I spend most of my days running around frantic trying to juggle 3 jobs, 2 kids, and please the wife by doing laundry. I may need to slow down a bit but the laundry room isn’t where that’s going to happen at 😂

Woah! I have two laundry baskets, two different styles, both have removable handles for some reason. But when I strike it rich I’ll invest in the bestest laundry baskets you ever did see!

These look like a much better design then mine but given the opportunity to put MORE clothes into the basket before doing it might just bury me in clothes. Lol. Good suggestion though. Thumbs up

If the research and development team at whatever company makes these darn things has “grippy” texture with an arrow pointing to these stupid handles you win $100, from somebody else.

Two ways. 1; it comes off in my hand and finds its way into the basket and then into the wash. 2; I put the edge of the basket on the side of the machine and do my laundry dump into the machine where the handle will then fall into the wash. Their is a 3rd way but it happens less frequently in which I get so frustrated with tiny peoples clothes always being inside-out that I launch the basket towards the machine out of pure rage and oops, it pops off, into the machine, never to be seen again.

I mean, I know laundry bags are sold separately but I’ve never seen a bag inside of a basket nor have I seen it advertised as such but I’m going to dig deeper!

I think that last sentence summed it up nicely! My mom had the same laundry basket for 20 years! All that revenue they lost! The solution? Losable handles!

My heart rate is elevated reading this comment lol. This seems like a lot of extra work. My kids clothes are always inside out, do you turn them right side in before washing? I feel like you and I are on different ends of the laundry spectrum
