Would this work for laundry? I pick up my Mom's dirty laundry from the nursing home and take it home, wash and dry it and return it to her .

I think it would work fine for that purpose. It'll tote just about anything you want to put in it. I'd maybe put a plastic garbage liner in it for the soiled laundry, and take it out when you put the clean clothes in.

Hi SJ. I think this would work just fine for that purpose. I've seen some VERY large laundry carts and I'd imagine that one person's laundry wouldn't require that much space. I like the height of this handle (I'm tallish at 5'8") and I also like that there are 2 pockets, front and back, that you could put personal items. Unlike other carts, it's also fully enclosed and if you get caught in the rain, your laundry won't get "soaked" again! PS: You're a good daughter to your mom.

It would definitely work for laundry. My Mom uses her for that, too. It is really handy for groceries but laundry works as well. She can take a big bottle of detergent and not have to buy the more expensive smaller containers. For you taking it home, it's ideal. Enjoy.

Yes it would work. I use it when I take my oversize bedding (king size mattress pad, etc) to the laundromat, along with the detergents in the bottom. It can handle the bedding even though I bring it home wet (equals heavy) because I can't use their dryers because of allergies to the dryer sheets. I would put the dirty clothes in a plastic bag, however. I swear, this thing has an amazing amount of uses. If we didn't live in a small apartment, we'd have another of these on hand in case this one ever breaks. We've had it about 2 1/2 years, though, and use it at least 4-5 days a week and so far it still doesn't even look used! By the way, I wish the best for your mom. Denise Yes it would work.

I imagine it would. The only negative I see is the cart is tall vs. wide. So you would need to get creative about how to put folded laundry in there.

Of course. It has a large capacity. It can easily take a set of sheets, towels and personal clothing.

It would work for laundry if you are walking to and from your home to your mother's nursing home. I would say it is big enough and sturdy enough for one person's laundry. As others are telling you, the laundry might get a little wrinkled.

Yes, it be great.. I carry my groceries with bottle or 6 pack soft drinks so it has been great.

I purchased this cart for use while our street is being torn up and replaced. Since the work hasn't started yet, so the cart is sitting my my trunk in the meantime. However, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work for laundry.
931732
I don't see why it wouldn't. The clothes would be subject to more creasing than a large laundry basket but harder to carry.

You can unhook it and wash it. So, that said, you can probably take it to the laundromat.

By hand yes but I think it might tear in the washing machine if its a little worn. Maybe if it was brand new but after awhile the plastic areas will begin to break through the fabric. I definitely wouldn't put it in the dryer.

I looked at their website and there are laundry-use instructions, as well as other kinds of uses.Good luck.

Yes and No, but I guess it depends on how much wet laundry. I use a plastic laundry basket with wheels when I carry 20 to 80 pounds of wet laundry. I seriously doubt this was made for wet laundry use, as with everything one should use common sense.

I have a fairly large washer and dryer and it turned out wonderful!!! Perhaps if you don't have a large enough washer and dryer you could take it to the Laundromat to was and dry.

Sure this can be used for sorting dirty clothes. You can maybe use it to coordinate lights, darks etc. Thank you

I would definitely throw it in the washing machine if it got dirty. I haven't tried it yet but it looks durable enough to do so.

I have a large capacity washer and dryer, so I can wash 6 bath towels at a time. Each of the bags holds about one load of laundry. If you are doing that much laundry, you may want to consider something different because it seems the tabletop on this would always be up with the bags overflowing. I have a teenage daughter in several sports simultaneously and I would say this sorter is perfect for us. So, if you do a few loads every day, this should work for you. If you want to store the laundry until the weekend, this will quickly overflow.

I have the biggest size (bedcover) and I took mine to the laundromat and used their largest washer and dryer. I think it would be too much for a regular sized washer just because of the size.

Yes....but take it to the laundry mat and wash it. Put it in one of the front loads (medium).

I place a laundry bag over it so it does not get dirty. When I need to do laundry, I just grab the laundry bag out.

Yes. This is what I do just because I am not sure how well it would actually "wash" I use one of my detergent pods then I put in a shot glass full of the detergent in my liquid detergent dispenser. My clothes come out smelling so good!! I only use this on my own clothes and my sheets. No sense washing the hubbies work clothes in this. :)

Yes, it can be used for laundry. I've heard of it being used directly in the washer, but I make a detergent that works better than anything I've ever used-- 1 cup each baking soda and washing soda, mix in 1/2 cup castile soap then 1 cup vinegar. It takes a lot of stirring (I use my kitchenAid mixer), but it turns back into a powder. I use 1/4-1/3 cup per large load and, man, are my clothes clean! Even dirty, sweaty work clothes and baby diapers come out smelling clean (not clean "scented", but actually clean) and they are soft because the vinegar acts as a fabric softener. People have complimented me on the softness of my fleece and don't really believe me when I tell them why!

Yes it is very sturdy and absolutely great for a laundromat! It does not fold up, so if you have to transport it or use stairs, it would not work. If you can leave it where you do laundry it would work.
1414777
Absolutely NOT! A few table spoons of anything won't clean the DIRTIEST laundry you'll ever do. Save yourself some time and buy some powdered Tide or Gain. If it's marketed towards cloth diapers, it's a weak detergent with tons of water softeners. If you used the correct amount of this stuff, it'd be cost prohibitive. Plus babies are getting chemical burns from this stuff!

I think if they become dirty you might be able to wash them, but I do not think their intended purpose is to provide fabric softening in a washer. They are balls of wool that bounce around in the dryer to keep the clothes separated. I'm not sure how useful they would be in a washer.
