A clothes hamper is a container used for collecting dirty laundry. Typically made from materials like fabric, plastic, or wicker, it helps keep clothes organized and out of sight until they are ready to be washed. Hamper designs can vary, with some featuring lids to contain odors and others having multiple compartments for sorting different types of laundry. Clothes hampers come in various sizes and styles to fit different spaces and personal preferences. They can be placed in bedrooms, bathrooms, or laundry rooms. Some hampers are portable, making it easy to transport laundry to the washing machine or dry cleaner.
