Buying guide

How to choose laundry products

You need to choose between different types of detergent, stain removers, and storage baskets when you sort out your laundry. You must find somewhere to put dirty clothes before they go in the washing machine. A laundry hamper keeps your rooms tidy throughout the week. When you put a wash on, you decide between bio and non bio capsules. Some tough marks need a powder soak before the main cycle. After the machine finishes, you might dry items on a rope line and iron them flat. This guide covers bamboo hampers, washing capsules, stain removers, and ironing board covers.

What matters most

When you pick a laundry hamper, you should look at the material and the design. Many Country Club hampers have a bamboo shell with a removable polyester liner. The bamboo comes in natural, grey, and charcoal finishes. Some bamboo baskets have a rectangular shape, while others are round. A few models include a lid to hide the dirty clothes.

If you have a smaller home, look for a hamper that folds flat for a cupboard or a small flat. Some folding baskets feature a durable metal frame to support heavy loads of washing. A large capacity storage basket holds a substantial volume of clothes.

How to choose a washing detergent

You can wash your clothes with bio or non bio capsules. The Ecover Bio washing capsules come in a three pack of 34 pods. They use a double concentrated formula with biobased ingredients. The Persil Non Bio laundry capsules come in three boxes of 44, giving you 132 washes.

The Persil formula is enzyme free and dissolves in a cold wash. You simply drop one pre measured capsule into the drum before you add the laundry. If you live in a hard water area, most detergent makers suggest you use the higher dose printed on the pack.

Removing tough stains

Sometimes your laundry requires extra help to lift marks. You can use Napisan Non Bio stain remover powder. Napisan comes as an 800g powder. You can buy it in single, double, or triple packs. The powder goes straight into the drawer or a separate soak bucket.

For fresh stains, you just add a single scoop to the wash cycle. If you have old stains on your garments, Napisan needs a soak of a few hours. You can leave the items in a bucket of water before you move them to the washing machine.

Sorting and drying your washing

The Country Club lights and darks basket has two sections for sorting as you go. This allows you to separate colours from white items before you reach the machine. When the wash finishes, you can dry clothes naturally outdoors on a line.

A 20m washing line rope offers a heavy duty outdoor clothes line. The Idea Home line has a polyester core and a plastic coating for weather resistance. The 20 metre length easily covers large washing areas for big family loads. To finish the job properly, you might need an ironing board cover.

More laundry storage and ironing

You can also find laundry products designed for younger members of the household. The Cocomelon printed pop up storage box acts as a hamper for children. This pop up hamper features a nylon fabric construction with breathable polyester mesh sides. It folds down flat when not in use and keeps its shape when standing upright.

When you finish washing and drying your items, the Country Club ironing board cover gives you a smooth surface. It has a pure cotton face and a polyester lining. You must iron the product before its first use to get the desired results.

Common questions

How do I use washing capsules in the machine?

You must place the washing capsule directly into the drum of your machine before you add the dirty clothes. You just drop one capsule in for a regular load. The pre measured capsules dissolve during the cycle, and the Persil pods dissolve in a cold wash. You never put capsules into the drawer. Always read the label and follow the instructions on the pack.

How should I tackle old stains on my clothes?

For old stains, you should use Napisan Non Bio stain remover powder. You need to soak the stained garments in a bucket of water with the powder for a few hours. Once the items finish soaking, you can wash them in the machine. For fresh stains, you just add a scoop to the wash alongside your regular detergent.

Do the bamboo laundry hampers fold away?

Many of the Country Club bamboo laundry hampers feature a folding design. This allows you to collapse the hamper flat when you do not need it. A folding basket folds flat for a cupboard or a small flat. You do need to assemble the hamper when you want to stand it upright again to hold clothes.

What are the hampers made from?

The Country Club hampers use a natural bamboo shell that comes in natural, grey, or charcoal finishes. They include a woven polyester liner that you can remove to carry your washing to the machine. You just wipe the bamboo with a cloth to keep it clean. The Cocomelon pop up hamper uses nylon fabric and polyester mesh.

Does the ironing board cover fit all boards?

The Country Club ironing board cover uses an elasticated multi fit design. It stretches over most standard ironing boards. The cover has a pure cotton face and a polyester lining with a deep double layer backing. You must iron the cover before its first use, and you can put it in the washing machine when dirty.
