- I always pack a laundry hamper when I travel for work and leisure about twice a month.
- My collapsible, mesh basket fits on top of my clothes in my bag, optimizing space.
- The hamper enhances organization in my hotel room and simplifies packing at the end of my trip.
As a frequent traveler who journeys at least twice a month, I’m always seeking ways to simplify my arrival and departure days.
One travel hack I’ve discovered is bringing a collapsible mesh laundry hamper with me on trips.
When empty, this compact basket lies flat on top of my clothes in my suitcase. Its lightweight and space-saving design allows it to have minimal impact on the weight and space limitations of my luggage, making it ideal for longer trips.
Here’s why I consider a laundry hamper an essential item for every trip I take.
It facilitates organization in my hotel room

Once I arrive at my hotel and settle into my room, I start by unpacking my suitcase completely. Then I store my suitcase under the bed or in a corner. Finally, I open my laundry hamper and place it in a corner, closet, or bathroom, depending on the room layout.
Doing this helps me maintain a neat appearance in my room throughout my stay.
I dislike living out of a suitcase during trips because I often have to separate “clean” and “dirty” sides. Having a laundry basket eliminates the need to scatter my dirty clothes on an extra bed, haphazardly pack them in my suitcase, or pile them on an empty chair.
I appreciate being able to locate the items I need in my hotel room without rummaging through small heaps of laundry. I’ve also brought laundry baskets on cruises and riverboats to aid organization in smaller cabins (typically under 250 square feet).
Packing up at the end of my trip is a breeze

The night before I check out of a hotel, I allocate a few minutes to empty my laundry basket onto the bed and fold my clothes to return them to my suitcase. By that point, most if not all of my clothes are dirty, so their placement within the suitcase doesn’t matter.
Then, I collapse the laundry hamper and place it on top of my clothes again.
When morning arrives, all I have to do is throw my pajamas and bathroom essentials into it, and I’m prepared to check out.
