Helpful Notes & FAQs

What can I use a French laundry sack for?

A French laundry sack is useful for separating laundry, a decorative element in your laundry, carrying clothes to the washing machine or storing worn or old clothing.  It can also be used to organise toys, as reusable shopping bags, spare linen and other lightweight household items.  Its foldable design makes it particularly convenient for travel.

Can laundry sacks be used when travelling?

Yes.  A fabric laundry sack can separate worn clothing from clean garments inside a suitcase.  It folds flat when empty and can be hung in a hotel bathroom or wardrobe using its drawstring.

Are storage baskets only suitable for laundry?

No.  Wicker and woven baskets can also hold towels, toys, cushions, throws, spare linen and other household essentials.  Always consider the basket’s dimensions and construction before storing particularly heavy items.

Can storage baskets also be decorative?

Yes.  Natural wicker and rattan baskets are perfect for French Country decor, they add warmth and texture while helping contain everyday clutter.  Storage baskets can be positioned in laundries, bedrooms and living rooms or beside a sofa for cushions and throws.

How do I choose the right storage option?

Choose a fabric sack for flexible, foldable storage; a wicker laundry basket for larger loads and bulky textiles; a wall hook shelf for hanging frequently used items; and a compartment organiser for smaller household essentials.

How should wicker, rattan and timber organisers be cared for?

Remove dust with a soft cloth or brush and keep natural materials away from prolonged dampness.  Timber organisers should generally be wiped with a soft, dry cloth.  Follow the care instructions provided with each individual product.

Will handmade storage products vary in appearance?

Yes.  Handcrafted natural products can vary slightly in colour, weave, measurements and shape.  These differences are part of their individual character rather than manufacturing faults.

Can a French market basket be used in the laundry?

Yes.  A French market basket can provide decorative storage for pegs, cleaning cloths, lightweight laundry items or folded towels.  It may be placed on a shelf or floor, or hung from a properly secured hook where suitable.  Avoid overloading the basket or suspending heavy, wet laundry.
