Don't you find it somewhat ironic that the laundry room, a space used to launder things in, is often one of the more chaotic-looking areas of the house? Between the never-ending piles of clothes and cleaning supplies, it's a miracle anything makes it out looking ready for primetime. Well, we might not be able to fold T-shirts for you, but we do want to share a fun storage solution we came across: the Whole Housewares Laundry Detergent Container. Designed to hold pods and powdered detergent, it's much more aesthetically pleasing than those loud-colored boxes the cleaners come in and can help make your space look more put-together. Oh, and it happens to be on sale for just $21 (down from $34) at Amazon.
This metal bin has a modern farmhouse vibe that'll take your cluttered laundry room from "Eek!" to chic.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
According to our price trackers, this container is as low as it's ever been on sale for at nearly 40% off — you'll want to apply the on-page coupon for the full discount. Prices vary between colors, and the black version is currently the least expensive (it also comes in light blue or white, and you won't pay more than $25 for either).
Why do I need this? 🤔
If you're tired of looking at a shelf of unsightly detergent boxes, the Whole Housewares container is a savvy swap for several reasons. Not only will it improve the look of your laundry room with its minimalist metal frame, but it can also help extend the life of your detergent. Powdered detergents can get clumpy if they're exposed to moisture, but this storage box includes an airtight lid for extra protection. It can hold about one standard-size box of detergent, has handles for easy carrying and comes with a scoop that hooks right onto the side of the container. Is there anything they didn't think of when designing this?
What reviewers say 💬
With an impressive 4.6-star average rating, this little bin scores high marks for its looks and airtight lid.
Pros 👍
"I put my OxiClean powder in this metal container," shared one satisfied shopper. "The OxiClean comes in a cardboard box and the powder [is] inside a plastic bag. This is so much easier to use. Because it’s a powder, it can lump up if there’s any moisture in the air and if you don’t properly close the plastic bag. This container also comes with a metal scoop, much sturdier than the one that comes with the OxiClean. With an airtight lid, I never worry about moisture getting in! And it looks super stylish in my laundry room."
"Too cute," swooned another. "[It's] nice that the measuring cup hangs on [the] side of [the] container to easily get to. Looks great on my laundry shelf."
"Keeps powdered laundry detergent fresh," said a third. "[I] like the fact that this one has a tight-fitting lid; holds one of the 30-load boxes, very practical and neat-looking — like you've got it together, lol."
Cons 👎
"This container looks good and is so much nicer than the box my detergent came in," wrote a generally pleased buyer. Their one note? "The scoop is too big, so I bought a smaller one and leave it inside — so the one that came with it is for decoration only."
"It was smaller than I thought it would be," remarked a final reviewer. "I needed something larger. It was pretty cool, though. Just too small."
Prefer white? It's on sale for just a few bucks more.
Psst: Here are some additional options to check out...
If you prefer a clear bin so you can see how much detergent you have left, this one has a convenient one-press lid, a sealing silicone gasket to keep things dry and a measuring cup.
Need a few containers for detergent, dryer sheets and the like? This trio is a great price and comes with pre-printed labels for all sorts of odds and ends.
If you use liquid detergent, these pitchers are ideal for pouring, though they can hold dry cleaning products as well. Included are a measuring cup, waterproof labels and a tray for the dispensers to rest on.
