Extra-large laundry baskets may not get you excited, but you don’t know what you’re missing. If you aren’t methodical about washing clothing or your family puts out a ton of dirty laundry during the week, an extra-large laundry hamper could be a lifesaver. Here are our bests ideas for an extra-large laundry hamper to help you find the right one.

Laundry can get unwieldy, so it’s essential to have enough space to store the laundry you have until it’s ready for the wash. An extra-large hamper gives you the space you need, whether it’s carrying to the laundry in your building or just keeping it out of sight until you’re ready for laundry day. Let’s take a look.

It holds a little over 30 gallons of clothing and should give you plenty of space.

Best Collapsible

The freestanding style of this extra-large hamper is convenient for a variety of spaces. It includes wide handles and holds up to 19 gallons of clothing. The minimalist design fits into a variety of decors, and you can clean the exterior with a simple wipe down. It folds up to save space when it’s not in use, and the waterproof interior protects your floors.

How to clean glass shower doors the right way (say goodbye to streaks)
The natural way to get a sparkling, clear shower door — without all the chemicals
Shower with a glass door

Glass shower doors add a touch of elegance to any bathroom, but they can quickly lose their sparkle because of soap scum, grime, and pesky streaks. Fear not! With the right cleaning techniques and a few simple ingredients, you can restore your glass shower door to its pristine condition. Let's explore effective methods for how to clean glass shower doors without leaving behind streaks.
What is the best thing to use to clean glass shower doors?

When it comes to cleaning glass shower doors, you have two primary options: DIY natural cleaners or commercial glass cleaners. DIY solutions are often cost-effective and environmentally friendly, while commercial cleaners may offer convenience and specialized formulas for tough stains.
White vinegar and dish soap for cutting grime
For a powerful yet natural cleaning solution, mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, adding a few drops of dish soap. Spray the solution onto the glass surface and let it sit for a few minutes to loosen the grime. Then, scrub gently with a sponge or microfiber cloth and rinse thoroughly with water. However, exercise caution when using vinegar on surfaces like natural stone, as it can cause damage.
Baking soda and dish soap instead of vinegar solution
If you prefer to avoid vinegar, a mixture of baking soda and dish soap can also effectively tackle grime on glass shower doors. Create a paste by mixing baking soda with a small amount of dish soap, then apply it to the glass using a sponge or cloth. Scrub gently in circular motions, focusing on areas with stubborn stains, before rinsing thoroughly.
Lemon and lemon oil to kick streaks to the curb
Harness the power of citrus to banish streaks from your glass shower doors. Simply cut a lemon in half and rub it directly onto the glass surface, focusing on areas with visible streaks. The acidic properties of the lemon help dissolve residue while leaving behind a fresh, citrusy scent. For added protection against future water marks, lightly coat the glass with lemon oil after cleaning. Your glass won't streak again for a long time!
