After trying many ways to sort dirty laundry without covering the entire pantry/laundry room floor, we stumbled on this easily modified system from IKEA. These pieces are part of the “Antonius” series (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/range/10364/11468/). Ours sits adjacent to our LG washer and dryer, and makes use of otherwise wasted vertical space. These bins, when full, hold an extra large load of laundry. They slide in and out easily for sorting and unloading.
The recipe for our organizer configuration, with part numbers and price:
One silver frame 700.200.23 $9.99
One silver frame 901.200.22 $6.99
5 Drawers, transparent 13 gallon 301.012.34 $10 each
Hanger, 6 knobs 400.584.47 $3
Project Total: $69.98
The labels, made with a Brother label maker, on each of our five bins:
1. Whites
2. Black
3. Colors
4. Pink and Red
5. Khaki, Gray, Denim
