#5 Even better! A laundry room helper!
No matter if you have a laundry room or not, you should definitely have a laundry cart. Especially if you do not have a laundry room, it will definitely help keep all things laundry organized and easy to get on hand without having them spread around different cabinets or taking up too much space wherever you are normally storing them.
Not only will it give you more room to store other stuff in the laundry cabinet or closet, but you will also be able to easier tell when you are going to have to replace certain items.
