IKEA’s $9 Modern Laundry Basket Has Shoppers Buying Up to 8 to Organize Their Entire Home
There are four bright colors to choose from, and they are useful for laundry, chores, crafts, organizing, pets, and more
Taking your washing to and from the machine is one of the easiest parts of laundry day, but that certainly doesn't mean it's not without its difficulties.
From dropped socks to sopping wet piles, the IKEA TORKIS Flexible Laundry Basket is the cure for all laundry-related woes – and it's only $9.99.
Large, durable, easy-to-carry, and mold-proof, it's makes doing laundry that little bit easier.
All prices were correct at the time of publication.
With a nine-gallon capacity, this flexible laundry basket can be used both indoors and outside. It's lightweight and mold-proof too.
The IKEA TORKIS is universally appealing. If you have a dryer, you can use it to carry items to it from your washing machine, or to hold items securely while you wait for a load to finish.
If you prefer to enjoy the benefits of air-drying laundry, you can carry items in and out of your backyard and around your house with comfortable ease as it's lightweight and has ergonomic handles.
And, in any case, you can use it as a laundry basket, or simply to transport items to and from your laundry room, and the plastic materials mean there's no worry of mold and mildew developing.
For that reason, it's the ideal laundry accessory, whatever your set-up. What's more, it costs just shy of $10, and there are four pretty, poppy colors to choose from.
What Shoppers Say
The IKEA TORKIS is available in a variety of bright colors − I like this pale blue option best.
It's no surprise, then, that verified shopper Cathy crowns the IKEA TORKIS the 'best laundry basket.'
'Highly recommend this great quality laundry basket,' she says. 'I have purchased four of them. Perfect.'
She's not the only reviewer to buy multiple, either. 'Obsessed,' says Jillian,' who has purchased eight in total. 'Started with one for each kid as a laundry basket. Quickly realized that I needed one in my trunk and several more for laundry and toting items to and from home. I am I LOVE with these!'
Additionally, the versatility of this basket doesn't just stop at doing laundry.
As Catherine details in her five-star review, she uses one for dog toys, and another is needed for holding everything needed for painting outdoor pot plants. 'We have special outdoor paints, paint brushes, terracotta pots, and garden gnomes all set for when the kids in the family come to visit,' she explains. 'We just grab the tub, put all the supplies on the patio table, and we all paint away. I absolutely love these tubs!!'
Others note that it's perfect for bottom-watering houseplants, and can even double up as a high-sided cat litter box.
With four colors to choose from, I'm tempted to order one in every shade, just like fellow reviewer Arron, who adds, 'I have this basket in every color.'
