other products featured so far, feels like good value. It also comes with strong user feedback; in fact, it's currently rated 4.8 stars with more than 900 reviews to date. "A Total Game-Changer for Laundry Day," said one buyer, who described it as a massive upgrade versus traditional baskets. They added, "The addition of the adjustable hanging bar makes it a complete 'laundry station' rather than just a place to stash dirty clothes."

This Handwoven Water Hyacinth Laundry Hamper from Seville Classics is well-suited to those who just need a simple laundry hamper. It hides your dirty clothes away behind a beautiful, handwoven "shell," and inside, it includes two bins to separate different clothes — like colors and whites. Alternatively, it would make a useful way for couples to organize their clean laundry.

Strangely, this classic woven-hamper style is in rather short supply at Costco, which makes it something of a unique find for those who regularly shop there. And while it currently costs $56.99, that doesn't seem to matter to those who've taken the time to review it. One user, who bought two for their laundry room and bedroom, said, "They are nicely made, divided hampers with removable, washable liners. They smell nice, too. I love them. The perfect size for the two of us."

Offering a different decorative take on laundry organization versus the other three-binned solutions is Trinity's Bamboo Laundry Station. It features three deep laundry baskets in a charcoal-gray fabric. Each is rimmed with natural-colored bamboo and mounted on a painted bamboo frame (available in gray or white). Finishing the ensemble, a full-width bamboo countertop offers space to store things like detergents and softeners (or those aforementioned baskets). Alternatively, you could use the top as a folding station.

It's among several Costco solutions that can help to declutter your bathroom and laundry room. As a dirty laundry sorter, you and your kids can toss used towels and dirty clothes inside, with the removable bags making it easy to take everything downstairs to the washer. Alternatively, like other similar solutions, you could use it to organize your clean clothes. "I love this hamper!" said one buyer. "I had one basket before and each week I sorted it into piles before washing. Now I just drop each piece in the right basket as I go each night. When one bin looks almost full, I dump all contents into my big washer. It saves me so much time by taking out the sorting."

Having a quality hamper in the laundry room is all well and good, but if your dirty clothes tend to pile up in the bedroom or bathroom, then it's worth having one there, too. Baum's Rectangular Tapered Hampers come in sets of two, each set costing $69.99. You can keep one in the laundry room, for folding and storing clean clothes until they're ready to put away, instead of piling up on your counters. The other, you can keep where it's most needed for catching dirty laundry — be that in the bedroom, bathroom, or even on the landing.

They come in gray or white, although only the latter is currently available on the Costco website. And while only nine users have reviewed the hampers so far, all of those gave it full marks. "Replaced two other hampers we had purchased in the warehouse," said one buyer. "Those were collapsible and just didn't last. You will find these to be well made and sturdy. Highly recommend."

If your laundry room has a sink and cabinet, then there's only so much you can squeeze into the cupboard before it becomes tricky to access the items at the back. A slide-out drawer can make those items easier to reach when you need them. There are several such products available at Costco; however, Trinity's Wire Undersink Organizer with Slide is the only one dedicated to the unique requirements of under-sink storage. It features two packs of two-tiered organizers, each of which slides out to make all four drawers — and their contents — easy to access. The set is also designed to slot neatly around your under-sink plumbing, which can make tidy storage tricky.

It's currently priced at $74.99, which also buys the hardware required to install it, and it's compatible with all 13-inch (and wider) cabinets. "Highly recommend these shelves if you want to de-clutter under your sink," said one user. Another, who described the set as a "Good buy!" added, "Really well made and easy to install. I'm not the least bit handy and I did it."

Another set of shelves worth considering for your laundry room is this 3-tier Modular Wire Shelving Rack from Trinity. Per the name, it's modular — supplied in two pieces that can either be used separately in different parts of the room, or stacked to create a larger, single set. It's priced at $64.99, and for laundry rooms where form is as important as function, it's available in black, chrome, and bronze finishes.

Each shelf can withstand up to 150 pounds of weight, which ought to cover the needs of most laundry detergent collections. The shelves are also adjustable, depending on the size of the bottles or baskets you need to store on them. The shelving material is food-safe, although that will only matter in laundry rooms that also double as additional pantry storage. Either way, and however you use it, a 4.8-star overall rating instills plenty of confidence that the set shouldn't let you down when it arrives. "These shelving units are adjustable and very versatile," said one buyer. "I have them in my laundry room, so all my laundry supplies are organized and off the floor. Easy to assemble and look great."

One of the more versatile clutter solvers in this guide, Luxor's 3-shelf Heavy-Duty Cart serves as more of a caddy than a static storage solution. It's priced at $112.99 and comprises three shelves, which you can use to organize your various laundry supplies. You can keep it in the corner when you're not using it, and fill it with your detergents, softeners, and stain-removal products. Then, when you're ready, you can wheel it to where you need it. Alternatively, it would make a useful storage space for clean clothes, providing you with a folding table on top plus two shelves for keeping those folded garments tidy.

The cart is made from high-density foam-molded plastic, which doesn't scratch, stain, dent, or rust — handy in more functional spaces like the laundry room. It can also hold up to 500 pounds, which you're unlikely to exceed if you are, indeed, using it for laundry. Reading through the reviews, buyers have found myriad uses for this product, proving just how easily a simple cart can transform the home decluttering process. One user, who bought it for their laundry room, described it as simply "Strong and nice."
