If your machines are side-by-side, add a countertop for folding space. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

Do you have a couple of inches of dead space between your units?  Add a pull-out shelf!  You can store your bottles in that space!

If your laundry closet is nowhere near a trash can, install one on the wall to hold lint and dryer sheets. Empty it when it’s full. It’s so much more convenient than running down the hall when you’re in the middle of doing laundry.
