9 Dorm Laundry Essentials For Freshman Year

This post may contain affiliate links, which means that if you make a purchase, I might make a small commission at no extra charge to you.

This is a post all about the dorm room laundry essentials you may need for your dorm room during your freshman year and beyond.

This is a continuation of the dorm room series that was started as we prepare for my daughter to attend Hawai’i Pacific University.

The travel date was changed today to August 10th instead of the 17th.

This is because Hawai’i extended the quarantine for travelers coming in until September.

My daughter and her roommate will fly solo (no parents) to HPU where they will quarantine in their room only coming out for orientation activities on campus.

In their case, they will also have a student-athlete who will help them pick up dorm room orders from local stores such as Walmart and Target.

Therefore the more prep we do over the next three weeks the better!

That said here is the list of dorm laundry essentials we are considering:

1. Laundry Basket With Divider

This basket is perfect for separating darks from whites. Also helpful for carrying things on move-in day.

buy from amazon

2. Pop-up Hamper

I love the option of separate bags for easy transport to the laundry room.

buy on amazon

This one is cute and love the handles at the top.

buy from amazon

This bag was great for doing the laundry and it’s super inexpensive.

buy from target

3. Drying Rack

For the student who likes to air dry their clothes, this foldable drying rack is perfect.

buy from amazon

7. Steamer

For many students this will be more useful than an iron and board. It takes up way less room too!

Buy from Amazon

8. Iron & Board

For those who do like to have their clothes ironed here is one with the steam feature.

buy from amazon
dorm-laundry-essentials-ironing-board

You will need this if you choose to iron because your comforter or duvet WILL get ruined if you iron on the bed!

buy from walmart

9. Step Stool

Depending on where the laundry center is located this may be useful. Also great if you have high cabinets or hard to reach areas in your dorm room.

Buy from walmart

Don’t forget these!

  • Wrinkle Releaser
  • Stain Remover
  • Laundry Detergent
  • Fabric Softener
  • Bleach
  • Tide to go
  • Lint Roller

This should cover all the essentials you’ll need to keep your clothes fresh & clean during your college years!

Since my daughter has been washing her own clothes for years I’m confident she’s got this and you do too!

Have an awesome day full of Unicorns + Rainbows!
