" I have a pocket-size laundry way without a ton of storage , so I care to corral groups of items into baskets that are well-fixed to seize . This set from Mustard Made is pure because I can salt away my essentials ( laundry soap , cloth softener , and drier sheets ) in the large one , while storing lesser - used item in the smaller two . It ’s dainty not to have a bunch of loose products on the ledge , and I love the bright color option ! "

I add some when I wash out my exercise gearing , and it removes odour from everything with no lingering residue — and it keeps my favorite legging feel like - new , too . "
