The Safety of Having an Organized Laundry Room

They say that kitchens and bathrooms can be the most dangerous areas of the house. The laundry room can also provide opportunities for injuries if it is not well organized. Here are a few ways that you can turn your laundry room into a safer spot for you and the members of your family.
Begin by putting one of the most dangerous?and yet useful?laundry accessories in a secure location. Your iron is heavy and can do serious damage to someone's foot if this implement is knocked off the top of the dryer. Not only is it heavy, but it is often extremely hot as well. So put it in its place with the Over the Door Iron Board Holder. A center holder provides you with the perfect spot to store your iron. There it will be out of reach of the curious fingers of children and it will sit securely instead of being in the way. Two side bottle holders provide you with space to store a can of starch and a bottle of water, both useful when it's time to take down the ironing board and iron to press clothing.

Your T-frame ironing board will hang securely from this heavy steel organizer that fits right over the top of your door. No more worrying about it falling from its precarious position leaning against any handy wall space. Mounting hardware is included if you would prefer to hang this handy organizer on a wall instead of over the door. Either way, you'll feel safer when your iron and ironing board are stored away in this useful organizer.
Another danger in the laundry room comes in the form of the cleaners and softeners that are so necessary to clean clothing. The Laundry Caddy can hide most of your laundry supplies out of the sight of your young children because it fits between the washer and dryer or between either of those machines and the wall. The casters on the bottom make it easy to roll in and out, so you'll discover that putting your supplies of sight won't impact you on laundry day. But having those supplies out of sight keeps them out of the minds of your children. Three sturdy melamine shelves offer you plenty of space for large boxes or bottles, and you can even store your iron and bag of clothes pins in this handy unit.
Piles of dirty laundry make sorting simple, but can create tripping hazards, too. Eliminate the likelihood that someone's feet will get tangled in a piece of clothing that is lying on the floor by sorting your laundry in the Triple Storage Bin with Black Frame and 2.5 In Casters. This heavy duty steel frame storage unit can handle all your wash-day linens and clothes because it comes with three removable bags. Darks, lights and delicates will each have their own place, up off the floor. The unit glides easily on casters, too, so you can move it into a corner of the laundry room for even more safety. When it's time to remove your clean clothes from the dryer, you can load them right back into the mesh and canvas bags until you're ready to start folding.
You might not have a lot of space in your laundry room, but you can still get those piles of clothing off the floor when you use the Chrome Commercial Laundry Butler. This sturdy organizer features a chrome wire basket to hold dirty or clean laundry plus a shelf on the bottom to hold your laundry detergent or folded clean clothes. Hang shirts and slacks from the bar at the top as soon as they come out of the dryer. You won't have to worry about a tripping hazard when you use this handy unit to get your laundry room organized.
If your laundry room doubles as a recycling center, you'll want to make sure that it doesn't become overrun with clutter. Use the Rectangular Storage Container to corral empty soda cans and water bottles. If you usually just toss them into a cardboard box, you've probably experienced a soggy mess when it comes time to carry the box to the curb. Those few drops left in the bottom of a bottle or can add up and can create a slippery mess on the floor. Eliminate that hazard by using one or more of these canvas containers that feature a water-resistant vinyl lining. No more fear of slipping on a wet floor, and the sturdy handles make it easy for you to lift the container and carry it to the curb or to the car.
These are just a few of the ways that you can deal with unsafe conditions that might occur in your laundry room. Put one or more of them to use today and relax in the knowledge that you are doing your part in preventing injuries at home.
