These inexpensive must-haves should be at the top of your shopping list if you want to make your next laundry day a breeze.

Dryer Balls

A more eco-friendly option than dryer sheets, and a less messy option than fabric softener, wool dryer balls keep your clothes from sticking together and allow hot air to circulate more evenly and efficiently, reducing drying time.

Mesh Laundry Bag 

If you’re constantly losing your socks or find yourself replacing delicate undergarments after they’ve been destroyed by your washer’s agitator, a mesh laundry bag will be your best friend.

Washing Machine Lint and Hair Catcher

These are truly a must-have if you find that your clothes come out of the dryer covered with more dog or cat hair than your lint catcher could take out.

Dye-Catcher Sheets

Whether you’re washing your new red towels or some brand-new denim jeans, these sheets could be a lifesaver for the first few loads.
