I am building the best ADHD laundry room of all time. By laundry room, I mean my back porch, where the laundry lives. These are all the items I have scrimped and saved to buy to make my laundry experience so much easier as a person with ADHD.

Best laundry units
Washer dryer combo is the most important part of the elevated ADHD laundry experience. One button from dirty to clean - no switching from washer to dryer.

A stackable comes in second place after the all-in-one.
Stackable - Washers & Dryers
Make sure to have a washer pan with a drain underneath your unit in case it overflows.
Pan - Washing Machine Parts
Makes it easier to access your all-in-one unit by lifting it off the floor slightly. Make sure the unit is balanced, otherwise things will get wonky if you lift it up on a pedestal.
Washer and Dryer Pedestals
Best detergents
People stop me on the street to ask me what perfume I'm wearing - it's not perfume, it's this detergent. Cut it half/half with something unscented to make it last.
DIVA® - Glamorous Wash 128 oz
Best unscented and free and clear detergent.
ARM & HAMMER™ Liquid Laundry Detergent Products
Stain-remover boost for anything that maybe sat too long with a stain on it.
OxiClean
Best organization
I have heaps and heaps of these for sorting laundry - dirty laundry stays grouped like with like (one bin for dirty socks, one bin for dirty gym clothes) and each type of laundry gets cleaned on its own. It gets put into a fresh bin on the other side...
Mesh Hamper
I keep this next to the washer dryer to stack my bins. One day, maybe a built-in. For now, this is plenty.

A wall-mounted rack that hides away is super helpful for anything that needs to be air dried
Towel & Clothes Drying Racks
Maintenance
Keep your lint traps clean - lint will make the units less effective.
Dryer Vent Brush - Dryer Parts
Vacuum out that lint trap early and often. Get ahead of any issues.
Holikme 2-Piece Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit
I use a toothbrush to get into nooks and crannies and keep the lint trap clean.
