Simple solutions for everyday laundry tasks
Carrying laundry
You don’t have to carry heavy baskets to and from the laundry when you use a washing basket trolley. The trolley's height prevents you from having to bend over when hanging your clothes out. You can also hang clothes on an airer inside to reduce the number of steps you’re taking.
Hanging out the laundry
Adjust the clothesline to suit your height. Try using a chair or table to place the washing basket. If pegs are difficult to use, hang clothes on a hanger, or try pegs that are easy to open and have a large, non-slip grip.
Using the washing machine
Raise your front-loading washing machine to waist height or install a washer stand. If you have trouble seeing the numbers, use contrasting stick-on dots to show when the dial is on, off, or set to the correct wash program. You can also buy convenient dial turners to assist you.
Ironing
Fold clothes as you remove them from the line to reduce ironing. Consider buying clothes that don’t need ironing.
