The rigid wire rack on the top of the tall laundry basket keeps the basket upright, even when empty. HomeHacks laundry baskets are durable and attractive, made of high-quality cotton and linen double-layer fabrics. The stitching is very delicate, yet strong and soft to the touch. The smooth waterproof inside coating ensures that the hamper stays dry and prevents unpleasant odors. Just wipe off the dirt with a wet sponge or cloth or rinse with cold water. Do not wash in the washing machine or dryer. The long handles on each side of the laundry basket make it easy to carry the large laundry hamper with one or both hands. The handle is tightly stitched with durable needlework to carry even heavy loads without tearing.
