So you need a laundry basket in every family member’s room? No problem. And you need an extra one in the garage? No sweat. What about an extra bin to hold the dog’s toys? This pack of six durable, square-designed laundry baskets is just the ticket to keep your household clean and tidy. Sterilite designed these laundry baskets to be easily stackable, durable, and comfortable. Each one holds up to 53 liters of clothing (or one person’s laundry for a week) and sports a reinforced rim for durability, no matter what you put it through. The comfort-grip handles help you easily lift the basket from the floor to the washing machine without tired or painful hands.

There are a few features that truly stand out on this Sterilite 6-Pack Ultra Square Laundry Basket’s design — one, the square shape is perfect for closet storage, under the bed, in the corner of the bathroom, or even on the garage shelves. Two, the hole pattern offers great ventilation so that your dirty clothes don’t get stinkier. And three, these baskets are designed to be snag-proof. There’s no worry that your clothes will rip on any part of this laundry basket, giving you the peace of mind to clean up and organize away!

Mind Reader Laundry Basket is a simple laundry basket that still has a lot to offer. The aerated design will allow air to flow freely through your dirty laundry to eliminate bad odors and reduce harmful bacteria growth. The four handles — one on each of the four sides — allow you to safely and comfortably grasp the basket in any direction. 40 liters of storage capacity gives you plenty of room for a large load of laundry, but the dimensions are designed to be as compact and minimalist as possible. If you need to use this laundry basket for storage, pop the included lid on top and stack them up. This lightweight design only weighs two pounds with the lid included, so there’s no worry about breaking your back with each load of laundry. Our only note of hesitation is that the handles may not be the most comfortable with large or heavy loads of laundry since they are not reinforced with comfort grip and could dig into your palms or fingers.

A revolutionary design made for the launderer-on-the-go. This Rubbermaid Hip-Hugging Laundry Basket can be carried in a multitude of ways, but most importantly, it’s made to carry one-handed while resting on your hip. We’ve all done it; sometimes, it’s easier to carry your laundry against your hip rather than haul it in front of you with both hands. Rubbermaid took that approach and revolutionized the comfort aspect by curving one side more ergonomically. Place the curve on your hip, hold onto the comfort grip handle across the basket, and go along your merry cleaning way.

However, if the situation calls for it, Rubbermaid also includes two comfortable handles on the narrower ends of the laundry basket for help lifting and moving your clothes. This laundry basket can hold 74 liters of clothes, which is plenty large enough for an average laundry load. The cut-out design allows for ventilation in your dirty laundry but won’t snag or tear your laundry as you move it. The reinforced lip adds to its stability and durability that will withstand hundreds of loads of laundry.

Does your family produce some serious mounds of laundry? One laundry basket isn’t going to cut it, then. Each of these four tall laundry baskets holds over 70 liters of clean and dirty laundry, so you’ll have plenty of storage space to negotiate which load’s going into the wash and what’s coming out clean. The abundant hole pattern allows ventilation for your dirty clothes but allows your clean clothes to waft their fresh, warm scent, as well. Each Sterilite Tall Laundry Basket features two cut-out handles with reinforced plastic rims for durability while you lift the family’s laundry. The tall, slightly tapered design makes it easy to use with a wide opening for easier access. This USA-manufactured laundry basket 4-pack will make your laundry day infinitely easier, just like some of these amazing laundry pods from our list.

Rubbermaid Bushel Laundry Basket is your classic laundry basket made by a lauded household brand. While we can’t justify the price jump to more than double its original price, you can find this laundry basket at nearly any home goods store for its far more reasonable price. This low and wide design allows for easy access to the bottom of the basket, while the handle option makes it easy to lift and transport your laundry from room to room. The carrying capacity of 56 liters can tackle the weekly laundry of a small family easily or transport loads between washer and dryer smoothly. The smooth window-pane cutouts won’t snag your laundry, while the lightweight of this laundry basket won’t anger your sore back, either!

For those who like the look of laundry hampers but need something sturdy and waterproof, Like-It Scandinavia Style Round Laundry Basket is just the ticket. Large enough to hold a week’s worth of laundry yet slim enough to tuck into a corner easily, this laundry basket was made for space-savers. The large, extended handles make carrying this basket an easy task, while the crossed mesh design allows for the most ventilation of any laundry basket on our list. The slightly tapered design makes it easy to stack multiple of these laundry hampers for easy storage, too. Weighing under two pounds, you won’t strain your arms lifting this laundry basket unless you weigh it down with wet clothing. (Did we mention this laundry basket is waterproof, as well?)

Another comfortable hip-hugging design, this IRIS USA, Inc. 3-Pack Comfort Carry Laundry Basket gives you the freedom to carry with one hand or two. Three comfort grip handles make this basket’s versatility even easier to use, while the reinforced plastic ensures stability and durability for hundreds of laundry loads. Since this option includes three baskets, you’ll never be stuck without a place to put your clean or dirty clothes again. Each laundry basket holds up to 49 liters of laundry, plenty of capacity for a whole load of towels or washing all of your bedding. The porthole cut out design allows for airflow through your laundry, and the reinforced lip makes it sturdier to carry. These three baskets are easily stacked on top of each other for convenient storage when they’re not needed.

This multi-purpose laundry basket may be one of our most aesthetically pleasing options. The beautiful woven lattice design is not only attractive; it provides fantastic ventilation for your dirty laundry, so bad smells and mildew won’t be a problem. Although this pack of four laundry baskets is on the smaller end of carrying capacities on our list, this can make them extremely versatile as additional storage options. Use two baskets for laundry, while the other two serve as office storage or a toy box. Each laundry basket is made from high-quality, durable plastic for strength and long, useful life. Yarebest 4-Pack Grey Woven Laundry Baskets can be easily stacked when they’re not in use and measure less than 5 inches tall — perfect for shelf storage and closet space.
