Utility Room Laundry Aids
A girl's best friend
Pity the generations before ours for whom laundry aids were a rock and a flowing river. Today's laundry aids have reached such heights of chemical and technological advancement that 19th-century maids would consider the modern utility room to be a sort of domestic Shangri-La. Here are a few of the laundry aids you might enjoy in your magical utility room.
The chemical druthers
The phrase laundry aids is most often associated with detergents and bleaches and color treatments, and in the realm of stain-fighting laundry aids, advances continue to be made. Stain remover sticks have even taken laundry aids outside the laundry room.
Emerging detergent technologies have also brought laundry aids into the world of biotechnology. According to the American Chemical Society, laundry detergents will soon be using silica gel beads to protect the stain-removing enzymes now widely used in laundry detergents. The beads are designed to dissolve in time-release fashion to maximize the cleaning power of detergent.
Hang, hold, rack, and fold
Laundry aids don't necessarily have to be chemical. Laundry aids can also be equipment or accessories designed to make more ergonomic use of your utility room.
Curtain rods and laundry tables traditionally have been the laundry aids used for sorting clothes. But there are many alternatives now available. Such laundry aids include closet organizers, portable clothes butlers, wall-mounted folding laundry valets, and over-the-door clothes organizers.
Other utility room laundry aids are designed to protect your clothes while they're being washed. Mesh wash bags can be used for everything from hosiery to sneakers.
Enhanced shelving options are another form of laundry aids. Towel drying rails, folding wall shelves, and wall-mounted hanging racks can all increase the usefulness of your utility room.
Still, there are some laundry aids that will never require improvement. Nearly 200 years after it was invented, nothing can match the simplicity of the clothespin.
