The best hanging hamper may not feel like the most exciting buy, but it sure is an essential one. Especially if you live in a small apartment – or a home without a utility room – and are looking to separate clean and dirty clothes, or store toys and other items, with ease. And if you take the time to choose the right option for your requirements, we're sure you will find laundry less of a daunting task, too.
When shopping for the best hanging hamper, we'd recommend that you start by thinking about size. Once you've decided how much space you're willing to lose to your hanging hamper, you can start deciding whether separate compartments for dark and light laundry will come in handy.
