I Won’t Do My Laundry Without These Amazon Essentials Starting at $6

Got delicates? Then you need these mesh bags. The set comes with 3 large and 3 medium sizes and can extend the life of your undergarments. They’re only $6 right now and feature a breathable design that’s also great for travel.

I didn’t know how much I needed these wool dryer balls until I had them. They not only absorb moisture, circulate air, and prevent your clothes from clumping, they can also make clothes feel softer (without the use of fabric softeners). Just pop them in your dryer and they can last up to 3.5 years.

As a mom of a preschooler and a toddler, this stain brush has been a godsend in my house. It easily fits in your hand and I use it on clothes, furniture, and more. The brush even helped to get out the yellow stains in my husband’s white collared shirt.

This stain treater spray, along with the above brush, is the stain-fighting duo you didn’t know you needed. Just spray, blot, and rinse. It also comes with 45,800+ 5-star Amazon reviews where one fan raved, “I have been known as a stain/laundry guru in my family but this product has gotten a few stains (in one day) that I have been fighting for weeks.”

Do your sheets get all tangled up in the washer and dryer? Then you need these detanglers. Just tuck in the corners of your fitted and flat sheet (the set comes with 2), and pop them into the machine. They’ll keep your sheets from getting all balled up and can even cut down on drying time.

Lint can build up quickly in your dryer’s nooks and crannies, which could affect your machine’s efficiency and possibly cause a fire. Avoid that with this attachment brush that easily clips onto your vacuum. It’s so handy and fits onto most vacuums.

If you find fuzz and piling on your sweaters as annoying as I do, then you need this best-selling fabric shaver. It will make your clothes look brand new and is backed by 94,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews. One shopper raved, “a game-changer, saving both my money and my clothes. I was ready to throw out or donate a pile of clothes, but this shaver restored them.”

If your washing machine isn’t smelling as fresh as you’d like, you should check out these descaler tablets. They work with all types of washers, just pop it in to remove odors and keep clothes smelling fresh.

This handy organizer and drip tray is something I’ve gifted to everyone in my family. It’s genius — just fasten your heavy detergent to the sloped surface and let gravity do the work. No more lifting and lugging heavy containers, plus the drip tray makes sure there’s no mess.

I never remember to air-dry my delicates. But, this drying rack helps to remind me. It’s backed by 49,700+ 5-star Amazon reviews and, best of all, it easily folds up when you’re not using it (a bonus for my cramped NYC apartment).

With a chic design and cute lilac colorway, this is my steamer of choice. It takes 20 seconds to heat up, gets out wrinkles in a snap (so I don’t have to drag out my ironing board), and comes with a thick mitt (so you don’t burn your fingers).

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly steamer, this option is a solid pick. It’s backed by over 76,100 5-star Amazon reviews and boasts up to 15 minutes of continuous, wrinkle-fighting steam.

I live with 2 children, so my laundry piles up fast. This double hamper makes it easy to separate clothes (especially the delicates) and conveniently features removable laundry bags. Plus, the sturdy design keeps it stable no matter where I put it.

Currently, I have a washer and dryer in my apartment (brag), but when I didn’t, I swore by this laundry backpack. It makes it easy to transport dirty clothes to the laundromat, includes a pocket for detergent, and can also serve as a hamper when you’re not using it.
