Lauva 75L Waterproof Laundry Basket

Seventy five litres is the point where a laundry basket stops being a token gesture. The Lauva basket from Velora is built for households that create real washing: bedding, towels, a week of school uniform or a family's worth of gym kit all fit comfortably without spilling over the rim by Thursday. It is the kind of practical upgrade you wonder how you lived without.

The body is a waterproof coated fabric, which is the detail that matters once damp towels or swimwear go in. It keeps moisture away from carpets and floorboards and wipes out easily if anything leaks. Reinforced handles on both sides take the weight of a full load, so carrying it downstairs to the washing machine is easy, and the structured sides stand upright on their own rather than slumping into a heap.

Four styles are available to suit bedrooms, bathrooms and utility rooms, each designed to look tidy rather than utilitarian. Use one per bedroom or keep one on each floor of the house to cut down on trips. Wipe the inside clean with a damp cloth as needed, and empty wet items promptly to keep things fresh. Keep it out of the reach of toddlers when full and heavy.
