The phrase "laundry" induces an image of busy washing machines loudly shaking and rumbling, the round window displaying wildly gyrating smalls and sudsy, murky water.In the days when they were more commonplace most people will have probably imagined a launderette, with women of all ages (usually) seated on a bench seat, idling away time whilst the two bob cycle ran its course. Then it was out with the load, a quick look to make certain that a solitary sock hadn't become stuck in some obscure corner of the equipment, then across to the tumble dryer for the big finale.In fact in the literal sense the word "laundry" doesn't, or at least didn't, relate to the garments themselves, nor to the establishment in which they were washed, but to the actual process of transforming them from the sullied items that they had been previously into the clean, fresh-smelling, fluffy items that, assuming stated process was productive, will have surfaced at the conclusion of it all.We still have launderettes, but fortunately for most people the washing machine is a fixture of the majority of homes these days. It enables us to do our necessary work whilst attending to other things, in the warmth and comfort of our own homes without the inquisitive prying eyes of others and safe from the unwelcome attentions of the local knicker thief.Whilst the domestic appliance is definitely more convenient, for anyone whose task it is though, the limited space available to most does lead to further problems of its own. Notably there is the issue of storage and transportation. The huge bins that the patron of the launderette would use to transport items from one machine to another are certainly not practical accessories for most kitchens or bathrooms. Something better suited is desirable.The demand thus created is satisfied by the canvas laundry bag - a neat and tidy, foldaway, washable item in which clothes can be transported back and forth from the washing machine but, more to the point, in which they can be stored between washes.A quick search on the internet will reveal many types of some excellent and very handy foldaway laundry bags, baskets and bins. These can variously be hooked up, placed on the ground and easily transported by use of a handle.Whilst on the subject of storage it's not only laundry items that can be conveniently and unobtrusively stored round the bathroom or elsewhere in the home. Bathroom storage bags make it simple for us to stack away items, making our homes look far more tidy and giving back so much of our own valued space.You'll find a fabulous selection of practical foldaway laundry bags, baskets and bins plus other useful home storage ideas at All Up and On, the UK homestores specialist.
