Laundry can feel like one of those endless chores that’s never fully ticked off the to-do list. Whether it's the never-ending cycle of sorting, washing, drying, or the dreaded task of ironing, keeping it all organised can feel like a bit of a nightmare. But, as with anything in life, the right tools can make all the difference! That’s why I’m excited to share how Joseph Joseph’s clever laundry products have transformed my routine, saving me valuable time and space, and making laundry day feel like less of a chore.
Drying laundry can be a bit of a headache, especially if you’re short on space or trying to dry delicate items without them getting all creased or misshapen. The Eclipse™ Airer has been a total game-changer in my household. This isn’t your typical clothes airer - its modern, compact design means it can hold a surprising amount of laundry without taking up half your living room. It’s sturdy, easy to set up, and folds away neatly when not in use. Plus, it has this clever feature where the arms can rotate, making it so much easier to hang and dry your clothes evenly.
My husband has a huge number of boxers but insists on cycling through the same 9 pairs as ‘they’re the comfy ones’, which means a wash doesn’t go by without several pants being a part of it. The Petal™ Hanger is perfect for drying smaller items like socks and underwear (holding up to 32 separate laundry items) and folds flat for compact, space-saving storage.

Top tips for drying clothes indoors (especially on a cold day):
- Use a Drying Rack Near a Heat Source: Place a drying rack near a radiator, heater, or in a well-ventilated area to speed up the drying process on cold days. Avoid placing clothes directly on heat sources to prevent damage.
- Maximise Air Circulation: Ensure good airflow by spacing out clothes on the rack. Use a fan or open windows briefly to enhance air circulation and reduce drying time.
-
Flip and Rotate Clothes: Regularly flip and rotate clothes on the drying rack to allow even drying and prevent damp spots, especially on thicker fabrics.
- Use a Dehumidifier: If you have one, run a dehumidifier in the drying area. It removes moisture from the air, helping clothes dry faster and preventing dampness in your home.
Now, let’s get to the one part of laundry that can feel particularly daunting - ironing. If you’re anything like me, you’ve avoided it most of your adult life but with a summer wardrobe dominated by linen, it’s a chore you cannot ignore. Now, our challenge has always been a lack of storage, and a full-sized ironing board is a luxury we can’t make room for. Enter the Swift™ Table Top Ironing Mat from Joseph Joseph—a total lifesaver!
The Swift™ Table Top Ironing Mat is designed for those of us who want to get the job done quickly and efficiently. It’s perfect for smaller spaces because you don’t need a full ironing board—just pop the mat on any flat surface, and you’re good to go. It’s great for quick touch-ups, and because it’s heat-resistant, it protects your surfaces from damage. Plus, it’s also designed for steaming clothes, which has made getting rid of creases so much easier, especially on delicate fabrics.
