This foam-lined, polyester-blend portable laundry hamper ($39.95 at Crate & Barrel, 650 Madison Ave., at 60th St.; 212-308-0011) pops up like a tote bag for easier lugging.



These all-natural wool dryer balls ($21.95 for three at Green Depot, 222 Bowery, nr. Prince St.; 212-226-0444) pummel your clothes to a wrinkle-free state while slashing dryer time in half.


Get organized—and save closet space—by stowing empty hangers in a collapsible hanger hamper ($7.99 at the Container Store, 629 Sixth Ave., at 19th St.; 212-366-4200).


OXO’s steel drying rack ($69.99 at Gracious Home, 1992 Broadway, at 67th St.; 212-231-7800) is sturdy enough to support sopping-wet denim and spacious enough to keep garments from overlapping.
