How To Hang Laundry Baskets On Wall
Hanging Laundry Baskets on the wall is a smart way to save floor space, organize laundry by category, and add convenience to your laundry room or utility area. Whether you’re working in a small apartment or a large hotel laundry facility, wall-mounted baskets help you maintain order while keeping the space neat and accessible.
1. Benefits of Wall-Mounted Laundry Baskets
Maximize space: Keep floors clear, ideal for compact laundry rooms.
Organize better: Separate colors, fabrics, or family members’ clothes.
Improve hygiene: Elevates baskets above damp floors.
Easy access: Perfect height for sorting and collecting clothes.
Aesthetic upgrade: Gives a clean, modern, and functional appearance.
In commercial laundry settings, similar mounting systems are used to keep sorting bins accessible while optimizing workflow.
2. Choose the Right Type of Basket
Different baskets work better with different mounting methods.
| Basket Type | Material | Mounting Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic | Lightweight polypropylene | Wall hooks or adhesive brackets |
| Metal Wire | Steel or aluminum | Wall rack or screw-in hangers |
| Fabric / Canvas | Soft collapsible hampers | Hanging loops or hook rails |
| Mesh Basket | Nylon mesh frame | Command hooks or hanging rods |
Avoid heavy solid baskets unless your wall anchors are strong enough to support the weight of wet laundry.
3. Tools and Materials You’ll Need
Drill and bits (for screw mounting)
Wall anchors or toggle bolts
Level and measuring tape
Stud finder (for drywall installation)
Heavy-duty wall hooks or brackets
Optional: adhesive hooks (for lightweight baskets)
Pencil for marking positions
4. Step-by-Step Installation
Step 1: Choose the Location
Select a section of wall that is easy to reach but out of the main walkway.
Recommended height: 90–110 cm (35–43 in) from the floor.
Leave enough space between baskets — at least 20 cm (8 in) — for loading and unloading.
For multiple baskets, plan the layout in a vertical or horizontal line for better visual balance.
Step 2: Mark and Measure
Use a level and measuring tape to mark where the hooks or brackets will go.
Draw small guide points on the wall using a pencil.
Double-check alignment before drilling.
Step 3: Drill Holes and Insert Anchors
Use a stud finder to locate solid wall studs for mounting.
If studs are unavailable, insert plastic or metal anchors to ensure the hooks hold securely.
Drill carefully — avoid pipes or electrical lines behind the wall.
Step 4: Attach Hooks or Brackets
Screw in heavy-duty hooks, L-shaped brackets, or wall-mounted rails.
Make sure they’re tight and can bear the weight of the filled basket.
For lightweight baskets, you can use adhesive hooks rated for at least 5–10 kg.
Wochang’s commercial laundry baskets often integrate modular hooks and rails, allowing flexible mounting on walls or carts — you can replicate this system at home with wall tracks.
Step 5: Hang the Baskets
Place the basket handles or rims onto the hooks or brackets.
Test stability by gently pulling downward — if it wobbles, tighten the screws.
For fabric baskets, use loops or straps attached to the handles for a snug fit.
Step 6: Label or Organize
Once mounted, label each basket for efficiency:
Whites
Darks
Delicates
Towels
Color-coded baskets or tags make sorting faster, especially in family or shared laundry areas.
5. Safety and Maintenance Tips
Do not overload baskets — especially on drywall.
Periodically check screws and anchors for loosening.
Clean baskets regularly to prevent dust buildup.
For damp laundry, use ventilated baskets to avoid mildew.
If installing in a bathroom or humid room, choose rustproof metal or waterproof plastic baskets.
