published 11 September 2020

The best laundry butler can really help you out in the washing and drying department. These roll-along companions will save your back when moving heavy loads of laundry around your home, help keep your laundry room tidy, and offer somewhere to hang garments thanks to their valet bars. There are two main designs to choose between — ones with baskets and ones with hamper bags. We have gathered a selection of both for your consideration.
